Cygnett Hotels

What Cygnett Hotels does

Cygnett Hotels & Resorts Private Limited is a privately held Indian hospitality company founded by Sarbendra Sarkar in 2014 and headquartered in Gurgaon, Haryana. The company operates a multi-brand hotel portfolio spanning luxury (Anamore, Anamore Select, Cygnett Collection), upscale (Cygnett Park, Cygnett Style), midscale (Cygnett Hotels, Cygnett Inn), and value/economy (Cozzet, Cygnotel, Cygnett Lite) tiers, with approximately 1,200 rooms currently operating across 45+ destinations in India and an additional 2,500+ rooms in development and pre-opening. The company earns revenue through three asset-light models: hotel management contracts, franchise and brand licensing agreements (including Trademark By Wyndham co-branded properties), and leased hotel operations, supplemented by participation in the Wyndham Rewards loyalty program.

The company has built a proprietary technology stack branded as Cygnett CX, which integrates a Central Reservation System (CRS), Online Reputation Management (ORM), a Property Management System (My Cloud PMS), a Revenue Management Software with daily competitor monitoring, an AI chatbot, a blockchain-powered loyalty ecosystem, and the Cygnett Learning & Academics (CLA) e-learning platform. This technology layer underpins both internal operations and the value proposition offered to property owners who franchise or sign management agreements with the company.

Cygnett's strategic positioning targets underserved Tier 2 and Tier 3 Indian cities, including religious tourism destinations such as Ayodhya (where it is the first branded hotel operator), as well as business and exhibition hubs. A strategic alliance with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, announced in February 2026, commits the partners to develop 60+ hotels across South Asia (India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal) and introduces the La Quinta and Registry Collection Hotels brands to the region. Distribution operates through direct website booking, GDS integration, OTAs, Wyndham Rewards, regional sales offices, and central reservations.
