Hilton has envisaged the expansion of its portfolio in India, following the signing of management agreements with Embassy Group to develop two hotels in Bengaluru.
The 500 room dual-branded hotel that features a Hilton Hotels & Resorts and a Hilton Garden Inn hotel in the same complex will be located within the 100-acre Embassy TechVillage Business Park near Marathalli on ORR South Bengaluru.
Following the success of Hilton Bangalore Embassy Golf Links and the subsequent inking of the first dual-branded 620-key twin hotels at Embassy Manyata Business Park, this is the third project with Hilton.
The construction of this new hospitality project, which is among the largest in India, expected to begin this year and the hotels will be operational either by the end of 2021 or early-2022.
The announcement reinforces Embassy Group’s strategic roll-out of hospitality ventures and strengthening its long-standing partnership with Hilton Hotels. As per the agreement, the dual-branded property will be developed and owned by the Embassy Group and managed by Hilton.
Jitu Virwani, chairman and managing director, Embassy Group, said, “Signing our third hotel project with Hilton, reflects the synergies and collaboration between both groups.”
“We are focused on delivering landmark hotels that will provide an elevated service for our corporate occupiers within their work environment. As in the past five years, the mainstay of our hospitality foray will be to build hotels and mixed-use developments as a part of our business parks,” he added.
“Our position as one of the world’s fastest-growing hospitality companies has been achieved through great partnerships and we are thrilled to be working alongside Embassy Group on these properties,” said Guy Phillips, senior vice-president, development, Asia and Australasia, Hilton.
“India is at a cusp of growth in the travel and hospitality sectors. We are witnessing positive signs with an uptake in both domestic and international inbound travel,” stated Navjit Ahluwalia, senior vice-president and country head, Hilton India.
“Hilton will continue its endeavour to deliver best-in-class hospitality to our discerning guests as we take rapid strides to increase our presence in the growing Indian hospitality industry,” he added.
“The partnership has helped to strengthen our foothold in the hospitality business. We are very bullish about the Bengaluru market, which is one of the busiest hospitality markets in India,” stated Sartaj Singh, president, Hospitality Business Embassy Group.
“Hilton remains our partner of choice and the new dual-branded property will offer corporate users and residents in that area the best in terms of location, world-class service, global standards in facilities and accommodation,” he added.
