Sarovar Hotels has announced the launch of Vandhara Sarovar Premiere in Patkote, Jim Corbett, marking its entry into one of North India’s most sought-after leisure destinations. Positioned as a refined, nature-led retreat near Jim Corbett National Park, the new property reinforces Sarovar’s focus on experiential luxury in high-growth leisure markets.
The opening aligns with Sarovar Hotels’ broader expansion strategy. The brand currently operates over 150 hotels across India, Nepal and Africa, with nearly 80 additional properties under development across leisure, business and regional hubs.
Designed for Luxury & Leisure
Vandhara Sarovar Premiere features 73 villas, rooms and suites, each offering private balconies and garden- or mountain-facing views. The property is positioned to attract luxury leisure travellers, destination weddings and experiential getaways, combining elevated accommodation with immersive natural surroundings.
According to Ajay K. Bakaya, Chairman, Sarovar Hotels and Director, Louvre Hotels India, the Corbett belt continues to evolve as a high-value destination for leisure and celebrations. He noted that the new hotel has been conceptualised to meet this demand through premium stays, expansive event infrastructure and curated experiences that enable travellers to connect with Uttarakhand’s forests, culture and heritage.
Located in Patkote, an emerging hospitality enclave away from Corbett’s busier tourism circuits, the hotel offers a quieter, more exclusive alternative amid dense forests, open landscapes and the dramatic backdrop of the lower Himalayas. The location provides convenient access to Sitabani Temple, core safari zones, birding trails, forest walks, village experiences and hiking routes, positioning the property as an immersive alternative to conventional wildlife stays.

Architecture that Blends Luxury with Nature
Designed to harmonise with its surroundings, Vandhara Sarovar Premiere blends contemporary luxury with nature-forward aesthetics. Warm materials, expansive layouts and uninterrupted views define the architecture and interiors, creating seamless indoor-outdoor experiences that appeal across generations—from romantic escapes and honeymoons to family vacations with children.
Guests can choose from curated activities including guided wildlife trails, birdwatching, stargazing, night forest walks (in permitted zones), riverside picnics and village tours. The property also offers nature-inspired wellness experiences, with an outdoor pool, spa therapies and yoga sessions set against the serenity of the forest.
Positioned as a leading venue for destination weddings and MICE, the hotel features two indoor banquet halls measuring 3,200 sq. ft. and 1,500 sq. ft., along with the 5,000 sq. ft. Nakshatra Lawn for open-air events. The property offers professional planning support, customised décor, gourmet menus and flexible event setups, catering to large-scale celebrations and corporate gatherings alike.
The hotel’s dining portfolio includes Brahmkamal, an all-day dining restaurant serving regional specialities alongside global cuisine, and Somras, an intimate lounge bar offering signature beverages in a relaxed setting.
