ECKO Hotels & Resorts, a new-age hospitality brand blending global sensibilities with Indian warmth, has launched operations in India with 100 keys across three properties in Uttarakhand. The properties, ECKO Antarman Ganges, Haridwar; ECKO Rishikesh and ECKO Tapovan by the Ganges, aim to tap into the potential of spiritual tourism. Built on the pillars of individuality, community, sustainability and technology, the brand strives to minimise environmental footprint and support local communities through responsible practices. It aims to offer immersive guest experiences beyond the usual tourist trails.
Emphasising Uttarakhand’s spiritual, wellness and adventure appeal as the starting point for the brand’s journey, Perkin Rocha, Founder & CEO, ECKO Hotels & Resorts, said, “I am sure, our unique hotels in Haridwar, Tapovan and Rishikesh will delight guests with engaging unique dining, stay and bespoke experiences. Plan is to have 1,000 rooms by end of this year, or by mid-2026, depending on the acquisition.”
The chain’s vision is to create a brand that is uncomplicated and resonates with its customers.
