AUSTRALIA-BASED StayWell Hospitality Group which is present in India with two properties in their budget segment, Leisure Inn, in Gurgaon and Jaipur, took another step towards a more involved expansion in India with the launch of the first Park Regis property in Jaipur recently.
Park Regis Jaipur, a four star property, on Amer Road, is located close to Jal Mahal, 30 minutes from Jaipur International Airport and 15 minutes from the railway station. The property offers a basic room which is 270 sq. feet, with suites measuring 410 sq feet in size.
Debarshi Sanyal, General Manager of the hotel in an exclusive conversation with BW Hotelier shared that the hotel currently has 72 rooms and he is looking to expand this number by 10 more by the end of the year. Speaking on the banqueting arrangements and other facilities he said, ’We have indoor banqueting space for 150 people and outdoor banqueting space for 550 people. The hotel currently features two restaurants Anand and Palm, which cater to Indian, Mughlai and world cuisines. The staff to room ratio is 2:1 and the executive chef of the hotel is Deepankar Mandal.’
In an exclusive conversation with BW Hotelier Rohit Vig, Managing Director of StayWell Hospitality Group in India (see photos) shared the plans, ’By mid-October 2015, we will be launching a Leisure Inn in Banajara Hills which will be a 90-room hotel with Telengana’s only revolving restaurant. By December we plan to open our second Park Regis in North Goa which will have 120 rooms with a minimum room size of 55 sq. meters--the biggest Park Regis room in the world.’
Speaking on the overall expansion plans of the group Vig stated that ’We have signed 10 hotels and look forward to sign 15 more by in the next two years. The first 10 hotels are difficult to establish, but as we grow in India, I can say we will be signing a new hotel every 3 months.’
When asked about the location of the upcoming hotels, Vig said the group had planned two properties in Mumbai and one in Chennai, as these are key feeder markets for business. After this, the group would shift focus to Kolkata and Bangalore. The StayWell group also hopes to establish a few properties in South India as well. Vig told us that the group’s strategy was to either rebrand existing hotels, or start greenfield projects.
