About the Project
The hotel is located in Gomti Nagar, close to the Ekana Stadium, in the part of Lucknow where the government’s development focus is now concentrated, including the upcoming IT City. Despite this momentum, there is hardly any branded hotel supply on this side of the city.
The area needs a hotel that can host large meetings, conferences and events, not just offer rooms. The project is designed to meet that need. With 215 keys under the Gateway by IHCL brand, the hotel will offer a contemporary hospitality experience backed by IHCL’s legacy and strong domestic brand equity.
Amenities & Offerings
Guests will enjoy a host of well-curated amenities, including:
An all-day dining restaurant, a speciality restaurant and a bar
A spa, gym and swimming pool for rest and recreation
Banqueting space of over 8,000 sq. ft., along with pre-function areas and conference facilities for business and social gatherings
Why This Location?
The hotel will draw on several demand drivers:
Ekana Stadium: on match and event days, the hotel will serve teams, fans, media and event crews.
IT City and government projects: the rest of the year, these will bring steady corporate and institutional travel.
Lucknow’s events market: the city’s wedding and social events market adds strong demand for banqueting.
With such a clear location case, the conversation with the brand was straightforward, making this one of Investloft’s smoother transactions.
Strategic Vision
This signing aligns with IHCL’s strategy of expanding its presence in high-growth Tier II markets, delivering quality hospitality experiences across key destinations.
Gratitude & Collaboration
Investloft sincerely thanks IHCL and Kripanidhi Hospitality Pvt Ltd for their cooperation and confidence in bringing the Gateway brand to Lucknow.
