United Hospitality Management has accelerated its India expansion plans through the signing of three new hotel management agreements with IHG Hotels & Resorts, adding 182 keys to its growing portfolio.
The new signings include Garner Corbett (50 keys), voco Kanatal (92 keys) and Garner Ahmedabad (40 keys), with openings scheduled between 2027 and 2029.
The latest agreements mark another milestone in UHM’s India growth strategy following its entry into the market through the acquisition of Rosastays in December 2025. With these additions, the company has now signed 10 properties in India and expanded its operational and pipeline portfolio to 24 assets.
Carlos Leal, Executive Chairman and Board Member, UHM, said India remains one of the company’s most strategic growth markets. “India’s hospitality sector is entering a new phase of growth, driven by rising domestic travel, improving infrastructure and increasing investor confidence. Our objective is to build a diversified hospitality platform that delivers long-term value for owners while bringing international expertise to the Indian market,” he said.
The company said the three signings align with its strategy of building a balanced portfolio across leisure and business destinations. While Garner Corbett will target experiential wildlife tourism demand, voco Kanatal is positioned as an upscale mountain retreat, and Garner Ahmedabad will cater to demand from one of western India’s fastest-growing commercial hubs.
Deepika Arora, Managing Director, UHM India, said the company continues to see significant opportunities across gateway cities, emerging leisure destinations, mixed-use developments and branded residences. “These three signings reflect the confidence owners have placed in our operating model and mark another step in expanding our presence across India,” she said.
Operating under a brand-agnostic, owner-first model, UHM partners with global hospitality companies including Marriott, Hyatt, IHG, Accor, Wyndham and Yotel, helping owners select the most suitable brand and operating structure for each asset.
Looking ahead, the company said it is in advanced discussions for multiple hotel management agreements across India and Southeast Asia and remains focused on its long-term goal of managing more than 100 hotels across the country.
