Summit Hotels and Resorts has signed an agreement to develop a 24-key offbeat retreat in Samthar, West Bengal. The property aims to attract travellers seeking peaceful getaways, nature-based experiences and stays away from crowded tourist destinations. Located in the Himalayan foothills, Samthar offers scenic landscapes and opportunities for slow travel. The development will expand Summit’s hospitality presence while creating another accommodation option for visitors exploring lesser-known destinations in eastern India.
