India's luxury hospitality industry is experiencing rapid growth, fuelled by increased disposable incomes, shifting traveller preferences, and infrastructure expansion. Both tier one and tier two cities are witnessing a surge in demand for premium experiences, attracting domestic and international brands alike. Here's a look at the current landscape, the factors driving growth, and the emerging trends shaping this dynamic sector.
GROWTH IN TIER TWO AND TIER THREE CITIES
Historically, luxury hotels were concentrated in metropolises like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru. However, escalating land prices, space constraints, and high operational costs in these metros have pushed hospitality brands to explore new markets in tier-two and tier-three cities. These smaller cities offer more affordable land, ample space, and increasing tourism, creating an ideal environment for luxury expansion. Places like Jaipur, Coimbatore, and Bhubaneswar are now gaining traction among both domestic and international travellers seeking high-quality, unique stays.
The growth of regional connectivity is also driving the expansion into smaller cities. With new airports, improved road infrastructure, and expanded rail networks, travellers can easily access these destinations. This improved accessibility, coupled with rising domestic tourism and government initiatives promoting smaller towns, has made these regions attractive for luxury hospitality brands, allowing them to tap into a new wave of demand beyond traditional metro areas.
