RAJKOT, May 21, 2026: NILE Hospitality and Radisson Hotel Group have announced the upcoming opening of Park Inn & Suites by Radisson Rajkot, a 55-room property that will become the city's first internationally branded hotel. The project is being promoted by Devdwarika LLP and adds another chapter to what is already a seven-property working relationship between NILE Hospitality and Radisson Hotel Group across India.
Rajkot is a city that has been punching above its weight economically for years, manufacturing, jewellery, engineering goods, yet it has somehow gone without a single internationally branded hotel to its name until now. That changes with this signing, and the timing says something about where the group sees real demand building in India right now.
Rajkot Gets Its First Internationally Branded Hotel Through Radisson and NILE Hospitality
Vikram Singh Chauhan, Founder and CEO of NILE Hospitality, spoke directly to what this moment means for the city and for the broader strategy behind it.
"The hospitality landscape in Rajkot continues to undergo significance in line with the long-term development of its diverse economy and potential. Introducing Rajkot's first international branded hotel, along with NILE's long-established presence in Gujarat and Radisson's world-class distribution network, will put us in a great position to contribute to the ongoing growth and diversification of the city's hospitality sector. With Devdwarika LLP as promoters, Park Inn & Suites by Radisson Rajkot reinforces our commitment to offering premium accommodation for leisure and business travellers who are seeking an elevated experience, while enjoying all the familiar comforts of an international brand."
— Vikram Singh Chauhan, Founder & CEO, NILE Hospitality
NILE's existing footprint in Gujarat gives the group a real edge here. This is not a brand parachuting into an unfamiliar market, it is a company with established operator relationships and local knowledge backing a signing it clearly believes in.
The Hotel Will Have 55 Rooms, Banquet Facilities and an Exclusively Vegetarian Menu
Park Inn & Suites by Radisson Rajkot will open with 55 contemporary rooms and an all-day dining restaurant. The banquet facilities will cover approximately 2,500 sq. ft., built to handle corporate events and social functions comfortably.
What makes this property stand out beyond the international branding is its decision to operate as an exclusively vegetarian hotel. That is not a concession to local preference, it is a deliberate positioning call. Rajkot's population skews heavily vegetarian, and aligning the hotel's food and beverage offering with that reality makes practical sense from the ground up.
This Is the Seventh NILE–Radisson Property and the First of Many Park Inn & Suites
The Rajkot signing is the seventh operational collaboration between Radisson Hotel Group and NILE Hospitality, a number that speaks to how well the partnership has held up over time. But this deal carries additional significance because Park Inn & Suites by Radisson Rajkot is positioned as the first of what the two organisations plan to be several Park Inn & Suites properties developed together across emerging and high-growth Indian markets.
In that sense, this is not just a single hotel signing. It is the opening move in a more deliberate rollout of the Park Inn & Suites brand across cities that have historically been underserved by international hotel groups, places where the demand is there, the land costs make sense and a recognised global brand can still make a genuine difference to what a guest is willing to pay and how far in advance they are willing to book.
Rajkot's Commercial Growth Makes It a Logical First Target
Rajkot sits at the heart of Saurashtra's economic activity. Its engineering clusters, ceramic industry, petroleum equipment manufacturing base and strong small-to-mid enterprise ecosystem generate consistent inbound travel from buyers, suppliers and business visitors, exactly the traveller profile that a Park Inn & Suites property is built to serve.
The city's lack of internationally branded accommodation has not stopped that demand from existing. It has simply meant that demand has been absorbed by unbranded or regionally managed properties. With NILE Hospitality now putting a recognised global name on the map in Rajkot, that dynamic shifts, and it opens the door for other international brands to follow.
