AS Hotels signs Wyndham Garden Khajuraho Airport Road project with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts in India

AS Hotels has signed an agreement with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts to develop a Wyndham Garden hotel on Airport Road in Khajuraho, India, the companies said in March 2026, marking a new hospitality project aimed at supporting tourism demand in the heritage destination known for its UNESCO-listed temples.

The proposed hotel will be located near Khajuraho Airport, positioning the property to cater to both domestic and international travelers visiting the region. The development is expected to enhance accommodation capacity in the area, which experiences seasonal tourist inflows.

Project agreement and partners

AS Hotels confirmed that it will develop the property under a franchise agreement with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. The hotel will operate under the Wyndham Garden brand, which targets midscale and upper-midscale segments.

Company representatives said the agreement forms part of Wyndham’s continued expansion strategy in India, where it is increasing its footprint through partnerships with local developers. AS Hotels will oversee the project’s development and ownership, while Wyndham will provide branding and operational support.

The signing was formalised in March 2026, with both parties confirming their commitment to the project.

Location and development details

The hotel is planned along Airport Road, a key access route connecting Khajuraho Airport to the city’s main tourist and commercial zones. Officials said the location was selected to ensure accessibility for arriving passengers and tour groups.

The property is expected to include guest rooms, dining facilities and meeting spaces, although specific room counts and investment figures were not disclosed at the time of announcement.

Developers said the project will be designed to accommodate group travel, leisure visitors and event-based demand linked to tourism in the region.

Tourism and market context

Khajuraho is a major tourism destination in Madhya Pradesh, attracting visitors to its historic temple complexes. The area has seen consistent demand for hotel accommodation during peak travel seasons and cultural events.

Industry participants said the addition of branded hotel inventory is intended to support organised tourism and improve service standardisation in the region. Airport connectivity has been identified as a key factor in driving visitor arrivals.

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts said India remains a priority market, with growth focused on both metropolitan and secondary destinations.

Development timeline and operations

AS Hotels said project timelines will depend on regulatory approvals, construction schedules and final design planning. The company indicated that development work will proceed in phases following completion of required clearances.

Wyndham will integrate the property into its global reservation and loyalty systems once operational, according to company officials.

Both companies said further updates on construction progress and opening timelines will be announced as the project advances.

Current status

The hotel project has been formally signed and is currently in the planning and pre-development stage, with site-level activities and approvals expected to follow. No opening date has been confirmed as of March 2026.
