Hong Kong-headquartered Shangri-La Hotels eyes expanding hotels in India

Shangri-La hotels, based in Hong Kong, point to expanding hotels in India. Five other hotels in India will be open by 2024. The hotel company is expanding sites such as Mumbai, Goa, Kolkata and Hyderabad. Shangri currently has two hotels in the country, Delhi and Bangalore. John Northern, vice president of the Middle East, India and the Ocean, Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, said: “As a gang, we are quite conservative. We don't seem to place our flags in every city.

It's in the right place. We have a large number of Indian clients worldwide in our hotels and we want to have more hotels here. We are also approached by potential partners who simply love the brand. "" Of our 102 hotels worldwide, 18% are hotel complexes. Goa could be a great place for a spa.

We are also curious to meet Mumbai. We also evaluate other cities like Kolkata and Hyderabad, ”he said. Northern added: "Shangri-La hotels and resorts would be receptive to investment in India if the opportunity arose. Eighty percent of our hotels are ours. We have a lot of experience as owners and operators. We don't have to deal exclusively with contracts of management. We have resources to speculate on properties when necessary. "
