IHG Hotels and Resorts has signed a management agreement with Rajdeep Infra and Sales to develop Voco Lucknow, scheduled to open in late 2029.
The 135-key hotel, which will be located in Ashiyana near Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport, marks the third IHG property in the state capital.
Positioned as a premium offering, the Voco brand aims to combine the charm of individual hotels with the quality of a global brand.
IHG currently operates 51 hotels across six brands in India. These include Six Senses, InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Voco, Holiday Inn Resort, and Holiday Inn Express.
The company has a pipeline of 80 hotels in development, and intends to more than triple its Indian estate to 400 open or developing hotels by 2031.
Sudeep Jain, managing director for South West Asia at IHG Hotels and Resorts, said: “We are delighted to partner with Rajdeep Infra and Sales Pvt Ltd to introduce the vibrant voco brand to Lucknow. This signing is a strategic step in expanding our premium portfolio in India’s integral state capitals.
“Lucknow’s dynamic growth as an administrative, educational, and business destination makes it an ideal market for voco’s contemporary and distinctive hospitality. We are confident this hotel will resonate strongly with travellers seeking a premium, relaxed, and characterful stay.”
Aman Singh Chauhan, director at Rajdeep Infra and Sales, added: “Partnering with IHG Hotels and Resorts to bring the Voco charm to Lucknow aligns with our vision of creating high-quality assets in prime locations.
“We believe the unique personality and premium positioning of the Voco brand, supported by IHG’s global systems and expertise, will fill a notable gap in the Lucknow hospitality landscape and become a preferred choice for modern travellers.”
