Hyderabad, October 6, 2025 —
In a strategic move to expand its presence in southern India, Kamat Hotels India Ltd. has announced the official launch of IRA by Orchid Hyderabad, a premium business hotel located in the heart of HiTec City. Designed to meet the evolving needs of corporate travelers, this marks The Orchid Group's first property in South India and a significant milestone in the company’s national expansion strategy.

Modern Comfort in the Heart of Hyderabad’s Business District

Nestled in Hyderabad’s vibrant technology and business hub, IRA by Orchid has been thoughtfully conceptualized to offer both comfort and functionality for business professionals. The hotel features 63 well-appointed rooms across three categories — Deluxe Room, Premium Vibe, and Premium Active — each designed to provide a seamless blend of style, convenience, and productivity.

Whether it's a quick business trip or an extended corporate stay, the hotel’s modern amenities, ergonomic layouts, and efficient service offerings ensure a stress-free experience for today’s mobile professionals.

Dining and Amenities Tailored for Business Travelers

Further enhancing the guest experience, the hotel houses Makeba, a chic multi-cuisine restaurant offering a diverse range of flavors in a relaxed yet sophisticated setting. Designed as a pure business hotel, IRA by Orchid Hyderabad focuses on delivering essentials for corporate travel: streamlined check-ins, in-room workspaces, high-speed connectivity, and reliable service — all while maintaining the signature warmth and hospitality associated with the Orchid brand.

Strategic Vision Behind the Launch

Vishal Kamat, Executive Director of Kamat Hotels India Ltd., shared his insights on the expansion:

“Hyderabad is a thriving hub for business and innovation.
