K Raheja Corporation-promoted hospitality chain Chalet Hotels is raising money at a time when the cycle of low pricing, led by higher supply amid muted demand, is turning. The company, which has a portfolio of premium branded hotels operated by global hospitality brands such as JW Marriott Hotel, is looking to cash in on higher occupancy rates for the sector. The sector, which had witnessed an 8 per cent decline in revenue per available room over the FY08-15 period on higher supply, is expected to see higher occupancies, a rise in room rates as well as margins.
