Hikari Hotels, an Indo-Japan joint venture, has launched Niko Hotels, its first property in Kochi. Set up at an investment of ₹10 crore, the business hotel was inaugurated by K Mohammed Y Safirulla, Ernakulam District Collector.
Davis Sebastian, Managing Director, Hikari Hotels, said Niko Hotels is the first in a chain of hotels the company is planning to set up. The 17,000 sqft, 32-room project is a 50:50 joint venture between Kochi-based Indocosmo Group and Tokyo-based Chiyoda Building Management Company.
Niko Hotels is modelled after Japanese business hotels, focussing on cleanliness, comfort and affordable prices. “The hotel is planning to provide ayurvedic treatment facilities as an additional offer to the customers as the traditional Indian healthcare system is becoming popular among the Japanese. A lot of business travellers are visiting Kerala from Japan and we want to club their business stay with ayurvedic treatments,” Sebastian said.
