IHG to Expand Bengaluru Portfolio with Dual Hotel Signing

IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement to develop two new hotels in Bengaluru, adding over 420 rooms to its portfolio by early 2028.

IHG Hotels & Resorts has entered into a management agreement with Hotel Chetan International to open two new hotels in Bengaluru, India. The development will include the Crowne Plaza Bengaluru KIADB Aerospace Park and the Holiday Inn Express Bengaluru KIADB Aerospace Park. Both properties are scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2028, collectively adding more than 420 rooms to IHG’s portfolio in the region.

The hotels will be situated in Bengaluru’s KIADB Aerospace Park, a major industrial and aerospace hub. This location, situated near Kempegowda International Airport, is expected to attract demand from aerospace and technology companies, as well as Global Capability Centres and other corporate entities in the area. The proximity to the upcoming BCCI Centre of Excellence and National Cricket Academy, along with nearby residential and commercial developments, is also anticipated to drive demand from social, leisure, and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) segments.

The Crowne Plaza Bengaluru KIADB Aerospace Park will feature 210 rooms and offer four dining options, including an all-day dining restaurant, a specialty restaurant, a lobby lounge, and a pool bar. The hotel will offer extensive meeting spaces across four venues, including a ballroom, as well as retail spaces and parking facilities.

The Holiday Inn Express Bengaluru KIADB Aerospace Park will feature 210 rooms, a fitness center, and parking spaces. The hotel is designed to meet the needs of time-conscious travelers seeking comfortable accommodation with essential amenities.

IHG currently operates 51 hotels across six brands in India, with a pipeline of 72 additional hotels set to open in the next three to five years.
