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:
