Revolutionizing Budget Hospitality: Cygnett Hotels Introduces the "Cozzet Collection"

In a groundbreaking move set to redefine India's hospitality landscape, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts proudly unveils its game-changing venture—the "Cozzet Collection". Aligned with Cygnett Hotels & Resorts, Cozzet Hotels & Resorts aims to bolster small and medium-sized unbranded hotel owners, equipping them with technology, marketing prowess, and business acumen. Despite being the fastest-growing sector within hospitality, budget hotels often lack access to cutting-edge technology and business solutions.

The heart of this innovation lies in the "Cozzet Collection" model. Tailored to address the unique challenges faced by smaller hotel owners, it enables them to harness the potential of advanced hospitality solutions. This model isn't just cost-effective; it's designed to simplify operations and enhance guest experiences.

Extensively tested, this model is already proving its mettle in Himachal Pradesh, a region synonymous with captivating landscapes and serene retreats. This efficiency has triggered a seamless influx of participating hotels—an affirmation of its immediate benefits.

Sarbendra Sarkar, the visionary Founder & Managing Director of Cygnett Hotels and Resorts & Cozzet Hotels, is deeply enthusiastic about this transformative initiative. He shares, “There is immense potential in bringing small hotels from the unorganised sector into the organised hospitality business. We aim to have 10,000 rooms operating under the Cozzet Collection model within the next few years. Our expansion under the brand will include standalone small hotels of less than 40 keys across the country.”

The role of technology takes center stage in this transformation. Cozzet Collection hotels stand to gain from an advanced integrated cloud PMS, booking engine, distribution technology, and revenue management systems—all user-friendly. Furthermore, comprehensive training empowers owners and managers to maximize these tools' efficacy. The model is effortless, designed for seamless operation. Backed by the brand's 360-degree digital marketing support, it also ensures a robust online presence and optimum exposure.

Distinguishing itself from competitors, Cozzet Hotels is committed to financial transparency. Room payments are directly transferred to hotel owners' accounts, a move to fortify liquidity for small businesses.

Inheriting the legacy of Cygnett Hotels, Cozzet Hotels leverages trusted technology and knowledge. This venture enters the scene at a pivotal juncture. With the hospitality industry witnessing an upsurge in demand for structured services, the "Cozzet Collection" caters not only to small hotels' needs but also elevates the overall guest experience.

Amid India's evolving hospitality landscape, Cozzet Hotels & Resorts emerges as a pioneering force. It bridges the gap between unorganized and organized sectors, setting new benchmarks for excellence, transparency, and innovation. The "Cozzet Collection" model, along with Cozzet Hotels, is poised to reshape hospitality paradigms, offering a refreshing perspective to both guests and hoteliers.
