Technology Drives Cygnett

Cygnett Hotels & Resorts has evolved as a technology–savvy brand in the hospitality industry. The group is actively working to add 12 to 15 hotels per year for the next three years, which will work out to about 4000 rooms by 2020.

How has 2018 been for Cygnett in terms of growth?

It has been yet another milestone year with lots of development. Many hotels and resorts have come under the Cygnett umbrella from various locations. So far, we have added 300 keys and will be coming up with six new properties.

Our units in Itanagar and Gangtok will be operational soon and the rest will be operational within a span of five to six months.

Is the group eyeing global expansion as well?

We are in the process of introducing new hospitality concepts to maximise value for customers and investors.
