Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), India’s largest hospitality company, announced its debut in the North Eastern state of Meghalaya, with the opening of Vivanta Meghalaya, Shillong. Located in the heart of the state’s capital, the stylishly designed hotel, brings alive the breath-taking beauty of the hills of Shillong.
Puneet Chhatwal, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, IHCL, said, “This hotel is in line with IHCL’s commitment to the North-eastern part of India.

Hotel’s young and vibrant vibe is further raised by Mynt, the all-day diner, which offers a mix of global and local favourites, and Wink bar, whose classic design makes it perfect for an evening of cocktails and conversations. A meeting room and banqueting space make this hotel the ideal location for meetings and social gatherings.
