Ilara Hotels & Spa is a distinguished Indian hospitality brand, founded in 2012 by Bivan Choudhury and his wife, Goshmi Seth. What began as a vision to make luxury hospitality more accessible has grown into a nationally recognised chain, with five operational properties across India and seven more set to launch soon. Each property reflects Ilara’s core philosophy—an elegant fusion of high-end comfort, cultural authenticity, and personalised service. Ilara places a strong emphasis on weaving local culture into every guest experience, from regionally inspired architecture to thoughtfully curated cuisine. The brand is equally committed to sustainability, embracing eco-friendly practices and engaging with local communities to promote responsible tourism.

Bivan Choudhury’s journey in hospitality began at the young age of 13, gaining hands-on experience in all facets of guest service and hotel operations. Observing a gap in the market—where luxury was often accompanied by a prohibitive price tag—he aspired to create a brand that redefined value. Alongside Goshmi Seth, who brought her insights and passion to the venture, Ilara Hotels & Spa was born, rooted in the belief that exceptional hospitality should be both luxurious and inclusive. Under Bivan’s leadership, Ilara has expanded its footprint while maintaining uncompromising standards of service. The brand has received several accolades, including being named the “Most Preferred Chain of Hotels Providing Outstanding Customer Service” at the National Fame Awards 2024. His forward-thinking vision continues to drive Ilara’s growth across India and beyond, without losing sight of the personal touch that defines the guest experience. Today, we stand as a shining example of how thoughtful design, heartfelt service, and cultural richness can come together—offering meaningful stays and setting new benchmarks in the Indian hospitality industry.
