Wyndham Garden Khajuraho signed by Wyndham Hotels & Resorts to expand midscale portfolio in Madhya Pradesh

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has signed a Wyndham Garden hotel in Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh, in March 2026, the company said, expanding its midscale portfolio in a key heritage tourism destination known for its UNESCO-listed temple complex and growing domestic visitor demand.

Project signing and location

The hotel will be developed in Khajuraho, a major tourism hub in central India, with the property expected to strengthen branded accommodation options in the region. The company confirmed that the project has been signed under a partnership with a local developer, although financial details were not disclosed.

The location has been selected to cater to both domestic and international travellers visiting the temple complex, which attracts steady footfall throughout the year, particularly during peak tourism seasons and cultural events.

Brand expansion in India

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts said the signing aligns with its strategy to expand its footprint in India through franchise and management agreements. The Wyndham Garden brand operates in the midscale segment, targeting leisure and business travellers in secondary and emerging markets.

The company has been increasing its presence in tier-two and tier-three cities, where demand for organised hotel accommodation is rising alongside improvements in infrastructure and connectivity.

Development scope and facilities

The planned hotel is expected to include guest rooms, dining facilities and meeting spaces, although the final room count and design specifications have not been publicly disclosed. Officials said the property will be designed to accommodate group travel and tourism-driven demand.

The developer will oversee construction and asset ownership, while Wyndham will provide brand standards, operational systems and access to its global reservation platform.

Tourism demand and regional context

Khajuraho remains a key destination in Madhya Pradesh’s tourism circuit, drawing visitors for its heritage sites and cultural significance. Industry participants said the addition of branded hotels is expected to support organised tourism and improve accommodation standards in the area.

Improved air connectivity and infrastructure development have contributed to increased visitor arrivals in recent years, supporting demand for new hotel projects.

Current status

The Wyndham Garden Khajuraho project has been formally signed and is currently in the planning and pre-development phase as of March 2026, with timelines for construction and opening expected to be announced following regulatory approvals and project finalisation.
