Hospitality major Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) on Thursday announced the signing of a management contract with Skipping Stones for a 50-room Vivanta hotel in Gangtok, Sikkim, according to an official release.
With this, the group will have its second property in the state.
Taj Guras Kutir, Gangtok, was the first hotel in Sikkim signed by IHCL, which is currently under development.
"Sikkim is very famous for its ecotourism trekking, mountaineering, river rafting and other nature oriented offerings. The signing of IHCL's second hotel in Gangtok demonstrates our commitment to the region, taking our tally to 11 hotels across our brandscape," IHCL Executive Vice President - Real Estate and Development Suma Venkatesh said.
The hotel, spread over 3.5 acres, is located at Gangtok's neighbouring town Pakyong and is a short drive from the new airport.
