The two five-star Projects, with a total investment of Rs 250 crore, will be inaugurated on Saturday in Fort Kochi.
Dubai-based Aroma Group ventured into hospitality business in 2008 by establishing a 4-star hotel near the backwaters of Kollam.
P K Sajeev, chairman and managing director, Aroma Group, said that the next hotel project will come up in 10 acres of land at Mararikkulam, near Alappuzha, with a paid up capital of Rs 100 crore.
"The company is also building an Ayurveda Village in Kollam," he added. Aroma Group was started in Dubai two decades ago and now has strong roots in India and Europe.
The hotel at Fort Kochi, built in the colonial-style architecture, has 41 rooms across three categories overlooking the Arabian Sea. "One of the most important highlight of the brand is that the food we serve is prepared using the produce from our own farms which are fully pesticide-free and micro-nutrient balanced," said Romeo Justin, Chief Executive Officer of the group.
The Fort Kochi hotel will boast a premium spa, two restaurants, coffee shop and a swimming pool on the top floor. The speciality restaurant will serve European cuisine, besides Indian flavours.
The Fragrant Nature Munnar, styled similar to the local planter bungalows, is located at Pothamedu. One of the major highlights is that all of its 43 rooms offer unhindered view of the beautiful hill ranges of Western Ghats. This is the first five-star project in Munnar.
Besides restaurants, spa and coffee shop, the hotel houses an amphitheatre too. Fireplaces in all rooms will be certain add on and the spa here will be Ayurveda-centric.
