The property is located approximately 17 kms from Jay Prakash International Airport and the upcoming Bihta airport, 9 km from Danapur Railway Station, 19 kms from Patna Secretariat, and 7.7 km from AIIMS Patna. Its location also provides access to major city landmarks such as Golghar, Patna Museum, and Gandhi Maidan.

The hotel offers a mix of rooms and cottages designed to support short and extended stays. Food and beverage offerings include Café C, the all-day dining restaurant serving regional and international cuisine, and The Bakery, which focuses on hot and cold beverages, decaffeinated teas, and baked products.

Recreational facilities at the property include the Vitalia Spa and gym, along with Plunge, the brand’s signature swimming pool. The hotel also features a kids’ play area, targeting family travel demand. For meetings, weddings, and social functions, the property offers indoor and outdoor event spaces with a combined capacity of up to 1,000 guests.

Pramod Kumar, Director, Ramanujam Resorts Pvt Ltd, said, “We are pleased to have built a strong partnership with Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels Limited for the development and operations of this hotel. We look forward to deepening this association and exploring opportunities to expand together across other cities in the region as well.”

Vikas Ahluwalia, general manager and National Head of Zone by The Park Hotels, stated, “We are thrilled to mark our first foray in Bihar with Zone Connect by The Park. Bihar is an important addition to our portfolio as we expand into high-potential markets beyond India’s metros. The state’s rapid economic growth, improving infrastructure, and growing base of business and leisure travelers make it an ideal destination for our brand. We see immense potential for growth of Zone hotels – as we tap into a promising territory while catering to price-conscious, design-conscious travellers in Tier II & Tier III cities. Zone Connect by The Park is a quintessential metropolitan hotel brand that’s modern and easy on the wallet.”

The Patna launch reflects the continued push by organised hotel chains to strengthen their presence in emerging urban centres, where demand for branded, mid-scale hospitality is rising alongside infrastructure development and economic activity.
