Zo Selections, a premium hospitality vertical under its parent business Zo World, was introduced by hospitality brand Zostel, and its first facility opened in Jaipur. The property has workstations, common areas, jacuzzi suites, and private rooms.
Since its founding in 2013, Zostel has expanded from a 24-bed hostel in Jodhpur to a network of almost 5,000 beds spread throughout India, Nepal, and Thailand. Over 5 million journeys have been tracked throughout its facilities, according to the business.
Zo Selections caters to tourists who have outgrown dorms yet still want to socialize while visiting. The Jaipur hotel has sundowners, workshops, bonfires, and an on-site restaurant called Amaano that serves Rajasthani food.
Zostel’s hospitality portfolio, which already comprises Zostel Plus, Zostel Homes, and Zo House, is expanded by the new vertical. The business intends to open its next Zo Selections store in Gokarna, with locations to follow in Mussoorie, Pench, and Lonavla.
The introduction coincides with Zo World’s network expansion in the hospitality industry. In addition to expanding into Europe through Safestay, Zostel recently inaugurated its 100th property and its first location abroad in Phuket. Zo World is entering the luxury hotel market with a target of 10,000 beds.
