23rd June 2025, Dehradun: A well-known name in Uttarakhand’s hospitality industry, The Solitaire Hotel, located on Haridwar Bypass Road, announced its rebranding as Pride Premier Solitaire at a press conference held today. This announcement was made by the Managing Director, Solitaire Hotels, Rishi Bansal.
This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter as the iconic property joins hands with Pride Hotels Group, one of India’s leading home-grown hospitality brands, bringing together a legacy of excellence and a renewed commitment to world-class service.
Established in 2012, The Solitaire has been among the first premium hotels in Dehradun, widely recognized for its strategic location and impressive facilities. Over the years, it has hosted grand conventions, high-profile conferences, and social gatherings, becoming a preferred choice for both corporate and leisure travellers in the Doon Valley.
In a strategic collaboration, The Solitaire and Pride Hotels Group have now merged their distinct legacies under a unified brand identity, Pride Premier Solitaire. This reimagined property will preserve the legacy of the original hotel while incorporating the hospitality ethos, operational excellence, and pan-India recognition of Pride Hotels.
The revamped hotel offers 65 elegantly designed rooms and suites that combine luxury with comfort. Guests can indulge in curated culinary experiences at two distinct dining spaces, including Emerald Court, an all-day dining restaurant offering regional and global cuisines, and a patisserie serving fresh bakes, gourmet teas, and coffees.
One of the most outstanding features of the property is its state-of-the-art banquet and convention center, featuring pillarless ballrooms and adaptable event spaces — ideal for weddings, conferences, and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) events. With contemporary interiors, lush surroundings, and a focus on detail, the hotel is poised to redefine hospitality standards in the region.
Speaking on the occasion, Rishi Bansal, Managing Director, Solitaire Hotels, said, “The Solitaire has been an integral part of Dehradun’s hospitality journey. By partnering with Pride Hotels Group, we are elevating the experience we offer, expanding our reach, and creating new benchmarks. This collaboration marks the beginning of an exciting chapter for our team and our guests.”
Atul Upadhyay, Executive Director, Pride Hotels Group, added, “Pride Premier Solitaire Dehradun is a strategic milestone in our northern India expansion. The synergy between the legacy of The Solitaire and the Pride brand’s national presence makes this launch truly special. We are excited to bring our hallmark hospitality to Uttarakhand and serve guests with the warmth, comfort, and consistency they associate with Pride Hotels.”
This strategic launch further reinforces Pride Hotels Group’s robust growth in North India and its commitment to expanding in emerging destinations. As part of its pre-opening initiatives, the hotel is introducing specially curated stay packages, attractive MICE offers, and exclusive guest experiences that showcase the essence of local culture and cuisine.
Mohammed Shoeb, Vice President – Northern Region, Pride Hotels Group, commented, “Dehradun holds immense potential as both a leisure and business destination. Pride Premier Solitaire has been thoughtfully crafted to cater to the evolving needs of today’s travelers, while retaining the soul of the original property. We’re confident it will emerge as a top hospitality destination in the region.”
With excellent connectivity from Jolly Grant Airport, Dehradun Railway Station, and its proximity to the upcoming Delhi–Dehradun Expressway, Pride Premier Solitaire is well-positioned to become a sought-after destination for both short getaways and major events.
