Cygnett Hotels & Resorts continues to develop its presence in Rajasthan with the signing of a 50-key Cozzet hotel in Ringas near Khatu Shyam, a major pilgrimage site. The signing is another step in the company’s plan to develop its premium economy hospitality segment to cater to the rapidly evolving pilgrimage, leisure, and regional travel segments.

The announcement comes at a time when Khatu Shyam has emerged as one of Rajasthan’s most prominent religious tourism destinations. The shrine witnessed an estimated annual footfall of around 2.54 crore devotees in 2025, making it one of the state’s busiest pilgrimage centres. The increasing movement of visitors has created strong demand for organised accommodation options and improved hospitality infrastructure in the Khatu Shyam-Ringas corridor.

Strategically located around 18 kilometres from the Khatu Shyam Ji Temple, Cozzet Khatushyam will cater to pilgrims, families, leisure travellers and transit guests visiting the region. The hotel’s proximity to Ringas railway station, located just 100 metres away, along with direct road connectivity through NH-52 linking the area with Jaipur and other key destinations, will provide convenient access for travellers.

The brownfield development is scheduled to open in mid-2027 and will introduce modern accommodation facilities to support the region’s growing visitor economy. The property will feature 50 contemporary rooms designed to meet the needs of both short-stay and leisure travellers.

Beyond accommodation, the hotel will offer a range of guest facilities, including an all-day dining restaurant, health club and swimming pool. The property will also strengthen the region’s meetings and social events segment with a 2,500-square-foot banquet space capable of hosting approximately 180 to 200 guests.

With this signing, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts continues to expand its presence across emerging tourism destinations in India, focusing on locations where rising visitor numbers are driving demand for reliable, branded hospitality experiences.

Commenting on the signing, Sarbendra Sarkar, Founder & Managing Director, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts, said, “Pilgrimage travel is increasingly becoming an important driver of hospitality demand across India. Destinations receiving millions of visitors annually require not just additional room inventory, but dependable branded accommodation with consistent service standards. Khatu Shyam is a strong example of this transition. With its proximity to the shrine and excellent road and rail connectivity, Ringas presents a compelling opportunity for Cozzet to serve this rapidly growing travel corridor.”

Cozzet by Cygnett serves as the flagship premium economy and micro-hospitality brand of Cygnett Hotels & Resorts, designed around the concept of providing smart, secure and practical stays for modern travellers. Guided by its “Smart, Safe & Sensible” approach, the brand focuses on contemporary rooms, essential guest facilities and streamlined services that cater to business travellers, leisure visitors and transit guests.

The latest signing supports Cygnett’s broader growth strategy for Cozzet as India’s micro and mid-scale hospitality segment continues to expand. The market is expected to reach approximately US$7.60 billion by 2031, driven by rising domestic travel, growing pilgrimage tourism, business mobility and demand for affordable branded accommodation.

Cozzet currently has a development pipeline of around 600 rooms across multiple destinations, including upcoming and pre-opening properties in Noida, Ayodhya, Amritsar, Jaipur, Arunachal Pradesh and other emerging markets.

Using an asset-light and scalable growth model, Cygnett aims to further expand the Cozzet brand across high-potential locations such as pilgrimage destinations, transport-linked cities, commercial centres and developing urban markets. The strategy focuses on meeting the increasing demand for dependable, value-focused and professionally managed hospitality experiences across India.
