Chitrakoot: Where Faith, Heritage and Nature Converge
Located along the banks of the Mandakini River, Chitrakoot is one of India’s most sacred towns and holds deep associations with Lord Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana. The destination is known for its ancient temples, forested hills, ghats, and spiritual retreats, making it a year-round centre for religious tourism as well as reflective leisure travel.
Keys Select Chitrakoot is positioned to offer modern hospitality in a destination where accommodation options are still limited, creating a strong opportunity to cater to both spiritual pilgrims and travellers seeking cultural immersion.
Designed for Comfort, Events and Extended Stays
The upcoming hotel will feature 48 well-appointed rooms, complemented by a restaurant, banquet and meeting spaces, a fitness centre, and a swimming pool. The property is being developed to serve a wide range of guests, including families, religious groups, corporate travellers, and small social gatherings.
Its location offers convenient connectivity, situated approximately 10 kilometres from Chitrakoot Airport, 105 kilometres from Prayagraj Airport, and just 5 kilometres from Chitrakutdham Karwi Railway Station, with easy access via public and private transport.

Commenting on the development, Vilas Pawar, CEO – Managed & Franchise Business, Lemon Tree Hotels, said,
“With this signing, we are pleased to expand our religious and leisure portfolio in a destination that attracts pilgrims and travellers seeking spiritual reflection and cultural connection. The state has eight operational and fourteen upcoming hotels.”
Strengthening Lemon Tree’s Uttar Pradesh Portfolio
