A Game-Changer for Siliguri
Siliguri, often called the “Gateway of Northeast India,” sits at a key spot connecting India with Nepal, Bhutan, and Bangladesh. It’s a bustling hub for business and tourism, and now, it’s getting a major upgrade. The new hotel opening will feature 120 rooms, blending modern vibes with the warm hospitality DoubleTree by Hilton is known for worldwide. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a sign that Siliguri is ready to shine on the travel map.
The project is a result of a Hilton partnership with Soonerio Hotels Pvt Ltd, a part of the Beekay Group. Together, they’re working to create a space that caters to both leisure travel and business needs. Zubin Saxena, a senior leader at Hilton in South Asia, shared his excitement: “This hotel fits perfectly with the growing demand for quality stays in the area.”
Why This Matters
Northeast India has stunning hills, rich culture, and untapped beauty, but it’s often missed out on big hospitality names—until now. The Hilton expansion into Siliguri shows the company’s belief in the region’s potential. Here’s what makes this special:
- Location: Sevoke Road offers easy access to Bagdogra Airport and the upcoming Jalpaiguri Railway Station.
- Comfort: Expect cozy rooms, tasty dining options, and that famous DoubleTree cookie welcome.
- Growth: It’s a boost for tourism and jobs in Siliguri, a city on the rise.
Gopal Garg, a director at Soonerio Hotels, called Siliguri a “pristine destination” with a mix of city comforts and natural charm. Partnering with Hilton, he said, is a chance to lift the hospitality game here.
Looking Ahead to 2028
The DoubleTree by Hilton Siliguri is still a few years away, but the buzz has already started. For travelers dreaming of exploring Northeast India, this hotel promises a stylish base to unwind after adventures in the hills or busy days in town. It’s part of Hilton’s bigger plan too—with 64 hotels already running or in the works across South Asia, this is a bold step into an emerging market. By 2028, Siliguri could become a must-visit stop, thanks to this splash of luxury hospitality.
