GAP Group Unveils Hyatt Place Dholera

In a major landmark hospitality development for the region, GAP Group has commenced work on Hyatt Place Dholera, a proposed five-star hotel being developed in partnership with Hyatt. With 200 rooms, including 20 suites, the project will bring an internationally recognised hospitality brand to Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR), strengthening the region’s infrastructure for business travellers, investors and visitors.

The groundbreaking ceremony was performed by former Gujarat Cabinet Minister and senior BJP leader Bhupendra Singh Chudasama and Kalubhai Dabhi, MLA from Dhandhuka. Sonale Zagade, General Manager at Hyatt Group, unveiled the hotel’s finalised design, offering the first look at the upcoming development. The occasion also featured a tree plantation by the dignitaries.

Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel also graced the occasion with a visit to GAP Group’s Akhilam Township. During the visit, he explored the Hyatt Place Dholera site and the Group’s other developments, including Avant, the coworking space and the food court. He was accompanied by Gujarat Chief Secretary M. K. Das, Advisors to the Chief Minister Hasmukh Adhia and S. S. Rathore, Dholera Industrial City Development Limited (DICDL) Managing Director Kuldeep Arya, and other senior Gujarat government officials.

Spread across approximately 2.6 lakh sq. ft. of built-up area, including two basement levels, Hyatt Place Dholera will rise to approximately 65 metres. The hotel will offer a restaurant, banquet hall, pre-function area, business meeting facilities, swimming pool, gym, café and lounge. Its banquet and pre-function spaces, together with an outdoor lawn, will accommodate approximately 500 people, positioning the property to host business meetings, conferences and social events alongside its accommodation and leisure offerings.

Speaking on the occasion, Gopal Goswami, Chairman of GAP Group, said, “Dholera is entering an important phase of development, with several ongoing and upcoming industrial projects creating new opportunities. As business activity grows, there will be a greater need for hospitality facilities to serve investors, business travellers and other visitors. Hyatt Place Dholera is an important step in meeting this need, and we believe it will support the region’s growth in the years ahead.”

Ambrish Parajiya, Managing Director of GAP Group, said, “GAP Group has been part of Dholera’s development journey since commencing operations in 2014. As the first private developer to begin development in the Dholera Activation Zone, we have witnessed the region’s progress over the past decade. We believe that Dholera’s next phase of growth will require infrastructure that supports not only industry and commerce but also the people who will live, work and do business here. Hyatt Place Dholera is an important step in that direction. We remain confident in the region’s potential and plan to invest ₹2,500 crore in Dholera by 2030 across residential, commercial and industrial developments.”

Located along the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), Dholera SIR is being developed as a smart industrial city with planned infrastructure and multimodal connectivity. The Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway and the proposed international airport are expected to improve access to the region as industrial and commercial activity expands.

As Dholera advances, the need for quality hospitality will grow alongside its industrial development. Hyatt Place Dholera is intended to address this need while adding a new dimension to the city’s development, one where business infrastructure is complemented by accommodation, meeting spaces and leisure facilities. For GAP Group, the project represents a step towards supporting Dholera’s evolution into a destination equipped to welcome a wider range of businesses and visitors.
