Chalet Hotels Expands Pipeline with Two New ATHIVA® Hotels in Hyderabad and Pune
Chalet Hotels is adding two new ATHIVA® branded hotels to its pipeline: 150 keys in Hyderabad and 231 keys in Pune. These will be developed under a capital-efficient lease model with Mindspace Business Parks REIT. The Hyderabad hotel is set to launch by FY 2029, and the Pune hotel by FY 2031. This expansion brings Chalet's total inventory, including pipeline, close to 5,500 keys.
The addition of two new hotels expands the company's pipeline and brand presence. While positive, the impact is considered medium as the hotels are in the development pipeline and not yet operational, and the financial details are primarily related to development costs and timelines rather than immediate revenue impact.
The announcement details strategic expansion and addition of new properties, which is positive for the company's growth and market presence. The capital-efficient model and expected increase in inventory further contribute to a positive outlook.
Chalet Hotels Limited has announced the strategic addition of two new hotel developments to its pipeline, which will operate under its own brand, ATHIVA®. The Hyderabad property will add 150 keys and the Pune property will add 231 keys. These projects are leased from SPVs of Mindspace Business Parks REIT under a long-term lease arrangement. The Hyderabad hotel involves repurposing an existing building, while Mindspace REIT will develop the structure for the Pune hotel, with Chalet undertaking interior fit-outs. This capital-efficient lease model defers Chalet's capital expenditure to the latter part of the development cycle.
The Hyderabad hotel, located in the Financial District, will be a warm shell lease and is projected to launch by FY 2029, with a fit-out cost of ₹13.5 million per key. The Pune hotel, situated in the Business District, will be a grey shell lease and is slated for launch by FY 2031, with a fit-out cost of ₹10.8 million per key. Shwetank Singh, MD & CEO of Chalet Hotels, stated that these additions strengthen the company's growth pipeline and will bring its total inventory, including pipeline, close to 5,500 keys. Ramesh Nair, MD & CEO of Mindspace REIT, noted that these transactions integrate hospitality assets within large-scale business parks, adding a stable income stream and enhancing the tenant experience. Chalet Hotels' current portfolio includes 11 operating hotels and resorts with 3,389 keys, and approximately 2,036 rooms under development.
