Lemon Tree Hotels Limited, announced the signing of Lemon Tree Hotel, Kumbakonam in Tamil Nadu. The hotel will be managed by Carnation Hotels Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lemon Tree Hotels Limited.
With this signing, the company further strengthens its presence in Tamil Nadu and expands its footprint across key cultural, tourism, and commercial destinations in South India. This milestone addition brings the group’s footprint in the state to eight hotels, comprising six operational and two upcoming properties, including this hotel.
Kumbakonam, widely recognized as one of South India’s prominent heritage and spiritual destinations, continues to witness strong demand from pilgrims, cultural travellers, and business visitors alike.

The property will also house a curated range of facilities including a multi-cuisine restaurant, versatile banquet spaces, a business meeting room, a refreshing swimming pool, a rejuvenating spa, and a modern fitness center.
Commenting on the signing, Mr. Neelendra Singh, Managing Director, Lemon Tree Hotels Ltd., said: “Expanding our presence across India’s iconic spiritual destinations is a strategic focus for us, and Kumbakonam – the Temple Town of Tamil Nadu fits perfectly into this. It’s a bustling heritage city with an immense, steady flow of pilgrims and cultural travellers, closely linked to key neighbours like Thanjavur and Trichy. Signing Lemon Tree Hotel, Kumbakonam presents a significant opportunity to serve this thriving market with the trusted hospitality that is synonymous with the Lemon Tree brand.”
The property is located approximately 101 km from Tiruchirappalli (Trichy) International Airport, offering an accessible drive of under two hours.
