Cygnett Hotels & Resorts has reinforced its commitment to Ayodhya with the signing of its second property in the rapidly growing pilgrim destination, further expanding its footprint in one of India’s most spiritually significant cities.
Marking an important milestone for the brand, the upcoming Cozzet Ayodhya will position itself as a smart, safe, and value-driven hospitality offering designed to cater to both leisure and business travellers. The hotel is planned with 70 well-appointed rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, and a range of modern amenities aimed at ensuring comfort and convenience for guests. A major highlight of the property will be its expansive 8,000 sq. ft. banquet facility complemented by an adjoining lawn, making it suitable for weddings, social events, and large gatherings.
The hotel will also feature a fully equipped fitness centre, dedicated conference spaces, and technology-driven solutions tailored for corporate travellers. Strategically located along the Gorakhpur–Lucknow Highway, the property enjoys strong connectivity, situated approximately five kilometres from Maharishi Valmiki International Airport and just 1.5 kilometres from the Ram Mandir. Select rooms are expected to offer views of the revered temple area, further enhancing its appeal among pilgrims and visitors.
Ayodhya has seen a notable surge in visitor arrivals following major infrastructure developments, improved road networks, and the recent operational launch of the city’s airport. These advancements have significantly elevated Ayodhya’s status as a major religious and cultural tourism hub, driving consistent demand for quality accommodation across the economy and mid-scale segments.
Speaking on the occasion, Sarbendra Sarkar, Founder and Managing Director of Cygnett Hotels & Resorts, highlighted that Ayodhya represents a destination where organised economy hospitality holds strong long-term potential. He emphasised that the new property will focus on delivering dependable service standards, efficient design, and value-driven offerings for guests visiting the city for religious purposes, family functions, and short leisure trips. The signing aligns with the company’s broader strategy to expand across high-growth pilgrimage centres and tier-2 markets where demand visibility remains strong.
Cozzet Hotels, known for its affordability-focused approach, aims to blend comfort, functionality, and personalised service while maintaining consistent quality standards. The brand also integrates local cultural elements into its properties, creating a hospitality experience that resonates with domestic travellers.
Industry estimates indicate that economy hotels contribute nearly one-third of India’s overall room inventory, with the segment playing a vital role in supporting domestic travel, weddings, and regional tourism growth. The economy hotel market in India is currently valued at approximately USD 6 billion, reflecting sustained demand driven by improved connectivity and increasing travel aspirations.
With the signing of Cozzet Ayodhya, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts continues to strengthen its asset-light expansion strategy, focusing on high-potential destinations that promise scalable growth opportunities.
