As part of its expansion plans in India, Sarovar Hotels is planning to launch 16 properties across the country by the end of this year, adding around 970 rooms to its portfolio. Currently, the company is managing 73 hotels in India and three overseas with around 6,000 rooms.
Ajay Bakaya, Managing Director of Sarovar Hotels, said, “We will be opening 16 hotels across India by end of this year under our various brands. The upcoming hotels will be under the Sarovar Portico, Sarovar Premiere and Hometel Suites brands.”
“The hotels will be in locations such as Ahmedabad, Goa, Junagadh, Dehradun, Bengaluru, Dindi, Udaipur, Dahisar, Bodh Gaya, Dibrugarh, Morbi and Jammu among others. Out of the 16 hotels, while the majority will be the Sarovar Portico brand, one at Bodh Gaya will be under the Sarovar Premiere brand and one at Dahisar will be Hometel Suites brand,” Bakaya added.
He further stated, “There are many new opportunities in a developing, aspiring India, especially with huge domestic travel. India remains severely under supplied in hotel rooms. We will see hospitality grow both by conventional and disrupter means.”
