Araiya Hotels and Resorts, led by the vision of Amruda Nair, granddaughter of Captain C.P Krishnan Nair of Leela Hotels, is making waves in the Indian hospitality industry. Despite being a relatively new player, the company boasts of a legacy in hospitality spanning generations infused with a fresh perspective and a commitment to excellence.
Araiya Hotels and Resorts Chief Operating Officer Murlidhar Rao reflected on the journey thus far, emphasising the company’s deep-rooted hospitality heritage. “While the onset of Covid presented challenges, our resilience and dedication to quality prevailed. Araiya Palampur stands as a testament to our commitment to excellence, setting the stage for our future endeavours,” stated Murlidhar.
Central to Araiya’s success is an unwavering focus on aligning with owner expectations while leveraging operational expertise to exceed guest satisfaction. With a robust foundation in operations, encompassing core brand standards, sales, marketing, technology, and guest engagement, Araiya ensures a seamless experience across all touchpoints.
Looking ahead, Araiya Hotels and Resorts is set to embark on an ambitious expansion journey. The upcoming Alibaug project, featuring the Araiya Spa in collaboration with Avas Wellness, showcases the brand’s innovative approach to holistic hospitality. Additionally, projects such as Soul by Araiya in Dharamsala and a boutique hotel in Kannur underscore the company’s commitment to diversifying its portfolio.
Expanding beyond the Indian shores, Araiya Hotels and Resorts is set to make its mark in international destinations, including Maldives and Sri Lanka. With a keen eye on the midscale market, the brand remains steadfast in delivering unparalleled guest experiences, irrespective of location or property type.
“Whether it’s a serene resort or a bustling city hotel, our goal remains consistent: to evoke the unmistakable Araiya experience,” affirmed Murlidhar Rao.
