Lemon Tree Hotels announced its latest signing – Lemon Tree Hotel, Morbi. The property, which shall be managed by Lemon Tree Hotels Limited, is expected to open in FY 2029.
Morbi, situated on the Kathiawar peninsula in Gujarat, India, holds a rich history and cultural heritage. It was once the capital of the Morvi State and is now renowned as the “ceramics capital of India” due to its thriving pottery industry. Apart from its commercial significance, Morbi offers a glimpse into its past with landmarks such as the Morbi Palace and the Hanging Bridge, though the bridge tragically collapsed in 2022. Despite this setback, Morbi remains a resilient city, drawing visitors with its lively markets, the tranquil Machhu River, and the impressive Trimandir, a temple complex that embodies Jainism, Shaivism, and Vaishnavism.
Lemon Tree Hotel, Morbi will feature 75 well-appointed rooms, a restaurant, a banquet hall, a meeting room, a spa, and a swimming pool. The Rajkot International Airport is about 65 kms from the property while the Morbi Railway Station is about 12 kms away. The hotel is also well connected by roadways for both public and private transport.
Speaking on the occasion, Vilas Pawar, CEO- Managed & Franchise Business, Lemon Tree Hotels commented, “We are pleased to announce the expansion of our portfolio in Gujarat with our valued partner Shivdarsh Hospitality Private Limited.
