Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd (ROHL), one of India’s fastest-growing hospitality chains, has unveiled its latest property—Regenta Central Shivani—in the vibrant city of Solapur, Maharashtra. This significant expansion marks ROHL’s fourth hotel opening in Maharashtra in 2025, reinforcing the group’s strategic vision to capture growth in key micro-markets across India. Located in the Solapur MIDC (Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation) area, the hotel aims to serve the rising influx of business and leisure travelers seeking quality accommodation and elevated service experiences.
A Strategic Location in an Emerging Travel Hub
Situated on the banks of the Bhima and Seena rivers, Regenta Central Shivani benefits from a scenic setting while being deeply embedded in Solapur’s economic and cultural fabric. The city, known for its thriving textile industry, intricate handicrafts, and leather goods manufacturing, is an essential commercial node in southwestern Maharashtra. Its strategic connectivity to urban centers like Hyderabad and Pune makes it a compelling destination for corporate travelers and religious tourists alike.
Solapur is also a gateway to Maharashtra’s spiritual heartland. The hotel provides convenient access to revered pilgrimage destinations such as Pandharpur, Tuljapur, and Akkalkot, drawing thousands of devotees each year. This unique blend of commerce and culture positions Solapur as an emerging tourism and business destination.
Modern Comforts with a Cultural Twist
Designed with a Rajasthani architectural theme, the hotel offers 65 modern and well-appointed rooms, including three accessible rooms, blending contemporary comfort with cultural charm. Whether guests are attending a conference or seeking a peaceful getaway, Regenta Central Shivani provides a tranquil retreat with expansive views of the surrounding rivers and countryside.
Guests can enjoy premium amenities such as a well-equipped fitness center, relaxing spa, and a swimming pool, catering to both business and leisure needs. A lobby café, all-day dining restaurant, and poolside bar add to the guest experience, offering curated menus that combine local Maharashtrian flavors with global cuisine.
Event Spaces that Redefine Business Hospitality
With a growing number of corporations and small businesses looking to host events in tier-2 cities, Regenta Central Shivani positions itself as a leader in business hospitality in Solapur. It boasts the largest common event area in the city, including a 1,000 sq. ft. meeting room, an expansive 8,600 sq. ft. indoor banquet hall, and a 25,000 sq. ft. open lawn, ideal for everything from business seminars to lavish weddings. The spaces are equipped with modern conferencing technology and flexible setups to suit diverse requirements.
Supporting the Regional Hospitality Ecosystem
Chander K. Baljee, Chairman and Managing Director of Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd., emphasized the brand’s ongoing focus on Maharashtra:
“This marks our 13th property in the state, and we are proud to meet the rising hospitality demand in high-potential regional markets. Solapur, with its textile heritage and religious significance, offers tremendous opportunity. Our partnership with Mathura Agro Industries ensures strong local integration.”
Mathura Agro Industries, the local partner for the project, sees the collaboration as an opportunity to elevate the city’s hospitality standards.
“We are excited to introduce the Regenta brand to Solapur and deliver exceptional guest experiences,” said Mr. Venugopal Karwa and Lavesh Karwa, Managing Directors of Mathura Agro Industries.
A Boost to Solapur’s Tourism Landscape
The launch of Regenta Central Shivani coincides with broader efforts by the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) to promote rural and cultural tourism. Solapur, home to sites like the Shri Shivyogi Siddheshwar Swami Math, Siddheshwar Temple, and the Great Indian Bustard Sanctuary, is increasingly being featured in MTDC campaigns targeting eco-tourism and heritage travel.
The nearby Ujani Dam is another attraction, offering serene landscapes for boating, birdwatching, and nature photography, drawing domestic tourists from across Maharashtra and Karnataka. With the new hotel, ROHL is well-positioned to cater to this growing segment of experiential and spiritual travelers.
As Royal Orchid Hotels continues its aggressive expansion in Maharashtra and beyond, the opening of Regenta Central Shivani sets a benchmark in regional hospitality. With its thoughtful integration of modern services, cultural ambiance, and strategic location, the property is expected to play a pivotal role in Solapur’s journey as a sought-after destination for business conferences, religious tourism, and cultural exploration.
