Accor has announced the signing of Fairmont Rishikesh, Himalayas, marking another milestone in the Group’s continued expansion of its luxury hospitality portfolio in India. Set to open in 2031 in the tranquil Shivpuri Range of Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, the upcoming resort will bring Fairmont’s renowned service, destination-led experiences, and distinctive approach to luxury hospitality to one of India’s most revered wellness and spiritual destinations.

Fairmont Rishikesh, Himalayas will span across approximately 16 acres of pristine landscape, featuring 220 guestrooms, four dining venues, 3,000 square meters of event space, a spa, fitness center, swimming pool, kids’ club, and a range of thoughtfully curated guest experiences.

The expansion coincides with the ongoing increase in demand for luxury hospitality experiences in the Shivpuri-Rishikesh region. The location offers a great chance to provide world-class hospitality while meeting the growing demand for immersive, nature-led, and experience tourism, and fill the gap of branded luxury resorts in the region.

Commenting on the signing, Ranju Alex, CEO, Accor, South Asia said, "Another significant turning point in the strategic growth of the Fairmont brand in India is the signing of Fairmont Rishikesh, Himalayas. One of the most alluring luxury travel locations in the nation is Rishikesh, where spirituality, wellness, and immersive travel come together. This initiative demonstrates our dedication to providing outstanding hospitality to locations that provide genuine and significant experiences while bolstering our premium portfolio throughout the area.”

The project also marks a significant milestone for the Javi Group as it continues to diversify its business interests through the development of a dedicated hospitality vertical. Vibhor Jain, Director, Javi Home Pvt. Ltd. said, “We are thrilled to partner with Accor to introduce the Fairmont brand to Rishikesh. The location has enormous long-term potential, and we think Fairmont’s tradition of providing opulent hospitality is a wonderful fit with the area's natural beauty, spiritual past, and increasing attractiveness to discerning tourists. Together, we hope to establish a historic location that would raise the bar for opulent hospitality in Uttarakhand".
