Oravel Stays plans global expansion with 100 new SUNDAY Hotels in FY26

Oravel Stays, the parent company of OYO Hotels and Homes, is planning to expand its premium brand SUNDAY Hotels in the financial year 2025-2026 (FY26) by opening 100 hotels globally, the company said in its release. 

 

The company did not disclose the financial details of the expansion plan. 

 

“The initiative is a part of Oravel’s ongoing programme to spread its premium hotel footprint around the globe,” it said.

 

“The global expansion of SUNDAY Hotels was kickstarted in August 2024 with the launch of SUNDAY Holiday International Hotel in Dubai followed by SUNDAY Lansbury Heritage Hotel in the United Kingdom,” the statement added.

 

Currently, there are 30 SUNDAY hotels, with Sunday Luxury Downtown Al Qudaybiyah in Manama, Bahrain being one of the recent additions to the brand’s portfolio, it said.

 

SUNDAY Hotels, launched in May 2023 through a joint venture between Softbank Group and Oravel Stays, is present across 10 countries, including India, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, and Vietnam. 

 

According to the company’s statement, the rapid expansion of SUNDAY Hotels across key markets has been driven by strong consumer demand and partnerships. In India, Oravel Stays operates 13 SUNDAY Hotels.

 

“The brand made its debut 15 months ago in India in Jaipur followed by expansions into key business and leisure hubs such as Vadodara, Chandigarh, and Gurugram,” the company stated.
