Real estate developers Emaar MGF, has entered into an agreement with the government of Uttarakhand, for designing, constructing, operating and managing a five star hotel and convention centre in Dehradun. The five star hotel property and the convention centre is part of an integrated facility comprising retail and entertainment space spread across 10 acres of land and has been planned with an investment of Rs 200 crores over 2 years.
Emaar MGF has tied up with InterContinental Hotels Group, Singapore for the management of the hotel and convention centre. The international standard up-market hotel comprising 200 guest rooms will be managed under the ‘Holiday Inn’ brand. The convention facility, with collapsible seating and hi tech projection facilities, will be spread over 35,000 sq ft and will be designed to accommodate over 1,200 people at any time.
The project will be adequately supported by the current airport expansion and the growing demand for hotel rooms and meeting facilities induced by increased commercial development activity in Dehradun.
