The signing of Keys Select by Lemon Tree Hotels, Vijayawada, takes the group’s presence in Andhra Pradesh to 11 properties, comprising six operational hotels and five upcoming properties. Within Vijayawada, the group will have five properties, including three operational hotels and two in the pipeline, further strengthening its presence in one of the state’s key commercial and administrative centres

The upcoming hotel will feature 70 well-appointed rooms, a restaurant, banquet hall, meeting /conference room, spa and fitness centre. As a midscale brand, Keys Select by Lemon Tree Hotels is well suited to the city’s commercial activity and growing connectivity, offering a contemporary and dependable hospitality experience. Vijayawada Airport is approximately 19 km from the hotel, while Vijayawada Railway Station is just 1.5 km away, providing convenient access to the city and surrounding regions.

Commenting on the signings, Mr. Vishvapreet Singh Cheema, President, Lemon Tree Hotels Ltd., said, “Our growth strategy is centred on building scale in markets where we see sustained opportunity. Andhra Pradesh and Nepal are both important for us, and these two signings further advance our plans in each. In Vijayawada, the addition of Keys Select by Lemon Tree Hotels takes our portfolio to five properties, reflecting our confidence in the city’s continued commercial importance. In Siddharthanagar, the new hotel adds to our growing presence in Nepal, with a location that benefits from its proximity to Lumbini and the India–Nepal border. Together, these signings reinforce our commitment to building a strong, well-diversified portfolio across markets with compelling long-term prospects.”
