On the domestic front, The Suryaa New Delhi recently underwent renovation. “We recently renovated one of the halls. Apart from that, two more halls and the restaurant­s will soon be upgraded. We also recently finished renovating the rooms on some of the floors. Such renovation­s have a great impact. We are giving a fresh product, a new look and feel of what’s happening, which is a constant process,” Malhotra added.

When asked about new properties on the anvil, he shared, “We don’t have any new hotels in the pipeline. We have a land bank and we are doing design developmen­t on that, which is going to take some time. We have a project in Tajikistan as well, which is adjacent to the existing hotel. We are doing a developmen­t study on that as well because the next step will be for people to buy properties in Dushanbe. We are giving full-serviced apartments, where the entire engineerin­g will be taken care of by the hotel, right from a light switch to the paint.”
