How Many New Hotel Rooms Is Prestige Hospitality Adding?

PRESTIGE HOSPITALITY VENTURES Ltd. is adding 2,509 rooms to its inventory through ongoing and upcoming projects, according to an Economic Times report. The pipeline includes three ongoing projects with 951 keys and nine upcoming projects with 1,558 keys across seven Indian cities.

This makes PVHL one of the largest private hotel asset owners and developers in South India by total key count, the report said.

The company’s projects are concentrated in India’s top 10 hospitality markets, where demand is driven by business activity, tourism and connectivity. Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Goa, Chennai and Hyderabad together accounted for 59 percent of India’s air traffic and 46 percent of hotel key supply in fiscal year 2024. Its location strategy focuses on identifying micro-markets near airports, business districts, industrial areas and tourism zones.

The portfolio includes convention centre hotels, business hotels, extended stay service residences and golf resorts. The company has operating arrangements with brands owned by Marriott International, including St. Regis, Edition Hotels, Resorts & Suites, W Hotels, JW Marriott Hotels & Suites, Marriott Marquis Hotels, Marriott Hotels, Sheraton Hotels & Resorts, Autograph Collection Hotels, Tribute Portfolio Hotels & Resorts, Moxy Hotels, Aloft Hotels and Marriott Executive Apartments.
