Cygnett Hotels & Resorts, one of India’s fastest-growing hospitality chains, has announced its strategic expansion in Uttar Pradesh with the signing of two new properties—Cozzet Kanpur and Cygnett Inn Vrindavan. These additions mark a significant milestone in the group’s ambitious growth plan to establish a strong presence across India’s key and emerging hospitality markets.
As part of a brownfield project, Cozzet Kanpur is expected to launch by the end of 2025, bringing a fresh blend of style, functionality, and local flair to the industrial heart of Uttar Pradesh. This 40-room property is designed for the modern traveller and includes two large banquet halls with a staggering capacity to host between 8,000 to 10,000 guests—making it a premier destination for weddings and large-scale events in the region. The hotel will also feature a 60-cover all-day dining restaurant and a chic lounge bar, ensuring a vibrant culinary experience for guests.
Meanwhile, Cygnett Inn Vrindavan is scheduled to open by early 2027. This full-service midscale hotel will offer 60 tastefully designed rooms, tailored for both business and leisure travellers. The property will house an 80-cover restaurant serving multi-cuisine delights, a rooftop swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, and spacious banquet halls with a combined capacity of 600–800 guests, perfect for weddings, conferences, and social gatherings. With the earlier signing of Cozzet Vrindavan (50 rooms), the total Cygnett inventory in the holy city of Vrindavan will now reach 100 rooms.
“Uttar Pradesh continues to be a key market in our growth strategy,” said Mr. Sarbendra Sarkar, Founder and Managing Director of Cygnett Hotels & Resorts. “We aim to open 10 to 12 properties in the state over the next two to three years as we work toward our goal of a 100-hotel portfolio.”
Both Kanpur and Vrindavan properties are strategically located near major tourist and cultural landmarks. Kanpur, known for its industrial prominence, also attracts visitors with sites like the Kanpur Museum and the historic Bhitargaon Temple. Vrindavan, steeped in spiritual significance and part of the revered Braj Bhoomi region, draws millions of devotees every year due to its association with Lord Krishna.
Cygnett’s expansion in Uttar Pradesh also includes a presence in Ayodhya, a city of immense religious importance. These moves align with the company’s broader vision of tapping into both established and emerging destinations, offering a blend of modern comfort and cultural richness.
Cozzet, the brand under which the Kanpur hotel will operate, focuses on offering smart, safe, and value-driven hospitality tailored to today’s savvy travellers. With its culturally immersive experience and signature “Cygnetture” service, Cozzet aims to provide meaningful and memorable stays. On the other hand, Cygnett Inn represents the brand’s midscale offering, blending contemporary design with warm service, cleanliness, and comfort—ensuring a consistently high-quality guest experience.
