Toronto-based hospitality chain Four Seasons is set to open three new hotels in India by 2018, according to the Economic Times.
“We have been looking at India for a long time,” said Chris Hart from the Asia Pacific division.
“Now we have one under construction property at Bangalore, one in Delhi-NCR and the third one is in planning and development stage in Goa. So, we now are looking at four tangible projects in India.”
The chain’s hotel in Mumbai has been in operation since 2008. Bangalore is next, set to open in 2015.
Four Seasons will be working with North India realty firm the 3C company for the mixed-use project called Delhi One.
Aside from being a five-star hotel in Noida, the article reports Four Seasons will also offer “180 branded residences in this project, which will be sold by invitation.” Twenty-seven of the company’s 92 hotels spread across 38 countries contain residential components.
“India has a growing middle class. Its population is increasing,” Hart said in the article.
“Also, the number of outbound travellers from India is increasing. So we need our brand presence here. When people travel abroad they would like to stay with us.”
