The hotel will form part of Ingka Centres' Meeting Places concept, which creates modern retail-led destinations blending shopping, leisure and community-focused experiences while supporting local businesses and workspaces. SAMHI indicated that the location within a high-quality mixed-use ecosystem is expected to provide strong captive demand and high visibility for the hotel. The arrangement is intended to integrate hospitality with the broader retail and leisure offering.

The partners described the collaboration as combining SAMHI's institutional operating platform with Ingka Centres' global development expertise, reinforcing SAMHI's strategy of partnering with leading institutional organisations. The project will be executed under a long-term variable lease model intended to preserve capital efficiency, with Ingka leasing the building shell and high-side engineering and SAMHI investing in interior fit-outs. The hotel will be managed under an international brand to be determined.

The development expands SAMHI's presence in the Delhi NCR region, where the company already owns Hyatt Place Gurgaon, Holiday Inn Express Gurgaon and Holiday Inn Express Greater Noida. SAMHI reported that it operates a portfolio of 31 hotels comprising 4,904 rooms across 13 cities in India. The company said the deal aligns with its capital-light growth approach and institutional ownership model.
