Taj Mahal Hotel Lucknow set for major expansion

The Taj Mahal Hotel Lucknow is set for a significant expansion with the addition of 96 new luxury keys, blending heritage with modern elegance. The project, spread across a built-up area of nearly 100,000 sq ft, is being undertaken by CP Kukreja Architects and designed as a seamless continuation of the city’s iconic five-star property at Vipin Khand.

Overlooking the Ambedkar Memorial Park and Gomti Nagar Riverfront, the extension draws from the established architectural grammar of the existing hotel—classical proportions, restrained ornamentation, and deep contextual references—ensuring harmony between old and new.

Suma Venkatesh, Executive Vice President, Real Estate & Development, IHCL, said, “At Taj, every new chapter is about deepening our legacy while responding to the evolving aspirations of our guests. The expansion of Taj Mahal Hotel Lucknow is a testament to that philosophy—an architectural dialogue between past and present, rooted in the city’s heritage yet designed for tomorrow.”

Ar. Dikshu C. Kukreja, Managing Principal, CP Kukreja Architects, added, “Designing the expansion has been an inspiring journey—one that demanded sensitivity to the legacy of an existing landmark while envisioning its future relevance. The project is a celebration of Lucknow’s cultural ethos while offering timeless, refined hospitality.”

With its architectural language of quiet luxury and contextual elegance, the expansion is positioned to become a landmark addition to Lucknow’s hospitality and cultural landscape.
