This move marks a strategic expansion aimed at developing a luxury 5-star hotel and resort, enhancing Assam’s tourism infrastructure. The resort will offer a premium blend of modern hospitality and Kaziranga’s rich cultural and natural heritage, attracting both domestic and international travelers.

A joint venture between the Saraf Group and Hyatt, Juniper Hotels has a four-decade legacy in hospitality, with iconic properties such as the Grand Hyatt Mumbai.

This initiative is expected to boost employment and drive regional economic growth, positioning Assam as a premier travel destination.
Despite a 40% decline in Juniper Hotels’ stock value over the past year, the Kaziranga project signals a renewed focus on strategic investments and growth. With increasing demand for experiential luxury travel, this resort is poised to redefine sustainable tourism in Northeast India. The development underscores Juniper Hotels’ commitment to delivering high-quality hospitality experiences while contributing to Assam’s global tourism prominence.
