New Delhi, July 2026: OPO Hotels & Resorts, one of India's rapidly expanding hospitality management companies, has announced the launch of Rahitya, its premium subsidiary brand created for the midscale and upper-midscale hospitality segment. Making its debut in the spiritual city of Ayodhya, the brand's first property—Rahitya Premier Anant, Ayodhya—marks a significant milestone in the company's national expansion strategy.

Developed under a Management Agreement signed on 24 June 2026, Rahitya Premier Anant represents OPO Hotels & Resorts' strategic entry into Uttar Pradesh, one of India's fastest-growing hospitality markets driven by religious tourism, infrastructure development, and rising leisure and business travel. Located at Anant Palace, Chandpur Harbans, Prayagraj Road, Ayodhya – 224133, Uttar Pradesh, the property has been thoughtfully designed to offer an elevated hospitality experience that blends contemporary comfort with the warmth and cultural essence of one of India's most revered destinations.

Strategically located just 1 km from Maharishi Valmiki International Airport, Ayodhya, Rahitya Premier Anant is among the city's most conveniently located premium hotels for arriving travellers, offering seamless accessibility for domestic and international visitors. The property's prime location enables guests to conveniently explore Ayodhya's key spiritual landmarks while enjoying excellent connectivity to the city's expanding transport infrastructure.

The hotel will commence operations in the second week of July 2026 and will feature 50 well-appointed guest rooms, with plans to expand the inventory to 150 rooms in the next phase. Guests will also have access to a 70-cover all-day dining restaurant, a 150-guest banquet hall, and a 300-guest landscaped lawn, while a gymnasium, spa, and kids' zone are scheduled to open shortly.

The launch of Rahitya comes at a time when Ayodhya is witnessing unprecedented growth as a global spiritual and tourism destination. Significant investments in infrastructure, enhanced air, rail, and road connectivity, and a steady rise in domestic and international pilgrim arrivals have transformed the city into one of India's most promising hospitality markets. This evolution has created strong demand for quality accommodation that combines modern amenities with authentic Indian hospitality.

Rahitya Premier Anant has been positioned to meet this growing demand by offering premium experiences tailored for pilgrims, leisure travellers, destination weddings, family vacations, corporate guests, and group travellers alike. The property reflects Rahitya's core philosophy of delivering refined hospitality, personalised service, and memorable guest experiences while remaining rooted in local culture.

OPO Hotels Announces the Opening of OPO Horizon Surbhi Grant in Khatu Shyam Ji, Rajasthan

OPO Hotels has announced the addition of OPO Horizon Surbhi Grant, a newly built and fully operational hotel in Khatu Shyam Ji, Rajasthan, further strengthening the brand’s growing presence across high-potential destinations in the country. The hotel is located at Ward No. 20, Manda Road, Khatushyam Ji, District Sikar (Rajasthan) – 332602, and is operated under the management model, with the deal finalised on 15th January 2026.

With 40 well-appointed rooms, a 40-cover café, and a 120-cover highway restaurant, OPO Horizon Surbhi Grant has been thoughtfully designed to cater to both pilgrims and corporate travellers visiting the region. The property is already operational and welcoming guests, offering a comfortable and reliable stay experience in one of Rajasthan’s most spiritually significant locations.

Khatu Shyam Ji is among India’s most visited pilgrimage destinations, drawing millions of devotees each year to the revered Khatu Shyam Ji Temple. The temple is especially known for its unique rituals and the annual Phalgun Mela, during which the town witnesses an extraordinary surge in footfall. OPO Horizon Surbhi Grant’s strategic location near the temple makes it a natural choice for pilgrims seeking proximity, convenience, and restful accommodation during their visit.

Being a newly built property, the hotel reflects OPO’s focus on clean design, modern amenities, and efficient layouts that support short stays as well as extended visits. The inclusion of both a café and a large highway restaurant allows the hotel to serve temple visitors, families, tour groups, and passing travellers with ease, while also supporting corporate movement in and around the region.

Speaking on the opening, Sandeep Basu, Chief Executive Officer, OPO Hotels & Resorts, said, "Khatu Shyam Ji holds deep emotional and spiritual significance for millions of devotees across the country. With OPO Horizon Surbhi Grant, our intent is to offer a stay experience that feels respectful, comfortable, and dependable during what is often a deeply personal journey for our guests. This property reflects our belief that hospitality near pilgrimage destinations should focus on ease, cleanliness, and thoughtful service. As OPO expands, we are consciously building hotels in locations where demand is real and year-round, and where a well-run, quality hotel can genuinely add value to the traveller’s experience."

The addition of OPO Horizon Surbhi Grant marks an important step in OPO Hotels’ Rajasthan expansion strategy. As pilgrimage and religious tourism continues to grow steadily, the brand is focusing on destinations that see consistent footfall beyond seasonal travel. Khatu Shyam Ji represents such a market, with strong year-round demand driven by faith-based travel and regional connectivity.

With this opening, OPO Hotels strengthens its emphasis on expanding across culturally and economically significant locations while maintaining its focus on quality mid-scale hospitality. The new property at Khatu Shyam ji stands as another example of the brand’s approach to thoughtful growth where location, purpose, and guest needs come together to create stays that are simple, comfortable, and meaningful.
