Robust Hotels plans to inaugurate its five star hotel property in Chennai by December 2009. The company bought the property as a superstructure for close to Rs 300 Crore and is now investing another Rs 200 Crore to complete the hotel, which will be managed by Hyatt.
The company has roped in Dubai-based design consultant, International Design Studio, to redesign the hotel. The 18 floor property (ground plus 14 floors and three basement floors) will have 334 rooms and six F&B outlets spread over 6,00,000 sq ft.
Robust Hotels is a SPV floated by Saraf Group of Hotels, which owns two hotels in Nepal (Hyatt Regency and Yak & Yeti) and one each in Mumbai (Grand Hyatt) and Delhi (The Grand).
