Lemon Tree Hotels Limited, India’s largest mid-priced hotel chain, has announced the signing of a new property, Lemon Tree Hotel, Ahilyanagar, in Maharashtra. This development marks an important milestone for the company, bringing its total portfolio in the state to 30 properties, which includes 15 operational hotels and 15 in the pipeline. The hotel will be managed by Carnation Hotels Private Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lemon Tree Hotels Limited.
The expansion into Ahilyanagar highlights Lemon Tree Hotels’ commitment to Maharashtra as a key area for growth. Ahilyanagar is recognised for its dual identity as a hub for corporate and defence-related travel, as well as a transit gateway within Maharashtra. The new hotel will cater to both business professionals and travellers heading to pilgrimage destinations like Shirdi and Shani Shingnapur.
The upcoming property will feature 95 well-appointed rooms, a restaurant, banquet hall, meeting room, and other recreational amenities including a swimming pool, spa, and fitness centre. The hotel is strategically located approximately 8 km from Ahilyanagar Railway Station and 119 km from Pune International Airport, offering convenient access for travellers.
Mr. Vishvapreet Cheema, President of Lemon Tree Hotels Ltd., commented on the signing, stating, “Reaching the 30-property milestone in Maharashtra is a significant achievement for us. Ahilyanagar represents exactly the kind of high-potential regional hub where we see long-term value, a city that bridges the gap between industrial growth and the state’s massive spiritual tourism circuit. Our goal is to bring a new standard of branded hospitality to this route, ensuring a seamless and refreshingly different experience for every guest.”
Lemon Tree Hotels continues to expand its portfolio, aligning with evolving travel patterns across business and emerging destinations in India. The company operates over 130 hotels across more than 80 cities in India and abroad, with a growing pipeline of 130+ upcoming properties.
