Royal Orchid group acquires KRS hotel in Mysore

New Delhi, Sep 18 (UNI) Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd today said it has entered into a joint venture with Karnataka Government owned Jungle Lodges and Resorts Ltd to take over the Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) Hotel.

The property has been leased out to Royal Orchid Group and the KRS hotel has now been rechristened as Royal Orchid Brindavan.

''We will convert KRS Hotel to an exclusive 25-room property with all five star facilities. This is our second investment in Mysore and we see great potential here,'' Royal Orchid Group CMD Chender Baljee said.

We will continue to acquire and lease out properties in tier II cities and towns as part of our focus and growth strategy. With booming business and infrastructure development in Mysore, the need for business hotels continues to be on the rise, he added.

Spread across 1.5 acres and located around 15 kms from the city, Royal Orchid Brindavan will also have a spa, conference room, health club and swimming pool among other facilities.

The hotel, which remained closed for seven years, is currently being restored and renovated by the Royal Orchid Group and operations are scheduled to start shortly.
