Dusit International strengthens India expansion with signing of Dusit Princess Rishikesh in Uttarakhand
The upscale mixed-use development will feature luxury duplex villas, hotel rooms and lifestyle-led amenities in one of India’s leading wellness and spiritual destinations
BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach Newswire - 9 June 2026 - Dusit International, one of Thailand's leading hotel and property development companies, has signed a hotel management agreement with Atmosphere, a luxury real estate and hospitality development company focused on creating premium lifestyle destinations, to introduce Dusit's upper-midscale Dusit Princess brand in the Tehri Garhwal region of Uttarakhand.
Slated to open in 2031 amidst the tranquil Himalayan foothills near Rishikesh, one of India's most sought-after destinations for spirituality, wellness and adventure tourism, the project is envisioned as an upscale mixed-use development that combines contemporary hospitality with immersive, wellness-led experiences inspired by the surrounding natural landscape.
Thoughtfully planned to harmonise with its natural surroundings, Dusit Princess Rishikesh will comprise 300 keys, including hotel rooms and luxury duplex villas, and cater to both leisure and business travellers. The property will offer a comprehensive range of facilities, including a lobby lounge, business centre, all-day dining restaurant, outdoor swimming pool, fully equipped gym, yoga room, and versatile multipurpose spaces.
Further enhancing the lifestyle offering, Dusit Princess Rishikesh will also feature a clubhouse with curated wellness and recreational amenities such as a spa, infinity pool, restaurant with approximately 250 covers, squash court, mini-plex, bowling alley, indoor games, and other leisure experiences.
The signing builds on the momentum generated by the opening of dusitD2 Fagu, Shimla in December 2024 and further strengthens Dusit's development pipeline across India.
"India continues to be a strategic growth market for our company, with strong long-term potential across both gateway cities and emerging leisure destinations," said Siradej Donavanik, Vice President – Development (Global), Dusit International. "The signing of Dusit Princess Rishikesh reflects our commitment to growing thoughtfully in India through destinations that align with evolving traveller trends and owner aspirations.
