Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) partnered with Oberoi Hotels to co-manage the upcoming hospitality ventures. The partnership will focus on the three upcoming major projects: the Anant Vilas Hotel in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex, the famous Stoke Park in the UK, and another project in Gujarat. 

The prestigious Oberoi Hotels has been awarded the "World's Best Hotel at Travel and Leisure" at the USA's World's Best Awards 2022. 

The golden duo RIL and Oberoi Hotels have made this partnership with a vision to give the ultimate guest experience in the business. Anand Vilas Hotels stands tall in the bustling city of Mumbai and is one of the first metro-centric properties by Oberoi hotels. The location is becoming an iconic mix of shopping, hospitality, FnB, Spa and cultural relevance and will cater to larger footfalls due to the location's significance. 

"Anant Vilas seeks to augment the hotel footprint of the business district with an iconic experience for discerning visitors," says Oberoi Hotels. 

The second project by RIL and Oberoi Hotels is the famous Stoke Park in the UK. The joint partnership focuses on improving the facilities to give the ultimate guest experience and make it a world-class destination for all. Stoke Park is one of the renowned 5-star hotels in the country with the finest hotel sports facility and has the top-rated golf course- in Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire.

"The plans that will include a comprehensive upgrade of Stoke Park, including golf and other sports facilities, are under preparation," said Reliance Industries Limited. 

The third unnamed project will happen in the busy city of Gujarat and will be managed by RIL and Oberoi Hotels. Oberoi Hotels are known for giving out world-class experience to its guests. The partnership with industry giants such as Reliance Industries will be a winning partnership. We are excited about what this partnership brings to the hospitality industry.
