Bhubaneswar is soon to get a brand new Sarovar Portico hotel. This comes after a strategic brand partnership between Arundhati Jewellers Pvt. Ltd. and Sarovar Hotels facilitated by SeaHorse Hospitality Consulting, a leading hospitality advisory firm in India. Bhubaneswar will have a 60-room Sarovar Portico set to open in 2025, which will be a significant addition to the city's hospitality scene, offering a range of premium amenities for both business and leisure travellers.
As one of India's premier hospitality consulting firms, SeaHorse Hospitality Consulting played an instrumental role in connecting Arundhati Jewellers Pvt. Ltd. with Sarovar Hotels. The partnership aims to create a hotel property that reflects the excellence of the Sarovar Portico brand while meeting the growing demand for quality accommodations in Bhubaneswar, a city known for its rich history and cultural significance.
The new Sarovar Portico will feature 60 well-appointed rooms alongside state-of-the-art facilities, including two banquet halls, a conference hall, and a 2,270 sq. ft. all-day dining area. Guests will also enjoy a poolside restaurant, an open-air barbecue grill and bar, and a variety of recreational spaces such as a swimming pool, gym, and spa. The hotel's diverse offerings will cater to both corporate travellers and tourists, ensuring a high standard of service and comfort.
This partnership also highlights the growing trend of brand hotel collaborations in India. With the hospitality industry poised to grow by 13 per cent in the next three years, the Bhubaneswar Sarovar Portico is positioned to thrive in both the leisure and business segments.
