Atmosphere Core announced its collaboration with Meghalaya Infratech Limited to establish a luxurious hotel and resort in India's northeastern gateway. Scheduled to debut in the first quarter of 2026, The Dhar, a Signature Atmosphere in Guwahati, will be ideally located at the border between Assam’s capital, Guwahati, and Meghalaya, just 45 minutes from Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport.
This strategic alliance underscores Atmosphere Core’s determined expansion across India, with a keen focus on the vibrant northeastern region. As part of its ambitious plan to launch 25 properties by 2025, the company is designing the resort to cater to corporate, leisure, curated corporate meetings and events, and destination weddings, a vision that aligns with the Government of India’s renewed focus on this dynamic area.
Operating under the sub-brand Signature Atmosphere, the lifestyle resort will feature 207 luxury accommodation keys, from deluxe rooms and suites to presidential suites. Each space will be meticulously designed to showcase breathtaking views of Guwahati City, lush tea plantations, and the stunning valleys of northeastern India.
Atmosphere Core will add its signature culinary expertise. It is an extraordinary culinary adventure. Featuring a lively all-day dining venue with outdoor seating and multiple speciality restaurants that highlight northeastern flavours, the property will also include a bakery, café, lounge, and bar dedicated to serving exceptional dishes for the refined palate.
Guests can indulge in an exclusive range of indoor and outdoor activities meticulously crafted to deliver a multi-faceted leisure and bi-leisure experience. The resort’s spa and wellness centre, managed by the renowned ELE|NA brand, will serve as a tranquil haven, offering soothing tea garden views. The resort’s verdant landscape will be a perfect setting for rejuvenation and peace.
The Dhar, a Signature Atmosphere Guwahati, is designed to be the perfect destination for relaxation and business. With indoor event venues, expansive outdoor lawns and event venues, and boardrooms, the property is poised to become an exceptional destination for curated corporate meetings, events and weddings.
Guwahati is a vibrant hub of cultural and historical attractions.

Coupled with significant infrastructure development and government initiatives like the Look East policy, Guwahati’s reputation as an essential destination continues to grow.

Guwahati is not only the gateway to the Northeast but is also evolving into a vital business and tourism hub. Its captivating beauty, rich cultural heritage, and strategic significance have always inspired us. I am excited to announce our entry into this esteemed region, and I am confident that our collaborative efforts will transform this property into a highly coveted destination."
