Being one of the most progressive and investor friendly States in India, we were keen to spread our wings here. Besides our owned hotel in Ahmedabad, the addition of these three properties in Gujarat opens new domestic locations for our existing customers offering them the same refreshing experience and close to home comfort that Lemon Tree is known for.”
He added, “Gujarat highlights a luxurious lifestyle of leisure, business and investments. It promises us new opportunities and a speedy growth. We thank our Owner Partners for entrusting us with their hotels and helping us enhance our portfolio mix.”

Lemon Tree is the 3rd largest hotel chain in India by owned rooms. It operates three brands – Lemon Tree Premier (upscale), Lemon Tree Hotels (midscale) and Red Fox Hotels (economy) and currently has 29 hotels in 18 cities with over 3200 rooms and the fastest growing Indian hotel company. By 2019, it will own and operate over 8000 rooms in 60 hotels across 30 major cities of India.
Speaking about the hotel, its owner Shapath Parikh, Owner-Lemon Tree Hotel, Vadodara, added, “Since we opened our doors, Lemon Tree Hotel, Vadodara has established itself as one of the top midscale hotels in the city. Conveniently located in the heart of the city, we offer 48 contemporary rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, a gym and three banqueting and meeting locations. This is Parikh Inn Group’s first venture in Western India, and we aim to build on our success in Gujarat in the future.”
Anshuman Mohta, Owner- Lemon Tree Hotel, Dahej, stated, “This is the maiden hotel venture of Hestia Hospitality. It is the only four star business hotel in Bharuch-Dahej belt of Gujarat. The hotel lays a special emphasis on a ‘clean and green environment’. Due to its strategic location outside the main Petrochemical SEZ, guests are able to unwind in green landscaped surroundings with an outdoor swimming pool. The cleaner air due to the green surroundings is certainly very rejuvenating, especially after a long day at work. Not just for business people, due to the dearth of hotels in the area, we are also a family oriented hotel for those looking to get away for a break. We would definitely strive to specialise in ‘refresh, rejuvenate and revive’ for all our guests.”
