Radisson to Launch Mira Bhayandar’s First Five-Star Hotel in Landmark Deal with Vihang Group
Mumbai, April 29, 2026: Radisson Hotel Group is teaming up with Vihang Group to open two new hotels in the Mumbai area. This deal includes the first-ever five-star hotel for Mira Bhayandar, a fast-growing neighborhood that is quickly becoming a major business and residential hub. The partnership includes the development of Radisson Hotel Mumbai Thane and Radisson Hotel Mumbai Mira Bhayandar, collectively adding 217 keys to the Group’s portfolio. This strategic move targets high-growth peripheral corridors where infrastructure and commercial activity are outpacing traditional business districts, the company said in a press release.
The Radisson Hotel Mira Bhayandar, situated at Vihang Ventura along the prominent Mira Bhayandar Road, is being developed by Vihang Ahead. The 103-room property is designed to serve as a premier destination for corporate travelers and large-scale MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) events, featuring specialty restaurants, a bar, and extensive banquet spaces. The location stands to benefit significantly from upcoming infrastructure, including Metro Line 9 and enhanced road linkages to National Highway 48, facilitating a shift for the area from a peripheral suburb to a premium urban hub.
Purvesh Pratap Sarnaik, Director of Vihang Ahead, hailed the project as a transformative moment for the local skyline. “Bringing the first five-star hotel to Mira Bhayandar is a milestone that was long overdue. As the region evolves with an upscale commercial and residential landscape, it deserves a global brand like RHG. By bringing Radisson to Vihang Ventura, we are creating a premier destination that blends business, retail and hospitality. This project is a badge of pride for Vihang Ahead, setting a new lifestyle benchmark and putting Mira Bhayandar on the national hospitality map. We are here to transform this skyline, and this is just the beginning of much more to come,” he said.
Echoing this vision for regional growth, Pratap Sarnaik, Founder & Chairman of Vihang Group, emphasized the broader impact on living standards in the MMR. “Vihang Group’s partnership with Radisson Hotel Group is a testament to our unwavering commitment to the growth story of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. For decades, we have committed ourselves to elevating the region’s infrastructure and standard of living. We are not just building hotels, we are bringing the best of living standards to the region. This venture is a significant milestone in the region’s transformation into a hub of national, maybe international excellence, ensuring that our residents and visitors experience the very pinnacle of global hospitality,” he stated.
From a corporate perspective, the dual signing reflects Radisson’s strategy to capture demand in emerging business clusters. Nikhil Sharma, Managing Director & COO, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group, noted, “As we continue to strengthen our presence across metro cities in India, a key focus for us is identifying and expanding into emerging business corridors that are witnessing increasing commercial activity and infrastructure development. These signings align with that strategy, allowing us to deepen our footprint within high-growth urban clusters and cater to evolving demand from business and MICE segments. By building scale in such locations, we are well positioned to address the next phase of urban expansion in India’s leading cities.”
Davashish Srivastava, Senior Director, Development, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group, added that the mixed-use nature of these developments—integrating hotels within retail and commercial ecosystems—is key to driving long-term value. “Tier 1 cities are strategic to our growth through high-yield assets and identification of high potential micromarkets within metros, where improving connectivity and commercial momentum are driving new demand centres. Both properties are part of mixed-use developments, which allow us to integrate hospitality within larger commercial and retail ecosystems, enhancing asset value and ensuring sustained demand,” he explained. With over 200 hotels in operation and development across India, this latest expansion reinforces Radisson’s leadership in the country’s hospitality sector.
