Aug 03: Olive Hospitality, the hospitality platform of Embassy Group, today announced the opening of four new hotels across Hyderabad, Gurugram, Visakhapatnam and Bengaluru. The launches add 165 operational keys to the portfolio, taking the company’s operating footprint to 67 hotels while marking Olive’s entry into North India through its first property in Gurugram.
With these openings, Olive now operates 67 hotels comprising 2,599 keys, while its signed portfolio has grown to 142 properties representing 5,641 keys across 24 cities. The latest additions reflect Olive’s continued focus on building density within India’s strongest commercial corridors while selectively expanding into new markets with long-term demand fundamentals.
The Gurugram opening represents an important milestone for the company as Olive enters North India for the first time. Located close to Golf Course Extension Road and Cyber City, the property establishes a strategic foothold in one of India’s largest corporate markets and provides a platform for future expansion across the NCR region.
The newly launched hotels are strategically located within some of India’s fastest-growing commercial ecosystems:
· Olive Hi-Tech City strengthens the company’s presence in Hyderabad’s technology corridor, with convenient access to HITEC City, Madhapur, Gachibowli and the Financial District.
· Olive Gurugram establishes Olive’s first presence in North India, serving one of the country’s largest business and corporate travel markets.
· Olive JP Nagar further consolidates Olive’s footprint in Bengaluru, with excellent metro connectivity and proximity to the Bannerghatta Road business corridor.
· Olive Visakhapatnam expands the brand into one of Andhra Pradesh’s thriving business, healthcare and tourism destinations.
Commenting on the expansion, Kahraman Yigit, Co-founder and CEO, Olive Hospitality, said: “These openings represent another important milestone in our journey and reflect the commitment of our team, our owners and our partners. Following the successful launch of India’s first Spark by Hilton hotels earlier this year, it’s encouraging to see our multi-brand platform continue to execute across different markets and customer segments.”
He added, “While our first opening in Gurugram marks an exciting step into North India, our broader strategy remains consistent. We will continue to grow thoughtfully in India’s strongest business corridors, focusing on markets where we believe we can create long-term value for both our hotel owners and our guests. As we scale, our priority remains building a technology-enabled operating platform that combines operational excellence with a consistently high-quality guest experience.”
These openings build on Olive Hospitality’s momentum during the first half of the year, including the successful launch of India’s first Spark by Hilton hotels in Bengaluru and Goa. Together, they continue Olive’s evolution into a multi-brand hospitality platform spanning Olive Hotels, Spark by Hilton and Open Hotels. As the portfolio grows, the company remains focused on disciplined execution, operational excellence and creating long-term value for its owners, partners and guests.
