Hospitality chain Lemon Tree Hotels announced the opening of two new hotels in the pilgrimage town of Bodh Gaya, expanding its footprint in Bihar.
Lemon Tree Hotels, one of India's leading mid‑scale hospitality brands, confirmed that it will add two new properties in Bodh Gaya, the Buddhist pilgrimage centre in Bihar. The announcement was made through a statement to Business Standard, highlighting the chain's strategy to deepen its presence in tier‑2 cities and religious tourism hubs.
The two hotels are expected to open later this year, offering accommodation options for the influx of domestic and international pilgrims who visit the Mahabodhi Temple and surrounding sites. By expanding in Bodh Gaya, Lemon Tree aims to capture a growing market segment that seeks quality lodging at affordable rates.
Industry analysts note that the move aligns with broader trends in India's hospitality sector, where operators are focusing on secondary markets to offset saturation in metros. The new properties will also create local employment opportunities and contribute to the region's tourism‑driven economy.
