Introduction

Leisure Hotels is the only Hotel Chain Company operating in the state with more than 30 years of hospitality experience. We, as pioneers in the field, feel it is our duty & responsibility in setting standards & driving quality by offering good facilities & services to our guests.
“The essence of Hospitality”, we believe lies in the true Indian tradition of Atithi Devo Bhavo – “Guest is God”. It is such philosophy and though that has inspired us to consider guest satisfaction as supreme and has gone a long way in shaping our motto.
The group also has other interests in sugar manufacturing, mining, real estate & agriculture. Various initiatives of Leisure Hotels in the fields of Eco Tourism & in Sustainable Tourism Management has been very well appreciated. Our experiences in creating, restoring and managing world class properties in Eco - Sensitive zones are especially commendable. Few of them are:

The Chardham Camps: We run camps at Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri & Yamunotri for the last 4 years which are again in remote areas.
