Once again joining the IHG portfolio, the 216-key hotel will introduce world-class hospitality to a prime location in the capital’s most vibrant business district
IHG® Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s leading hotel companies, has announced the signing of a management agreement with Eros Group (Nehru Place Hotels Pvt Ltd) to open InterContinental Eros New Delhi Nehru Place. Slated to open under the InterContinental brand post renovation, which is expected to be completed in 2029, the new addition is in line with IHG’s strategy to expand its luxury and lifestyle portfolio across key locations in India.
InterContinental Hotels & Resorts is the world’s first and largest international luxury hotel brand, synonymous with bold exploration, cultural discovery, and the worldliness that travel brings. With over 237 open hotels globally and more than 102 properties in the pipeline, the brand has spent decades pioneering new destinations—from historic landmarks to immersive resorts—each serving as an indelible beacon of hospitality that connects guests to culture at every turn.
In India, InterContinental continues to build remarkable momentum, expanding across key metros while also answering rising demand for leisure resort experiences with recent signings in coveted resort destinations, including Kasauli and Kodaikanal. Deeply familiar to both domestic and international travellers, the brand is poised for its next chapter of growth, and this latest signing in the heart of the national capital marks a defining moment in InterContinental’s story in India.
Commenting on the announcement, Sudeep Jain, Managing Director, South West Asia, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said, “We are delighted to once again partner with Eros Group (Nehru Place Hotels Private Limited) to bring our global luxury brand, InterContinental, to the national capital. South Delhi’s blend of corporate offices, embassies, and landmark attractions makes it an ideal location for a hotel of this calibre. Further strengthening our existing association with Eros Group, we look forward to creating a destination that supports both business and leisure demand while offering a luxury hospitality experience to our discerning guests.”
He further added, “Delhi is one of the most stable hospitality markets in the country and is characterised by a robust occupancy and ADR. With InterContinental Eros New Delhi Nehru Place, we will be positioned to strengthen our presence in one of India’s most vital economic hubs and deliver world-class hospitality.”
Guests of InterContinental Eros New Delhi Nehru Place will experience the brand’s hallmarks of worldly elegance, personalised service, and cultural connection, where contemporary luxury, immersive local touches, and intuitive hospitality come together. With its strategic location and thoughtfully curated facilities, the hotel will strengthen IHG’s Luxury & Lifestyle presence in India and offer guests a distinctive stay experience that combines the InterContinental brand’s legacy of international hospitality with the rich culture and energy of the capital city.
