Together, the promoters bring a total of 40 years of experience in the garment export and real estate business and have recently diversified into hospitality.

“A twenty-year dream of having an unconventional yet charming place for business travellers seems most relevant in today’s scenario where everything is changing so rapidly, couldn’t have been a better time to realise a long-standing vision. It feels very special and satisfying” said Gupta, Chairman, Gupta Group of Companies.

“Our work in the European fashion industry exposed us to several boutique and unique hotels all over continental Europe. We felt that Chennai deserved a hotel inspired by cutting-edge international design combined with nouveau F&B concepts catering to the discerning, widely travelled guest. 

AccorHotels is a wonderful partner with their owner friendly and customer first ethos. We are extremely happy with the outcome and hope to give our guests an incredible experience” said, Ashish Gupta, MD, AG hospitalities.

Chennai is fast becoming a key market fuelled by both strong business and leisure traveller growth in an improving economic climate. It forms an integral piece of our densification strategy to become leaders in the market segments we operate in. We look forward to making all our guests ‘Feel Welcome’,” said Jean-Michel Cassé, COO, India and South Asia, AccorHotels.
