Cygnett Hotels & Resorts has announced the signing of a 50-key Cozzet hotel at Ringas, near Khatu Shyam in Rajasthan, strengthening the hospitality company’s presence in the state while expanding its premium economy portfolio across high-growth pilgrimage and regional travel markets.
The signing comes as Khatu Shyam emerges as one of Rajasthan’s largest pilgrimage destinations. In 2025, the shrine recorded an annual footfall of approximately 2.54 crore devotees, leading the state’s religious tourism rankings. The scale of visitor movement is creating a growing requirement for organised accommodation and supporting hospitality infrastructure across the Khatu Shyam-Ringas corridor.
Located approximately 18 km from the Khatu Shyam Ji Temple, the upcoming hotel will be positioned to serve pilgrims, families, leisure guests and transit travellers. Its location, just 100 metres from Ringas railway station and directly accessible from NH-52 connecting the region with Jaipur, will provide convenient road and rail connectivity for travellers. Being a brownfield project Cozzet Khatushyam is expected to open its doors for the guest in mid of 2027.
The property will feature 50 contemporary rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, health club and swimming pool. It will also cater to the region’s social and events market with a 2,500 sq. ft. banquet venue capable of accommodating approximately 180-200 guests.
Commenting on the signing, Sarbendra Sarkar, Founder & Managing Director, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts, said, “Pilgrimage travel is increasingly becoming an important driver of hospitality demand across India. Destinations receiving millions of visitors annually require not just additional room inventory, but dependable branded accommodation with consistent service standards. Khatu Shyam is a strong example of this transition. With its proximity to the shrine and excellent road and rail connectivity, Ringas presents a compelling opportunity for Cozzet to serve this rapidly growing travel corridor.”
Cozzet by Cygnett is the flagship premium economy and micro-hospitality brand of Cygnett Hotels & Resorts. Built around its “Smart, Safe & Sensible” philosophy, the brand combines contemporary accommodation, essential amenities and efficient service for business, leisure and transit travellers.
The signing also advances Cygnett’s wider expansion strategy for Cozzet at a time when India’s micro and mid-scale hospitality market is projected to reach US$7.60 billion by 2031. The brand currently has a development pipeline of approximately 600 keys, with hotels under development and in pre-opening stages across Noida, Ayodhya, Amritsar, Jaipur and Arunachal Pradesh, among other locations.
Through an asset-light and scalable expansion model, Cygnett plans to grow Cozzet across pilgrimage centres, transit hubs, business markets and emerging urban destinations where demand for reliable, value-led branded hospitality is increasing.
