Unveils Exclusive 18 Sanctuary Suites to Mark the Silver Anniversary

Corbett, Uttarakhand, 25th November 2025: Leisure Hotels Group (LHG), North India’s leading experiential resort chain, rooted in ‘Dev Bhumi’ Uttarakhand, marks a significant milestone at The Riverview Retreat which was established at the turn of the millennium in 2000 — introduced all villa-style suites nestled along the banks of the Kosi River. Today, it stands as an experiential wildlife resort set against a lush forest backdrop, with the gushing river flowing alongside, spread across 10 acres of serene wilderness.

To commemorate this special occasion, the Group unveiled its newest offering — The Sanctuary Suites, a thoughtfully designed block of 18 spacious suites that elevate the resort’s legacy into a new era. With this addition, The Riverview Retreat now stands at 110 keys, making it one of the largest Resorts in the Region. LHG continues to play a defining role in shaping Corbett’s tourism narrative, from pioneering the region’s early luxury resort in 1993 to building the most diverse portfolio of experiential resorts.

 “Corbett has shaped our philosophy of experiential travel from the very beginning. As The Riverview Retreat marks 25 years, we are deeply grateful to guests, associates, communities, and to the natural heritage that inspires us to dream bigger and shape a more responsible vision for the future for wilderness tourism.
With the unveiling of the luxurious Sanctuary Suites, the Group strengthens its legacy and renews its commitment to elevating the experience of Corbett’s luxury-conscious traveller,”
Vibhas Prasad, Director Leisure Hotels Group
Thoughtfully designed for travellers seeking elevated comfort with a deeper sense of place, the 18 Sanctuary Suites span 925 sq. ft. and open into an expansive foyer and living areas. The aesthetic draws from Uttarakhand’s cultural and natural identity, with earth-toned interiors, warm woods, natural fabrics, and understated references to Buksa weaving, Avani-inspired dyes, and Aipan motifs offering an environment that feels both rooted and contemporary.
Each suite features a private forest or river-facing sit-out, walk-in wardrobe, rain and hand shower enclosure, double vanity, and premium bath amenities. Guests staying in the Sanctuary block also enjoy access to an exclusive, temperature-controlled pool set against a backdrop of lush foliage that creates a cocoon of calm within the wilderness.
Enhancing the experience is the Gurney House Deck, a signature feature offering scenic views paired with a thoughtfully curated menu. Guests can further immerse themselves in the region through experiences such as the Himalayan Mountain Drive, Corbett Village Trail, guided nature walks, and slow-travel excursions that celebrate Corbett’s landscape and culture.
This December, The Riverview Retreat will introduce a series of guest experiences and CSR-led engagements, building on LHG’s long-standing work in Sundarkhal village through skill development, employment linkage and ‘Vocal for Local’ initiatives.
Guests are invited to experience a renewed chapter where luxury, culture and wilderness come together in harmony reflecting the spirit with which LHG has shaped Corbett for over three decades.
