Cygnett Hotels expands footprint in Uttar Pradesh with new signings in Kanpur and Vrindavan

New Delhi, June, 2025: One of India’s fastest-growing hospitality chains, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts is proud to announce its continued expansion in Uttar Pradesh with the signing of Cozzet Kanpur and Cygnett Inn Vrindavan. These additions represent an important step forward in the company’s ambitious growth strategy and will strengthen its portfolio of smart and value-driven hotels designed for the modern travellers.

As a brownfield project, Cozzet Kanpur is on track to open its doors to guests by the end of this year, bringing a new level of comfort, convenience and cultural flair to the city. On the other hand, Cygnett Inn Vrindavan will welcome guests by early 2027.

“The state of Uttar Pradesh is a key market in our expansion strategy as we work towards building a portfolio of 100 hotels in the coming years. We plan to open 10 to 12 properties across Uttar Pradesh over the next two to three years,” said Mr. Sarbendra Sarkar, Founder & Managing Director, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts.

Cozzet Kanpur will feature 40 well-appointed rooms, blending style and functionality for the modern traveller. The hotel is also set to become a premier destination for events and celebrations with two expansive banquet halls capable of accommodating 8,000 to 10,000 guests, thoughtfully designed with contemporary aesthetics and cutting-edge technology. In terms of its F&B offerings, guests will enjoy a vibrant culinary experience at the hotel’s 60-cover all-day dining restaurant and unwind at the stylish lounge bar.  

Cygnett Inn Vrindavan will feature 60 well-appointed rooms designed for comfort and convenience, making it an ideal choice for both business and leisure travellers. The hotel will offer a range of modern amenities including an 80-cover all-day dining restaurant serving a variety of delicious cuisines, a rooftop swimming pool and a well-equipped gym for health-conscious guests. To cater to the growing demand for event venues in the region, the hotel will also feature spacious banquet halls with a combined capacity of 600-800 guests, well-positioned for weddings, conferences and social gatherings. With the earlier signing of 50 keys Cozzet Vrindavan, this new addition of Cygnett Inn brings Cygnett’s total inventory in the Divine City of Vrindavan to 100 rooms.

Both properties are strategically located with convenient access to key tourist sites. Our expansion in Kanpur and Vrindavan is an extension of our strategy to open properties in both existing and emerging hospitality markets,” added Mr. Sarkar.

Kanpur is recognised as an industrial hub in North India. The city is also home to several key tourist attractions, including the Kanpur Museum and Bhitargaon Temple. Vrindavan, located in the ‘Braj Bhoomi’ region, is deeply revered for its association with Lord Krishna’s childhood.

The group has also established a foothold in Ayodhya, one of Uttar Pradesh's most significant spiritual destinations.

Cygnett Hotels rolls out pioneering “Cozzet Collection” model for budget hotels

Revolutionary hospitality concepts along with cutting-edge and integrated technologies are now being made available to small and medium-sized hotels by Cozzet Hotels, a member of Cygnett Hotels. It is a pathbreaking initiative to organise and improve efficiencies of independent hotels through the “Cozzet Collection” model.

New Delhi, August 2023: In a groundbreaking move that is likely to reshape the Indian hospitality landscape, Cozzet Hotels & Resorts has proudly unveiled its latest venture: the “Cozzet Collection”. Cozzet Hotels & Resorts is affiliated with Cygnett Hotels & Resorts.  The objective is to support small and medium-sized unbranded hotel owners and help them improve their technology, marketing, and business know-how. The economy hotel and resort segment is the fastest-growing sector amidst the broader hospitality sector, however, budget hotels do not have access to the latest technology and business solutions.

The “Cozzet Collection” model is designed to address critical constraints for small and medium-sized hotel owners and help them reap the benefits of cutting-edge hospitality solutions. It is the most cost-effective and hassle-free business solution for hotel owners.

The company has extensively tested the model and three properties in Himachal Pradesh–a region renowned for stunning landscapes and tranquil retreats–are successfully operating under the “Cozzet Collection” umbrella. Considering the efficiencies unlocked by the model, an increasing number of hotels are signing up effortlessly. It is the need of the hour as owners are getting the benefits of the cost-effective technology from the first day. 

“Cozzet Collection” is bringing together small and medium-sized independent hotels and resorts to flourish within the organised hospitality industry. This innovative concept addresses the longstanding need for a platform that enhances budget and small-scale hotels, allowing them to access cutting-edge technology and comprehensive marketing support that were once the exclusive domain of larger chains.

Mr Sarbendra Sarkar, the visionary Founder & Managing Director of Cygnett Hotels and Resorts & Cozzet Hotels, expressed his enthusiasm for the transformative initiative, "There is immense potential in bringing small hotels from the unorganised sector into the organised hospitality business. We aim to have 10,000 rooms operating under the Cozzet Collection model within the next few years. Our expansion under the brand will include standalone small hotels of less than 40 keys across the country.”

Emphasising the pivotal role of technology, Mr. Sarkar highlighted that Cozzet Collection hotels would benefit from advanced integrated cloud PMS, booking engine, distribution technology, and revenue management systems with its user-friendly interface. In addition, owners/managers will receive fundamental training to maximise the effectiveness of these tools. It is an easy-to-operate, plug-and-play model. The 360-degree digital marketing support by the brand helps create an online presence and get optimum benefits.

Unlike many competitors, Cozzet Hotels and Resorts is committed to financial transparency. The company will directly transfer room payments to hotel owners' accounts, a move aimed at bolstering liquidity for small businesses.

Cozzet Hotels has inherited the DNA of Cygnett Hotels, and adopts its trusted technology and knowledge, and its foray into the transformative venture couldn't come at a more crucial time. With the hospitality industry witnessing a surge in demand for organised services, Cozzet Collection not only addresses the needs of small hotels but also enriches the overall guest experience.

As the hospitality industry in India continues to evolve, Cozzet Hotels & Resorts has emerged as a trailblazing force, bridging the gap between the unorganized and organised sectors, and setting new standards for excellence, transparency, and innovation. The Cozzet Collection model and all Cozzet Hotels are poised to redefine hospitality paradigms, offering a fresh perspective to guests and hoteliers alike.
