Devbhoomi Uttarakhand, known for its spiritual serenity and natural beauty, today witnessed the grand launch of ECKO Hotels & Resorts, a new-age hospitality brand with a unique blend of Indian warmth and global standards. Debuting with a 100-key portfolio, the brand opened three properties—ECKO Antarman Ganges in Haridwar, ECKO Rishikesh, and ECKO Tapovan by the Ganges—marking its entry into India’s hospitality landscape.
The brand name ECKO, inspired by the Greek word “Echo”, symbolizes a promise to resonate with discerning guests through excellent hospitality delivered in relaxed, thoughtfully curated environments.
Rooted in the philosophy of Individuality, Community, Sustainability, and Technology, ECKO strives to create spaces that celebrate personal expression and local culture. The hotels focus on immersive experiences, connecting travelers with artisans, artists, and hidden destinations. ECKO also emphasizes responsible tourism, supporting local communities while reducing its ecological footprint. Leveraging technology, it ensures seamless guest experiences and operational efficiency.
With a strong focus on quality, comfort, and service excellence, ECKO offers minimalist yet premium hospitality tailored to business, spiritual, and leisure travelers. The brand also plans to cater extensively to MICE, destination weddings, and spiritual tourism through curated offerings and customized packages.
Each of the three properties reflects ECKO’s ethos. ECKO Antarman Ganges in Haridwar sits serenely on the banks of the Ganges, overlooking the Shivalik hills. It features classic design elements paired with modern comforts and boasts one of the city’s largest private ghats. ECKO Tapovan by the Ganges offers a vibrant riverside experience with upscale rooms, a 24×7 bakery and pizzeria, rooftop pool, spa, and all-day dining. Meanwhile, ECKO Rishikesh, located in the city center, is designed for corporate offsites, social gatherings, and contemporary weddings with its state-of-the-art banquets and meeting spaces.
Speaking at the launch, Perkin Rocha, Founder & CEO, said, “We are thrilled to start our journey from Uttarakhand—a land that offers spirituality, wellness, and adventure. Our properties in Haridwar, Rishikesh, and Tapovan are designed to offer guests meaningful, memorable experiences.”
ECKO Hotels & Resorts is actively expanding, with upcoming properties planned in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Tirupati, Ranikhet, Vrindavan, Amritsar, and Shirdi. The brand also aims to explore international opportunities across Southeast Asia.
