IHG to Open Holiday Inn Bengaluru Electronic City

International

IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement with Thanishq Hospitality to develop a new Holiday Inn in Bengaluru’s Electronic City.

Scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2029, the 200-room hotel will enhance IHG’s footprint in one of India’s major IT parks and strengthen its position in a key growth market.

Holiday Inn Bengaluru Electronic City will feature IHG’s next-generation Open Lobby concept, designed as a flexible space where guests can work, relax, or dine. This aligns with the brand’s focus on modern travel needs and builds on Holiday Inn’s global presence of over 1,200 hotels.

The hotel will include 200 guest rooms and suites, three dining venues, four meeting spaces including a ballroom, a fitness centre, swimming pool, and ample parking. It will serve both business and leisure travelers and become the second Holiday Inn property in the city, each catering to different areas of demand.

Sudeep Jain, Managing Director for South West Asia at IHG Hotels & Resorts, highlighted the importance of this development, calling it a significant step in IHG’s broader strategy for India. He noted that the partnership with Thanishq Hospitality builds on the success of their previous project, Holiday Inn Express Bengaluru Bommasandra.

Mr. S. Sudeesh, Managing Partner at Thanishq Grande Hotels & Resorts, emphasized the mutual trust between the companies and the potential of the new hotel to meet the expectations of today’s travelers. Mr. R. Sundaram, also a partner at Thanishq, pointed to the strategic location of Electronic City and its relevance for both corporate and leisure guests.

Bengaluru is a major center for technology, education, and innovation in India. It hosts leading institutions such as the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), IIM Bangalore, and key national organizations in aerospace and design. Electronic City, being one of the country’s largest IT parks, underlines the city’s role as a tech-driven metropolis.

IHG currently operates 48 hotels in India under six brands, including InterContinental, Six Senses, Crowne Plaza, voco, Holiday Inn, and Holiday Inn Express. A further 63 hotels are planned for opening in the coming 3 to 5 years.
