Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd. (ROHL) has announced the signing of a new 65-room resort in Ambala, Haryana, as part of its strategy to expand into emerging hospitality markets across India. Developed in collaboration with Mr Lovepreet Singh, the resort will operate under a management agreement, reinforcing ROHL’s asset-light model and focus on scaling high-quality guest experiences without owning real estate.

Located near the Punjab–Haryana border, the upcoming resort spans 6 acres with a built-up area of 105,000 sq. ft. It will cater to both business and leisure travellers, offering well-appointed deluxe, club, and suite rooms, along with a multi-cuisine restaurant, vibrant bar, spa and salon, gymnasium, and swimming pool.

The venue is also equipped to host large-scale events, featuring four banquet halls (ranging from 3,200 to 8,000 sq. ft.), a dedicated conference zone, and a 25,000 sq. ft. open lawn with tenting capabilities. These facilities make it suitable for destination weddings, corporate offsites, social celebrations, and industry conventions.

Commenting on the expansion, Chander K Baljee, Chairman & Managing Director, ROHL, said:

"Ambala is steadily growing as a travel and business destination. We’re pleased to add it to our network. At Royal Orchid Hotels, we aim to create quality stays in cities still developing on the hospitality map.
