Lords Hotels & Resorts has announced plans to aggressively expand especially in the south and the east and also gradually establish presence in the international tourism circuit. The announcement comes on the heels of the recent launch of its three new hotel properties in Agra, Jammu and Thissur. With this, the hotel chain today stands at a count of 25 properties, including one international hotel, and is aiming at adding another 15 to take the total count to at least 40 properties by the year 2020.
Promoted as true value Hotels, Inns and Resorts, Lords is a chain of three and four-star Hotels, Inns and Resorts. These offer luxurious accommodations and full-service at friendly prices for the discerning business and leisure traveller and are branded as Lords Plaza, Lords Inn, Lords Eco Inn and Lords Resorts.
“Since the formation of the company in 2007 we have looked at growing aggressively. In nine years we have marked our presence mainly in the western region and are increasing our footprint in the north. We recently added a couple of properties to our portfolio in the south including a lavish resort in Thissur. The east has a good potential for growth especially in the mid-market segment and with our strength in this area, we are positive that we would be able to quickly take a lead in the region,” said PR Bansal, chairman, Lords Hotels & Resorts. “Also, after having established our presence in Nepal, we have realised that we are positioned well enough to cater to the international market. We are slated to announce the launch of our second property in Nepal and are also looking at setting feet in Kenya and some other countries in the African continent,” he added.
