IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement with DC Constructions for the development of Holiday Inn Express Siliguri Bagdogra Airport. The 100-key greenfield hotel is scheduled to open in 2028, further strengthening IHG’s presence in Eastern India and expanding the reach of the brand across key travel corridors.
Strategically positioned near Bagdogra International Airport, the new Holiday Inn Express Siliguri Bagdogra Airport is poised to serve the influx of business and transit travellers in Siliguri. As a key commercial hub in West Bengal, the city acts as a vital gateway to the Eastern Himalayas, North-East India, and international borders of Nepal, Bangladesh, and Bhutan.
As IHG’s largest and fastest-growing brand with over 3,200 hotels globally, Holiday Inn Express delivers more where it matters most—offering travellers simple, smart hospitality designed to balance efficiency with comfort. With the rollout of its Generation 5 design, the brand continues to elevate the essentials, combining flexible workspaces and refreshed aesthetics tailored for both business and leisure stays.
Commenting on the signing, Sudeep Jain, Managing Director, South West Asia, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “We are delighted to announce the signing of Holiday Inn Express Siliguri Bagdogra Airport, marking another milestone in our expansion across strategic gateway cities in India. This signing exemplifies the growth momentum of our Holiday Inn Express brand in India, which continues to be a top choice for guests seeking consistent, modern comfort and for owners looking for a proven, high-return investment.”
Speaking on behalf of the ownership, Avinash Tiwari, Managing Director, DC Constructions, added: “We are proud to partner with IHG Hotels & Resorts for Holiday Inn Express Siliguri Bagdogra Airport. Siliguri’s growing importance as both a travel hub and commercial destination makes this project particularly exciting for us. This collaboration will not only elevate the city’s hospitality landscape with international standards but also support the local economy, by attracting both business and leisure travellers to the region.”
Holiday Inn Express Siliguri Bagdogra Airport is the latest addition to the brand’s 17 hotels in the country, with another 21 in the pipeline, all focused on delivering consistent, value-driven experiences.
