Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of The Earth Amritsar, Trademark Collection by Wyndham, its first for the brand in India. The 57-room heritage hotel operates in collaboration with Earth Suites & Resorts Private Limited, a hotel operator with properties currently in Amritsar, Goa and Raipur.
Located in the heart of Amritsar, the northwestern Indian state of Punjab and home to the famed Golden Temple, the holiest destination of the Sikh religion, the sprawling five-acre upscale The Earth Amritsar offer a selection of rooms in two unique buildings. Accommodations are spread across the hotel’s 130-year-old heritage building, once home to the Victoria Jubilee Hospital, built to commemorate the 55th year of Queen Victoria’s reign, and even more accommodations will be available in a new build addition, currently under construction. The hotel will provide the perfect getaway for those looking to stay and explore this culturally rich destination.
India continues to be an important market for Wyndham as the company currently has more than 60 hotels across the country and approximately 40 additional hotels in the pipeline, highlighting continued demand and growth in this region.
