Gujarat’s hospitality landscape is gaining further momentum as Radisson Hotel Group expands its footprint in the state with two new properties in Sasan Gir and Rajkot. The openings of Radisson Resort & Spa Sasan Gir and Park Inn & Suites by Radisson Rajkot, developed in partnership with NILE Hospitality, extend the partnership’s Gujarat portfolio to five hotels.
The expansion reflects a broader shift in India’s hotel market, where demand is increasingly emerging beyond established metropolitan and gateway destinations. In Gujarat, the contrasting profiles of Sasan Gir and Rajkot offer two distinct growth opportunities — one driven by experiential and wildlife tourism, and the other by business and industrial activity.
Situated near Gir National Park, Radisson Resort & Spa Sasan Gir has been designed around the destination’s growing appeal among leisure and experiential travellers. The 122-room resort combines accommodation with wellness, dining and extensive event facilities, positioning it for family holidays, destination celebrations, weddings and MICE activity.
Meanwhile, Park Inn & Suites by Radisson Rajkot marks the brand’s entry into the city. With 54 rooms and facilities for business meetings and social events, the property is positioned to serve corporate travellers in one of Saurashtra’s important commercial and industrial centres.
For Radisson Hotel Group, the move is part of a strategy to expand into Tier II and Tier III markets where evolving travel patterns are creating demand for internationally recognised hospitality brands.
Taken together, the two openings underline the diversity of Gujarat’s tourism and business economy. As destinations such as Sasan Gir attract travellers seeking nature-led experiences while cities such as Rajkot continue to benefit from commercial growth, the state is emerging as a market where hospitality demand is being shaped by increasingly varied travel needs.
