Lemon Tree Hotels continues to strengthen its presence in Bihar with the signing of two new properties in Bodhgaya – Lemon Tree Hotel, Bodhgaya and Keys Select by Lemon Tree Hotels, Bodhgaya. With a combined inventory of 145 rooms, the signings further strengthen the group’s presence in Bihar, where it currently operates two hotels and has three properties in the development pipeline, including these two new signings.

The two signings will enable Lemon Tree Hotels to address a broader range of traveller segments while expanding its footprint in the state.
