Ahmedabad may soon be home to Hilton — one of the most well-known hotel chain the world over. If things go according to plan, Hilton Hotels and Resorts will come up at a prime location on SG Highway.

Ahmedabad-based NG Group plans to partner with Hilton to set up a 22-storey 5-star hotel, which is expected to come up at the site of Gallops Mall on SG Highway. “We have closed the mall, and plan to come up with a hotel at the site. We have tied up with Hilton Hotels and Resorts for the project,” said Narsinh Patel, chairman and managing director of NG Group

He said that the plan was to set up a 22-storey hotel project with 240 rooms. It would also boast of other facilities.

The group plans to invest around Rs250 crore in this project. “We will finance the project with internal accruals,” said Patel. The company has roped in a Mumbai-based architecture firm for design of the hotel. “There is no doubt that it would be a five-star property, but we can not divulge details of amenities as the project is in the initial phase,” he said.
