Royal Orchid Hotels to Open Regenta Resort at the Statue of Unity

On May 21, 2024, Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd (ROHL) announced via an exchange filing the signing of ‘Regenta Resort,’ a luxury 5-star retreat near the world’s tallest statue, the Statue of Unity, in Kevadia, Gujarat. This will be the 15th ROHL-branded hotel in Gujarat. Strategically situated close to this globally recognised tourist attraction, Regenta Resort aims to elevate offerings to the growing tourism market in the state.

The company stated that Regenta Resort will be the first luxury hotel to operate near the Statue of Unity. The resort will have 49 exceptionally established rooms, pool suites, pool villas and several F&B options. The hotel will also include leisure facilities, such as a swimming pool, gymnasium, wellness centre, lawns with landscaped gardens, etc.

There are many tourist spots in and around the property that are now being put on the tourist map. Its proximity to famous tourist attractions like the Butterfly and Cactus Garden, Arogya Van, Valley of Flowers, etc., will provide guests with a lot of activities in and around the property.

The tallest statue in the world, the Statue of Unity (SOU), is in memory of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, an exemplary figure and the country’s first Deputy Prime Minister, who played a pivotal role in India’s independence movement. Introduced in 2018, the statue significantly elevates Gujarat to the international tourist circuit and bolsters the region’s economy and tourism.

The signing of this new property is part of Royal Orchid Hotels’ rapid expansion plans in Gujarat. Last month, the hospitality chain began operating the state’s largest all-suite hotel in Surat and has several new hotels in the pipeline in Gujarat. Regenta Resort at the Statue of Unity is set to welcome guests in the coming months.

Sharing his thoughts about the signing, the Chairman and Managing Director of ROHL, Chander K Baljee, said, “The opening of the Statue of Unity has created unique tourism opportunities for Gujarat’s vibrant economy. We are delighted to announce Regenta Resort at Statue of Unity, consistent with our ambition of growing our company in every location around the country by offering guests quality hospitality experiences in locations that didn’t exist until a few years ago.”
