Global hospitality giant Marriott International has officially marked its entry into Upper Assam with the signing of Courtyard by Marriott Dibrugarh. Developed in partnership with Tulip Estates and managed by Nile Hospitality, the property is the first internationally branded hotel in Dibrugarh, signaling a major shift toward organized hospitality in Northeast India’s industrial and agricultural hub.
Located at Chowkidinghee in the heart of the city, the hotel is strategically positioned to serve both the business community tied to the region’s tea and oil industries and leisure travelers exploring the pristine landscapes of the Northeast. The hotel is situated approximately 15 minutes from Dibrugarh Airport, offering seamless connectivity for domestic and international guests.
Property Highlights:
-
Accommodation: The hotel features 75 contemporary rooms and suites, designed with the signature Courtyard aesthetic of functional luxury and comfort.
-
Dining & Social Spaces:
-
Rooftop Dining: A standout feature designed to offer panoramic views of the city and its surrounding greenery.
-
All-Day Dining: A multi-cuisine restaurant focused on fresh, local ingredients and global favorites.

-
Facilities: The property includes a swimming pool and sophisticated banquet and meeting spaces, positioning it as a premier venue for corporate MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) events and social gatherings.

Market Significance: Dibrugarh is a critical commercial gateway for Upper Assam and parts of Arunachal Pradesh. The arrival of a Marriott-branded hotel addresses a long-standing gap in high-end accommodation for corporate travelers and high-net-worth pilgrims.
The Vision for the Northeast:
The signing is a landmark for Nile Hospitality, marking its first Marriott-managed property in Northeast India. The development aligns with the “Act East” policy, which has seen increased government focus on infrastructure and regional connectivity in the Brahmaputra valley.
Vikram Singh Chauhan, Founder & CEO, Nile Hospitality, stated: “The city embodies a rare balance of nature, community, and commerce. This project reflects our shared vision to create a landmark host that reinforces Dibrugarh’s growing significance as a business and agricultural hub of the East.”
Parth Lohia, Partner at Tulip Estates, added: “Dibrugarh is rapidly emerging as an important hub in Northeast India. This is the right time to introduce a globally benchmarked hotel and set a new standard for hospitality in the city.”
