Mussoorie is getting another hotel, and this one is arriving with a familiar name behind it. ITC Hotels has signed a management agreement for a 65-key Storii by ITC Hotels property near Kempty Falls, marking another addition to the company’s presence in Uttarakhand. The new hotel is planned as a contemporary mountain retreat, with views of the Siwalik ranges and road connectivity from Dehradun, Rishikesh, and Haridwar.
The upcoming hotel will be located near the Kempty Falls area, one of Mussoorie’s best-known tourist zones. Its setting will give guests expansive views of the Siwalik ranges while keeping the property accessible by road from Dehradun, Rishikesh, and Haridwar. The hotel will be designed around its hill setting, with contemporary comforts intended for leisure travellers, families and those looking for a mountain break.
Anil Chadha, managing director, ITC Hotels Limited, said, “India’s travel landscape is evolving towards experiences that are more meaningful, personal and rooted in the character of a destination. Mussoorie, with its enduring charm, natural beauty and rich sense of place, continues to hold a special place in the hearts of travellers. The signing of Storii by ITC Hotels Mussoorie is in keeping with our vision to take the Storii philosophy of discovery, authenticity and immersive hospitality to distinctive destinations across the country.”
The 65-key property will include an all-day dining restaurant, a bar and lounge, as well as wellness facilities. The hotel will focus on the character of its surroundings, aligning with the Storii brand’s emphasis on discovery, authenticity, and experiences rooted in individual destinations.
Why Mussoorie Continues To Attract New Hotels
For decades, Mussoorie has drawn visitors for its cooler climate, Himalayan foothill scenery and relatively easy access from the plains. Its proximity to Dehradun and connectivity with Rishikesh and Haridwar have also made it a practical choice for short leisure breaks, family holidays and celebrations.
The destination is also benefiting from growing interest in experiential and nature-led travel. The new Storii is positioned within that shift, with its mountain setting and planned wellness facilities aimed at travellers seeking a more restorative stay.
The signing also expands the Storii by ITC Hotels portfolio. The brand operates in ITC Hotels’ premium boutique segment and is built around bringing the culture, heritage and surroundings of individual destinations into the guest experience.
What The New Hotel Adds To ITC Hotels' Uttarakhand Presence
The Mussoorie signing comes as ITC Hotels continues to expand across distinctive leisure destinations. The company currently operates more than 155 properties with over 14,200 keys across India, Sri Lanka and Nepal, spanning seven brands.
For Mussoorie, the arrival of another branded hotel adds to an already established hospitality landscape. The new Storii’s location near Kempty Falls gives it a natural base for exploring the surrounding hills, while its planned restaurant, lounge and wellness facilities mean guests can also spend substantial time at the property.
An opening date, construction timeline, or room tariffs for the new Storii Mussoorie are yet to be announced.
