Kufri: Atmosphere Core, a prominent name in global hospitality, has announced a significant strategic collaboration with Satyadeo Hospitality Private Limited to introduce a new luxurious boutique resort, ATMOSPHERE KUFRI, in the scenic Himalayan hill station. Slated for a grand opening in the first quarter of 2026, the resort will be nestled on the Himalayan slopes, offering breathtaking views just a short drive from Shimla, the capital of Himachal Pradesh.
This partnership marks a key step in Atmosphere Core’s ambitious expansion strategy across India, with a particular emphasis on developing premium experiences in coveted hill station destinations.

Operating under the distinguished ATMOSPHERE sub-brand, ATMOSPHERE KUFRI’s initial phase will boast 58 luxurious keys, including deluxe rooms, suites, and presidential suites. The resort plans to expand its inventory to 100 rooms in its second phase. Guests can anticipate panoramic views of the snow-clad Himalayan mountains and lush greenery, creating a serene and immersive ambiance.
The resort promises an exceptional culinary journey, featuring a vibrant all-day dining venue with outdoor seating, a specialty restaurant dedicated to northern Indian flavors, a cozy in-house bakery, an elegant lounge, and a stylish bar. Wellness offerings will be anchored by the award-winning ELE|NA spa, which will provide tranquil therapy rooms with stunning views of the Himalayan landscape, ideal for rejuvenation.
