BWH Hotels Enters Kumaon with New Best Western Property in Almora

BWH Hotels has signed a new Best Western property in Almora, marking its entry into the Kumaon region and expanding the company’s presence in India’s burgeoning hill-station hospitality landscape.

The agreement represents a strategic move into a region with growing appeal among domestic travellers seeking nature-led experiences, cultural exploration and gateway access to the Indian Himalayas.

The new Best Western property in Almora is positioned to serve both leisure and business demand, offering contemporary accommodation and amenities that cater to a wide range of guest needs, including family tourism, adventure travel and corporate stays.

Hospitality leaders note that branded hotel entries into emerging regional destinations reflect shifting travel patterns, where demand is rising beyond traditional metro and beach markets toward scenic and heritage-rich locales.

For BWH Hotels, expanding into the Kumaon region aligns with broader growth plans that leverage partnerships and brand strength to enter under-served, high-potential markets. The Best Western affiliation brings established global distribution and loyalty benefits that can accelerate visibility and bookings.

Almora’s strategic location and appeal as a cultural and natural destination have seen increasing tourism interest, supported by improved infrastructure, road connectivity and rising disposable incomes among India’s traveller base.

The signing also underscores how international and domestic operators are tapping hill-station demand to balance urban supply with scenic destination growth, as travellers seek diverse experiences and extended stays.

As the project moves toward development and operations, leadership will likely focus on positioning the property as a preferred choice for travellers seeking quality, consistency and immersive local experiences in the Kumaon hills.

The new signing reinforces BWH Hotels’ commitment to broadening its footprint across India, adding depth to its portfolio while responding to evolving traveller preferences that embrace nature, culture and regional exploration.
