Vimal J Singh, Managing Director - South Asia, Louvre Hotel Group, said, Navi Mumbai is being well developed as an extension of our commercial capital. Royal Tulip Navi Mumbai is just about 2 kms from the upcoming International Airport. We are confident that the upcoming international airport at Navi Mumbai would have global visibility and thus we see tremendous potential.''
Suresh Wadhwa, Chairman of Concrete Builders, said, We have a substantial contribution in shaping the country's skyline with developments spanning across residential and the commercial sector. As Navi Mumbai lacks high end luxury hotels, we decided to tap this opportunity and give the city a luxury hotel which shall turn into a landmark product in the hospitality landscape of Navi Mumbai.''
From the new hotel in Navi Mumbai, the company is initially aiming for 50 per cent occupancy in the first year of operation and 60-70 per cent in the third and fourth year of operation, he said.
The room tariff of the luxury hotel begins from Rs 1,800 per day and goes up to Rs 3,500.
Wadhwa also said, "At present we have 1,000 rooms spread across our brands Tulip Inn and Golden Tulip, and another 97 rooms with the opening of Royal Tulip in Navi Mumbai. We are targeting 8-10 properties every year under these three brands and are aiming about 50 hotels by 2015,"
The group is also scouting to develop another two under the same brand in Goa and Bangalore.
"We are looking at several properties in Goa and Bangalore. But nothing has been finalised yet. We hope some concrete development soon," he said.
"We are planning to introduce Premiere Classe that is a three star and Campanile a four star brand in next few months. We may go for ownership of property for these brands initially. These properties will basically be spread across tier I, II and III cities," Concrete Builders Chairman Suresh Wadhwa said.
