Kolkata:

Sinclairs Hotels Limited on Tuesday announced the grand reopening of Sinclairs Retreat Ooty – the 72-room 7-suite hill resort located 2240m above sea level in the panoramic Nilgiri Hills.

The resort, close to the Coimbatore airport, has been extensively refur-bished and has opened in time to leverage the peak summer season which typically sees a spike in tourist arrivals in the region.

Apart from Ooty, Sinclairs’ properties in Siliguri, Darjeeling, Dooars and Port Blair recorded strong year-on-year performance with a 10% increase in topline and 5% increase in profit from the previous year.

Sinclairs’ portfolio will stand enhanced to around 600 keys across 9 desti-nations following completion of three new projects including a luxury hill resort in Kalimpong, a tourist resort with a hotel, club and banquet com-plex in Burdwan, near Kolkata and a 106 room premier business hotel in Kolkata.

It may be mentioned the group recently acquired majority ownership of Savannah Sarovar Premiere – a 104 room upscale operational hotel in Whitefield, the IT hub of Bengaluru. With this acquisition, Sinclairs is firmly positioned to cultivate the traditionally strong business and leisure segments in Bengaluru and its adjoining metropolitan region.
