Signing comes within a month of the brand’s launch in the country and further strengthens the Group’s leading position in South Asia where it has over 100 hotels in operation in 60+ locations.
This is the first signing as a part of Radisson Hotel Group’s strategic partnership with Ruptub Solutions Private Limited (RSPL) to develop a 150-hotel-strong network of Park Inn & Suites by Radisson in South and East India.
Tailor-made for the Indian market and adding to the diversity of RHG’s brand offering in the country, Park Inn & Suites by Radisson will deliver a warm and heartfelt hospitality experience in a modern yet familiar home-like setting.
Park Inn & Suites by Radisson is developed specifically for the Indian market and is customised to fuel Radisson Hotel Group’s next phase of growth in tier 2 to 5 markets with a clear focus on value maximisation for its stakeholders. The brand’s essence is based on ‘Inviting Modern Comfort’ ensuring that guests feel welcome, valued, and looked after.
The 91-room hotel is expected to open in Q2, 2024, and is currently in its advanced stage of construction. It is strategically located near the famous Guruvayur Temple, which is a well-known pilgrim destination in India. The city is a short, scenic drive from Kerala’s main hubs, including Kochi and Thrissur, and receives approximately 50,000 visitors every day.
“India is one of our largest strategic markets and the development of new and coming locations remains core to the Group’s next phase of growth strategy in India. We are thrilled to strengthen our presence in the beautiful state of Kerala with the signing of our first hotel under the Park Inn and Suites by Radisson brand,” said Zubin Saxena, Managing Director and Vice President Operations, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group.
“We remain committed to our promise of identifying and converting high-quality, quick-to-market opportunities to target the development of a 150-hotel-strong network of hotels under the brand over the next decade with RSPL as our partner,” he added.
“The core thesis of our strategic partnership with Radisson Hotel Group for launching Park Inn & Suites by Radisson was based on the massive opportunity that small towns of India offer. The signing of the first property under this brand in Guruvayur is the perfect validation of that thesis,” said Sidharth Gupta, Founder and Director of Ruptub Solutions Pvt Ltd.
“We are delighted to partner with Radisson Hotel Group and Ruptub Solutions Pvt Ltd to offer a branded product with the promise of quality accommodation,” said Sundaran Bhaskaran, Managing Partner, Sreepathi Durshan Hotels.
