The new portfolio includes hotels and resorts in Agra, Rishikesh, Haldwani, Jim Corbett, Gurugram, Nainital, Dehradun, and Jaipur. The Pride Amber Vilas Resort & Convention Centre Jaipur is an exclusive resort hugely popular with domestic and international tourists. It has now been extensively refurbished and set to reopen this month with lavish convention centre and artistic lawns. Pride Suites Gurugram will be the first property under the brand Pride Suites, marking the Pride Group’s foray into premium service apartment space. 

Announcing the development, Pride Hotels Chairman and Managing Director S P Jain said: “We are delighted to expand our footprints in north India, which will enable us to offer memorable hospitality experiences with a more geographically-diverse portfolio. This wave of new openings in the region will further diversify Pride Hotel’s presence across prominent destinations nationally.

Collectively these new openings in north India will add 500 keys to our existing portfolio.”
