Introduction

At Leisure Hotels, we firmly believe in the necessity of well-planned, stress-free breaks from the daily grind, especially in the hustle and bustle of city life. With over 30 years of hospitality experience, we stand as the sole Hotel Chain Company in the state, dedicated to setting and upholding high standards of quality and service.

“The essence of Hospitality”, we believe lies in the true Indian tradition of Atithi Devo Bhavo – “Guest is God”. This philosophy has inspired us to prioritize the well-being and contentment of our guests, shaping our overarching motto.

Beyond hospitality, Leisure Hotels is involved in diverse sectors, including sugar manufacturing, mining, real estate, and agriculture. Noteworthy are our initiatives in Eco Tourism and Sustainable Tourism Management, receiving widespread acclaim. Our expertise in creating, restoring, and managing world-class properties in Eco-Sensitive zones is particularly commendable.

Key Initiatives

1. The Dhikala Canter Safari: In collaboration with the Forest Department and The Corbett Hideaway, we pioneered the Canter Safari project in 1996. After a decade of successful partnership, the number of Canters has now expanded to four.

2. The Chardham Camps: Our camps at Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri, located in remote areas, were serving pilgrims. Our extensive resource base enables us to cater to thousands of pilgrims in base camps like Harsil, Barkot, Guptkashi, and Joshimath.

3. Restoration of 100-year-old Haveli in Haridwar: In 2003, we transformed an ancient Haveli on the banks of the River Ganges in Haridwar into a beautiful "Heritage Hotel," receiving critical acclaim from visitors.

4. Wilderness Infrastructural Advantage: Leisure Hotels, as a repository of top-notch resources in the field of nature study and appreciation, provides an unmatched wildlife guest experience at our lodges. This includes engaging activities such as slide shows, wildlife movies, nature walks, and interactions with nature experts.

5. Mahasheer Conservation: Partnering with the forest department of Uttarakhand, Leisure Hotels contributes to the conservation of Mahasheer (River Fish) in a specific stretch of the Ramganga River. This unique initiative involves private operators in preserving the forest and its habitat. The Hideaway River Lodge, one of our properties, used to actively monitor the river, provide food to the fish, and engage local villagers in enhancing the angling experience for our guests.
