ECKO Hotels & Resorts, a fast-growing Indian hospitality brand, has opened its first property in Western India with the launch of ECKO Hotel, Nashik. Located on the Mumbai-Agra National Highway near the Ambad Industrial Corridor, the hotel is designed for modern business travelers and marks a significant milestone in the brand's national expansion strategy.
Property Features and Amenities
The hotel features 42 thoughtfully designed rooms and suites, including Standard, Premium, Executive Suite, and Presidential Suite categories, each combining contemporary functionality with warm, comfortable interiors. Dining is anchored by Dandelion, a multi-cuisine restaurant serving Indian, Chinese, Continental, and regional specialties, alongside a daily buffet breakfast. For meetings and events, the hotel offers a dedicated boardroom, two flexible Orchid event spaces, a terrace venue, and a lawn, making it suitable for both corporate gatherings and private occasions.
Strategic Location and Re-leisure Philosophy
The Nashik property reflects ECKO's Re-leisure philosophy, a model that integrates business utility and meaningful leisure under one roof. Nashik is home to one of India's most prominent industrial zones, drawing executives and corporate travelers year-round, and is equally celebrated as a premier wine destination with a cluster of acclaimed vineyards nearby. For pilgrims, Shirdi—home to the revered Sai Baba temple and one of India's most visited sacred sites—lies approximately 90 km away, while Anjaneri Hill, considered the birthplace of Lord Hanuman, is closer still. Nashik also hosts the Kumbh Mela once every twelve years, with the next event scheduled for October 2026.
Founder's Statement on Expansion
Perkin Rocha, Founder of ECKO Hotels & Resorts, said: "Nashik has been on our radar for some time—and the timing felt right. This is a city that punches above its weight. It draws corporate travellers, pilgrims, wine enthusiasts, and leisure seekers, often all at once. That is exactly the kind of location where the ECKO model thrives. We are not just opening a hotel; we are making a statement about where we are headed in Western India. This opening marks a defining chapter in our journey to build a hospitality brand that is both commercially strong and rooted in the fabric of the places we enter."
Growing Portfolio and Future Plans
The Nashik opening strengthens ECKO's growing portfolio, which spans properties across Haridwar, Rishikesh, Pandukeshwar, Lansdowne, Amritsar, Udaipur, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and others. With upcoming hotels announced in Dehradun, Goa, Puri, and Rajasthan, the brand's footprint continues to grow across leisure, pilgrimage, and business destinations. The addition of a Western India property reflects a deliberate shift in ECKO's geographic spread, bringing the brand into one of the country's most economically active regions for the first time.
