Hyatt Hotels Corporation is venturing into Sikkim with a new 150-room property in Gangtok, according to officials. Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang laid the foundation stone virtually for the development at Mintokgang, part of the Suryavilas mixed-use project.
Located about 2 km from MG Marg, the project aims to tap into the burgeoning tourism market. Sikkim recorded over 17 lakh tourist arrivals in 2025, with a significant number being foreign visitors. Despite a strong tourist influx, premium accomodation in central Gangtok remains limited.
The upcoming Hyatt Regency Gangtok will feature a range of amenities including dining options, a spa, fitness center, and meeting spaces aimed at promoting MICE tourism. A casino is also on the cards. The CM noted that the initiative reflects investor confidence in Sikkim's potential as a top destination.
