Espire Hospitality Limited has expanded its presence in northern India with the launch of a new hotel under its flagship brand Country Inn Hotels & Resorts in Jalandhar, Punjab. The newly opened Country Inn, Jalandhar is positioned on the Grand Trunk Road and is expected to serve both business and leisure travellers visiting the city.

The hotel offers 48 guest rooms designed with contemporary interiors and standard hospitality amenities aimed at providing a comfortable stay.

The hotel also includes a multi-cuisine restaurant that serves a range of food options in a casual dining setting. The space is positioned to accommodate breakfast meetings, informal business interactions, and family dining throughout the day.

For events and gatherings, the property features a 5,000 sq. ft. pillarless ballroom designed to host social celebrations and corporate functions. The event space allows flexible configurations for weddings, conferences, and other gatherings that require large indoor venues. Additional facilities are scheduled to be introduced at the property in the coming months.

Industry analysts note that the launch reflects the continued expansion of midscale and upper-midscale hotel brands into tier-2 cities across India, where demand from business travellers and domestic tourism is increasing. The addition of Country Inn, Jalandhar further expands the portfolio of Espire Hospitality Limited as the company continues to scale its hotel network across multiple regions in the country.
