- Zodiac developing Ramada Encore in Uttarakhand.
- The hotel is expected to open in Q2 2028.
- Property will include dining, meeting facilities.
The hotel will be near Dehradun’s commercial districts and educational institutions, with road links to Haridwar, Rishikesh and Mussoorie. It will have a restaurant, meeting rooms and a fitness center. It will serve business and leisure travelers, families and visitors to Uttarakhand’s pilgrimage, wellness and leisure destinations.
“Dehradun’s position as a gateway to Uttarakhand, combined with its commercial activity and established tourism appeal, makes it an attractive market for our hotel development plans,” said Keshav Soin, Zodiac partner. “Haridwar Bypass Road offers a strategic location from which to serve both visitors to the city and travelers exploring the wider region.”
Rahool Macarius, Wyndham’s market managing director for Eurasia, said Dehradun’s business, education, pilgrimage and leisure demand made it a suitable market for the brand.
“This agreement with Zodiac supports our plan to expand in key Indian markets with the right brand for each destination,” Macarius said.
Ramada Encore surpassed 1,000 operational keys in India, with 17 hotels open nationwide. The brand also has 18 operational hotels across the wider Eurasia region, including Nepal.
Separately, Vrinda Villas Hotels and Resorts will develop a 155-key Wyndham Garden hotel in Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh.
