Bangalore , May 3

THE Taj Group plans to add two more hotels in Bangalore in the business class and luxury category to increase its room inventory from the current 393.

The Tata Group's hospitality arm, which operates three hotels in the business class and luxury segment, plans to set up one at the International Technology Park in Whitefield and another near the proposed Bangalore International Airport at Devanahalli.

Indicating its expansion plans here on Tuesday, Mr P.K. Mohankumar, Area Director, Bangalore, and General Manager, Taj West End, said this was borne out of the demand for hotel rooms by the corporate traveller.

He said the Taj Group was also planning to promote Bangalore as a leisure destination, as the city attracts largely business visitors.

Mr Mohankumar told newspersons that Taj West End which is a landmark in Bangalore, had been refurbished in the last three years at a cost of Rs 20 crore.

The newest addition was the Tata Presidential Suite, an exclusive place meant for heads of States, film stars and high-profile corporate heads.

The latest accessories with tested security systems and a exclusive pluming pool heightened its luxurious features, he said.
