In a significant development for India’s hospitality sector, Royal Orchid Hotels has entered into a strategic partnership with Hilton to introduce 125 Hampton by Hilton properties across the country.
The collaboration marks a major step toward expanding branded mid-scale hospitality in India, with a clear focus on scalability, consistency, and growing domestic demand. The partnership will be driven through Regenta Hotels, which will play a central role in managing and growing this relationship.
Industry sources indicate that Keshav Baljee, in his role as Head of Regenta, is leading this deal, underscoring the group’s commitment to structured expansion and operational excellence.
The initiative brings together the global strength of Hilton with the deep market understanding of Royal Orchid Hotels, led by Arjun Baljee and Chandar Baljee. Key leadership figures including Zubin Saxena and Alan Watts are also expected to play an important role in shaping this collaboration.
This partnership is being widely seen as a landmark move and a strong signal of structured, scalable growth in India’s hospitality landscape.
