Bhubaneswar: Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), India’s largest hospitality company, has marked its entry into Odisha with the signing of a Tree of Life resort at Chilika Lake, as the eastern Indian state emerges as one of the country’s hottest tourist destinations.
Located on the banks of the lake, the newly built 30-key Tree of Life Chilika Lake offers unparalleled views of the lagoon. Guests can enjoy their time at the all-day dining restaurant and bar, along with a spacious meeting room. They can also relax at the swimming pool and spa.
Commenting on the development, Suma Venkatesh, Executive Vice President – Real Estate & Development, IHCL, said the rising preference for nature-led, lesser-explored destinations reflects a shift in the way guests are choosing to travel.

Marking the brand’s entry into Odisha, this signing aligns with our strategy to expand in destinations with strong experiential appeal. We are pleased to partner with Mr. Sanjay Gadodia for this project.”
