“Kalimpong represents a compelling opportunity as an underpenetrated leisure market with strong long-term potential. Being the first internationally branded hotel in the destination reflects our consistent first-mover strategy of entering emerging markets early and shaping their hospitality landscape with trusted global brands. It will further strengthen our footprint in Eastern India while reinforcing our commitment to bringing globally recognised hospitality brands to new tourism markets across the country,” said Nikhil Sharma, Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group.

The hill station is emerging as a premium leisure destination, attracting weekend travelers, holidaymakers, and those seeking experiential and nature-led tourism. Its proximity to established regional tourism circuits further enhances its appeal.

“Radisson Resort Kalimpong affirms successful implementation of our strategy to establish Radisson Hotel Group as a leading hospitality chain in Eastern and North Eastern states of India. This resort, at an advanced stage of construction, is a strong opportunity to establish a premium branded resort in a destination with exceptional natural appeal and limited branded competition. The elevated site, combined with comprehensive MICE and wellness facilities, enables us to create a well-rounded resort product that can cater to leisure travelers, weddings, and corporate off-sites. We see strong long-term value in this market and look forward to developing a landmark property that blends international standards with the distinctive character of the Eastern Himalayas,” said Davashish Srivastava, Senior Director, Development, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group.

The upcoming resort will feature 100 guest rooms, comprising 90 standard rooms and 10 suites, ensuring comfort and luxury for all guests. Culinary offerings include an all-day dining restaurant and a tea lounge. The property is also equipped with versatile meeting and event facilities, including a banquet hall, conference room, business lounge, and multiple meeting rooms, making it suitable for corporate retreats, social gatherings, and destination weddings.

Guests will enjoy a comprehensive wellness and leisure experience with amenities like a spa, fitness center, and infinity swimming pool, blending relaxation, fitness, and business needs.

“This partnership with Radisson Hotel Group marks an important milestone for our project in Kalimpong. The destination has long been admired for its natural beauty but has lacked a globally branded hospitality offering. By collaborating with an internationally recognized brand, we aim to create a resort that will elevate the tourism landscape of Kalimpong while offering world-class service and facilities to travellers. We are confident that Radisson Resort Kalimpong will emerge as a preferred destination for leisure stays, weddings, and corporate retreats, and we look forward to a long and successful association with the Group,” said Rohit Gupta, Director, Gajbadan Tradewing Private Limited.
