Dibrugarh: Dibrugarh, an industrial hub in Assam renowned for its tea trading industry and its role as a gateway to prominent tourist spots, is set to welcome its largest hospitality addition with the introduction of a Ginger hotel.
With this addition the city will serve as a strategic gateway to neighbor Arunachal Pradesh, facilitating vital connectivity and trade routes.
The Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), India's foremost hospitality entity, has revealed its signing in Dibrugarh, Assam, marking the entry of the Ginger brand into this industrial city.
The 77-key hotel, a greenfield project on a fully fitted lease, will embody Ginger's signature lean luxe design and service philosophy, promising guests a vibrant, contemporary, and seamless hospitality experience. Strategically located on KC Gogoi Path in the city center, the hotel enjoys proximity to Dibrugarh Airport and key tourist attractions, making it an ideal choice for both business and leisure travelers.
