The hotel offers spacious rooms in the city, a multi-cuisine restaurant, Sutra, and expansive banqueting facilities. The hotel features large-format event venues including the Crystal Ballroom and Aura Hall, making it a strong destination for weddings, conferences, and social gatherings.
In Rishikesh, the brand has introduced two distinct formats catering to different travellers. Country Inn, Rishikesh, located in Tapovan, and Parmarth Niketan Ashram. With 28 rooms including the Suites, the hotel features a casual dining restaurant, and an intimate event space.
Further strengthening its presence in the destination, the group has also introduced Country Inn Smart Stays, Rishikesh, marking the launch of a new brand format under the Country Inn portfolio. Designed for younger, experience-led travellers, Country Inn Smart Stays focuses on smart spaces, warm hospitality, and ease of use. The hotel offers 31 well designed rooms, rooftop swimming pool and dining, BOHO Café and a lively recreation zone.
Speaking about the expansion, Akhil Arora, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Espire Hospitality Group, said, “With the opening of three new Country Inn properties and one more coming very soon across Dehradun and Rishikesh, we are strengthening our presence across the state while catering to a diverse mix of travellers.
