TT BUREAU The
newly- opened midpriced Hilton Garden Inn Gurgaon Baani Square is the second Hilton Garden Inn brand hotel in the country. Cashing in on the location, the hotel aims to cater to the business, leisure and transit travellers in the region.
Rajat Sethi, General Manager, Hilton Garden Inn Gurgaon Baani Square says, “The convenient location of the property is the prime differentiating factor. The hotel is centrally located within the quadrilateral of NH8, Sohna Road, Golf Course Road and Golf Course Extension Road and can be approached from either of the roads within a four kilometres radius. The hotel is a 10-minute drive which is eight kilometres to DLF Cyber City, the central business hub in Gurgaon and is 30 km away from Delhi city centre.”
The hotel is looking at working closely with the Indian travel trade segment. “Our hotel is strategically located for tourists transiting through Gurgaon to Jaipur and other tourist destinations. Making an alliance with the B2B segment, we aim to promote the hotel for the first night and last night destination for tourists transiting through Delhi as well,” he adds.
Talking about the USP of the brand, the GM remarks, “Garden Inn is specifically tar- geted for the business travellers. Being a business hotel, Hilton Garden Inn Gurgaon Baani Square strives to ensure today’s busy travellers have everything they need to be most productive on the road. The features at the hotel include the brand’s signature offerings of complimentary Internet access, 24-hour complimentary business centre facilities and complimentary remote printing service from the guestroom to the business centre.” The 24-hour business centre at the hotel is equipped with state- of-theart audio-visual facilities, which will cater to all needs of business travellers. The four meeting rooms, each with city views and natural light, can accommodate from 20 to 150 people. The hotel offers 18,000-square feet of conference and banqueting facilities with green lawns and a courtyard, perfectly suited for all business events, social gatherings, private receptions and weddings of up to 400 people.
According to Sethi, there has been a tremendous inflow of hotel investments in Gurgaon with both national and international hotel chains vying for their footprint. “There has been a phenomenal surge in number of budget hotels leading to a correction in the prices and average room revenue in the region,” he pointed out.
