Chalet Hotels Limited (CHL) has unveiled its new premium lifestyle hospitality brand, ATHIVA Hotels & Resorts, debuting with more than 900 keys across six properties. The name “ATHIVA,” derived from Sanskrit meaning “abundance” and “to a great extent,” reflects the brand’s focus on joy, wellness, and sustainability, offering guests both the comfort of the expected and the thrill of the unexpected.
The brand’s first property is the ATHIVA Resort & Spa, Khandala, a transformation of the iconic Dukes Retreat. With 147 rooms, including 11 luxurious suites, the resort blends refined luxury with authentic local experiences and responsible practices, creating a sanctuary for premium living.
In addition to Khandala, Chalet Hotels plans to transition five more properties to ATHIVA. These include a renovated business hotel in Navi Mumbai, The Resort at Aksa Beach, a K Raheja Corp Group Hotel, and three new greenfield projects—two in Goa and one in Thiruvananthapuram.
With over 900 keys at launch and plans to double its capacity in three years, ATHIVA is set to redefine lifestyle hospitality in India. By combining Chalet Hotels’ brand strength with an experience-first approach, the brand aims to create a bold new vision for the future of travel.
