LANGHAM HOSPITALITY GROUP SIGNS MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH INDIA'S CITY OF THE FUTURE
Langham Place and Eaton Smart to Open in Lavasa in 2013 January 13, 2011 Langham Hospitality Group, the global luxury hotel operator, today signed an agreement with Lavasa Corporation, part of Hindustan Construction Corporation, to manage two 200-room properties in Lavasa. Under the agreement Langham will launch two of its hotel brands - Langham Place and Eaton Smart - in the hill city of Lavasa. The properties which will open in 2013 will form part of the second phase in the, walkable city of Mugaon. The development's key focus will be on R&D centres, tourism and corporate and educational campuses. Brett Butcher, Chief Executive Officer of Langham Hospitality Group who was in India to sign the agreement, said: "India is one of the most exciting hospitality frontiers in the world today. We're bullish as there are opportunities to expand at multiple levels for the luxury Langham brands and the upscale and midscale Eaton brands which will also have strong domestic appeal." Nathan Andrews, Executive Vice President of Lavasa Corporation said: "Langham Hotels brings significant value to the Lavasa project. Their eco-friendly principles and the calibre of the hotel operations across the globe mirror the values we want to see in our new development." Langham Hospitality Group, the owner and operator of luxury hotels on four continents, is set to take off in India with an aggressive expansion plan which will see it become a new force on the sub-continent. "India is one of the world's most robust and dynamic economies. It stands at the heart of the New Silk Road between China and the Middle East. The trade dynamic between these three economic powerhouses means there are significant prospects for Langham Hotels to expand and become a well-known operator within five years," added Brett Butcher. The first of the new hotels will open in the first quarter of 2011 under the Eaton Smart brand at New Delhi Airport as the country's first transit hotel followed later in the year by its modern, tech-savvy property – Langham Place in Pune.
