Four Seasons Hotels to Have Four New Properties in India by 2015

Luxury hotel group Four Seasons, said Monday it will have four new properties in India within the next five years as part of its strategy to tap the resurgent hospitality sector in the country. The Canada-headquartered chain, part owned by Microsoft founder Bill Gates, said it will add over a 1,000 rooms to its inventory and focus both on the leisure and business segments.

While the two hotels at Bangalore and Gurgaon will focus on the business segment, the resorts will cater for the leisure sector, he added. The group started its operations in India in 2008 and currently runs a mid-sized luxury boutique in Mumbai with 202 rooms.

Four Seasons, promoted jointly by Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Saudi Arabia’s Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, currently operates 86 hotels across the globe.
