The Group plans to build 35 hotels in key metro cities in India over the next 5 years

As part of the agreement signed between Wyndham Hotels and Unique Global Group early this year to launch 35 hotels across key metros in India, the joint venture between both the Groups will result in the launch of the world renowned Howard Johnson chain of hotels in India.

These hotels will target the cost conscious leisure as well as business traveler in key cities such as Bangalore, Hyderabad and Delhi. Also as part of the Group’s progressive schedule, the launch of the Ramada Udaipur Hotel and Spa marks the successful completion of its first key initiative in India. Spread over 13 acres, the resort is located at the outskirts of Udaipur, in beautiful serene surroundings overlooking the Aravali range of mountains.

Speaking on the occasion, Sanjoy Pasricha, CEO, Unique Global Hotel Alliance Pvt ltd said, “The launch of the Ramada Udaipur Hotel and Spa is in line with our planned schedule to launch 35 hotels in the next 5 years across key cities and metros in India. We believe that there is a great demand for budget hotels in most parts of the world, especially in growing markets such as India. It is this demand that drives us to launch the international Howard Johnson chain of hotels in India with the first one planned in Bangalore as early as mid-2013.

Sanjoy added, “India is fast gaining importance world-wide as the country has become an investment hub over the last decade. With the government’s recent announcement relating to FDI we would be seeing a lot of business travelers visiting India which would mean a positive push to the hotel industry in key metros such as Bangalore, Hyderabad, Delhi and Mumbai, where we plan to launch Howard Johnson in the coming years.”

As part of the joint venture between both the Groups, Wyndham Hotel Group with over 7,170 hotels worldwide will offer strategic services that are required to build and commission a hotel. The services provided will help Unique Group build and operate hospitality facilities across various metros in India.

“With the launch of the Ramada Hotel & Spa we are right on schedule to meet our target of developing 35 hotels over the next 7 years in India”, said Mr. Sanjoy Pasricha. “Developing 35 hotels is a mammoth task and it has been a challenging journey for us acquiring all the required permissions for our forthcoming projects.

The Howard Johnson is a well known hotel chain across the world and we are confident that it will meet our customers’ expectations. Designed keeping in mind the cost conscious Indian customer, the hotel will provide world best amenities at the most competitive rates in the industry.”

Budget hotels are appealing to investors because of the lower operations costs needed for a simple block of rooms, compared to 5-star properties that require larger space for a grand lobby, swimming pools and conference rooms.

Surrounded by three big gardens, the entire hotel is built using Tikri stone to maximize the use of traditional materials. With rooms 25 percent larger than those compared to other hotels in its league, Udaipur property offers some great deals and discounts on family vacations.
