Restaurant India News: Sterling Holiday Resorts Launches Avante Hotel in Mohali’s TDI City

Sterling Holiday Resorts has strengthened its North India footprint with the launch of Sterling Avante Mohali, a business and events-led hotel positioned in TDI City, Sector 117. The property is structured to cater to corporate travel, conferences, weddings, and social gatherings, marking a strategic addition to Sterling’s evolving mixed portfolio of leisure and business assets.

Mohali’s growing role within the Chandigarh Tricity region has driven increased demand for organised hospitality infrastructure. Supported by expanding enterprise activity and improved road and air connectivity, the city has emerged as a business and events hub. Sterling Avante Mohali has been developed to address this demand with contemporary rooms and suites, standardised service delivery, and event infrastructure capable of handling both boardroom meetings and large-format celebrations.

Dining forms a central component of the hotel’s operating model. Essence, the all-day restaurant, is positioned to serve business lunches, hosted dinners, and social gatherings. The menu combines Indian staples with regional elements and international selections, targeting both resident guests and event-driven footfall.

The events strategy is anchored by the Crystal Banquet Hall, which is designed to accommodate conferences, product launches, weddings, and social functions. Operational execution and catering are supported by Sterling’s central teams, reflecting a focus on scalable and standardised event delivery.

Vikram Lalvani, Managing Director & CEO, Sterling Holiday Resorts, said, “Mohali is one of India’s most exciting new-age cities—commercially vibrant, well connected, and increasingly important for business travel and large celebrations. Sterling Avante Mohali is built for this rhythm: efficient stays, high-quality meeting spaces, and event delivery you can count on. As we grow, we are sharpening our presence in destinations that combine strong travel demand with year-round relevance—and Mohali fits that perfectly.”

Maninder Singh Marwah, Director, Shining Star Hospitality, added, “Mohali is emerging as a natural extension of the Chandigarh Tricity’s business and events ecosystem, and we were clear that this opportunity required a partner with strong operating depth and a proven understanding of both business and leisure destinations. Sterling’s nationwide network and ability to seamlessly connect corporate travel with leisure circuits made them the right choice for us. With Sterling Avante Mohali, we are confident of delivering a hotel that meets the evolving needs of business travellers, event organisers and families, while benefiting from the strength and reliability of a trusted hospitality brand.”

The hotel offers access to Chandigarh International Airport and Chandigarh Railway Station, positioning it as a practical base for both standalone business travel and extended itineraries into nearby leisure destinations.

The launch reflects Sterling’s broader strategy of balancing resort-led destinations with business-forward city hotels in high-demand corridors. By targeting Mohali’s corporate and events ecosystem, the company is aligning its expansion with markets that offer year-round occupancy potential driven by enterprise activity, social functions, and regional connectivity.
