NE’KA + PARTNERS has announced the addition of Lemon Tree Premier Raipur to its growing hospitality portfolio, strengthening its presence in Central India’s emerging business and travel market.
The upcoming 78-room upscale hotel will be operated by Carnation Hotels and is located approximately 7 kilometres from Swami Vivekananda Airport in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. The property is being developed to cater to both business and leisure travellers visiting the city.
The hotel will include premium accommodation, a multi-cuisine restaurant, banqueting and conference facilities, wellness amenities including a spa and fitness centre, a swimming pool, and rooftop leisure spaces.
The project reflects the growing demand for branded hospitality assets in Tier-2 cities that are witnessing infrastructure growth, increasing corporate activity, and rising travel demand, while quality room supply in several markets continues to remain limited.

The company’s portfolio includes Filmcity, branded hotels, luxury residences, landmark thematic wedding venues, and experiential mixed-use developments.
With over 25 years of experience in experiential weddings and celebrations, the company brings a design-led approach to hospitality development, working across spatial planning, guest experiences, and venue functionality.
NE’KA + PARTNERS also leads architecture and design mandates for its projects in collaboration with global and international design firms, including partnerships with a few pre-qualified architectural & Design Houses, alongside other technical specialist partners. Neelabh Kapoor, Regional Director for Forrec in India, focuses on thematic experience design for amusement parks, entertainment parks, wildlife & wellness Retreats, Film City projects & more.
The company stated that development capital for its projects is backed through Family Investment Offices, AIFs, and institutional funds, while its pipeline includes title-cleared and approved land parcels across multiple locations in India.
