Storii Akanni Naina Tikkar, an ITC brand, is now open in Sirmaur, Himachal Pradesh, India. The 42-room property near the Churdhar peaks is owned by Alisha Gupta.
The property is in Majhgaon Shamlati, about 90 minutes from Chandigarh Airport, near Naina Devi Temple, Dagshai and Menri Monastery, ITC said in a statement. It offers stays with open-air dining, a spa and outdoor activities.
“Akanni is a dream we have nurtured for four years and it is a joy to finally open its doors,” Gupta said. “The name means ‘a place that brings joy,’ which reflects its essence. Surrounded by landscapes and mountain air, every space blends comfort and tranquility. Akanni is more than a hotel; it is the realisation of a vision to create something special and we are delighted to share it with the world.”
Anil Chadha, ITC’s managing director, said Storii celebrates places with a soul, their beauty, stories, and timeless charm.
“Storii Akanni Naina Tikkar is planned to reflect the mountains and cultural warmth of the region, offering experiences that are personal, sensorial and rooted in the local context,” he said.
ITC recently launched its “Epiq Collection” brand under its asset-right expansion strategy. The brand allows existing properties to join the ITC Hotels network, giving owners and guests access to its distribution platform.
