Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd. (ROHL), one of India’s fastest-growing hospitality chains, has expanded its footprint in Maharashtra with the launch of Regenta Central Shivani, Solapur. Strengthening its presence in the region, this marks ROHL’s fourth property launch in the state this year and its 13th overall in Maharashtra.
Strategically located in Solapur’s MIDC area along the Bhima and Seena river basins, the new property blends comfort and functionality for both business and leisure travellers. Offering serene lake views and excellent connectivity to major cities like Pune and Hyderabad, Regenta Central Shivani is designed to serve as a premium hospitality hub in one of Maharashtra’s busiest industrial and commercial centres.
The hotel features 65 elegantly designed rooms, including three accessible rooms, and showcases a distinctive Rajasthani theme. Equipped with a swimming pool, spa, and gym, the property appeals to travellers seeking relaxation alongside work. Solapur, often referred to as the ‘Textile City’, also holds cultural and religious significance with renowned temples such as Tuljapur, Pandharpur, and Akkalkot located nearby, making the hotel a convenient base for spiritual tourism.
In line with Royal Orchid’s focus on blending design with utility, the hotel offers some of the city’s most expansive hospitality spaces. These include a 1000 sq. ft. meeting room, an 8600 sq. ft. indoor banquet hall, and a 25,000 sq. ft. outdoor lawn for large-scale gatherings. The signature all-day dining restaurant features 170 covers, complemented by a 40-cover poolside bar and a chic lobby café — positioning the property as a top choice for both events and casual dining in Solapur.
Commenting on the launch, Chander Baljee, Chairman and Managing Director of Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd., said:
“Solapur holds immense potential, not just as a spiritual and cultural centre, but as a growing commercial hub. This property strengthens our network in Maharashtra and fits our strategy to penetrate high-potential micro-markets with quality, accessible hospitality. We’re delighted to partner with Mathura Agro Industries to bring this vision to life.”
Venugopal Karwa and Lavesh Karwa, Managing Directors of Mathura Agro Industries, added:
“This collaboration is a milestone for us. Regenta brings a fresh, vibrant hospitality experience to Solapur, and we look forward to offering guests a truly elevated stay.”
Beyond its industrial clout, Solapur is emerging as a multifaceted destination with attractions like the Siddheshwar Temple, Shri Shivyogi Siddheshwar Swami Math, and the Ujani Dam. Nature lovers can explore the Great Indian Bustard Sanctuary, home to one of India’s most endangered birds.
The launch of Regenta Central Shivani highlights Royal Orchid’s continued momentum in Tier-II and Tier-III cities, where the demand for well-equipped, branded hotels is on the rise. The group currently operates over 110 hotels across India and is listed on both the BSE and NSE. Its Regenta sub-brand continues to grow, offering a range of stays from upscale hotels to value-focused inns, aimed at the modern Indian traveller who values comfort, affordability, and convenience.
