Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), the leading name in India’s hospitality sector, announced a significant step in its expansion strategy by signing a new hotel in the vibrant Bandra area of Mumbai. The upcoming hotel, set to operate under the IHCL-SeleQtions brand, marks a strategic move in strengthening IHCL's footprint in key micro markets of major cities.

Suma Venkatesh, Executive Vice President – Real Estate & Development at IHCL, highlighted the significance of Bandra in Mumbai’s social and commercial landscape. Known as the “Queen of Suburbs,” Bandra is a hotspot for celebrities, shopping enthusiasts, food lovers, and nightlife seekers. It’s proximity to the prominent Bandra Kurla Complex makes it an ideal location for IHCL’s new venture. This project, a collaboration with Polson Ltd., will be the second IHCL-SeleQtions branded hotel in Mumbai.

The new hotel will feature 43 luxurious rooms and boast an all-day diner. Located on Turner Road, one of Bandra’s most prestigious neighborhoods, the hotel will occupy floors three to fourteen in a mixed-use building that also houses high-end retail shops and restaurants.

Amol Kapadia, Managing Director of Polson Ltd., expressed excitement about partnering with IHCL for their first hotel property. He noted that the IHCL-SeleQtions brand perfectly complements the hotel’s unique location.
