Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), the operator of Taj brand of hotels, has signed a sub-license agreement with GMR Goa International Airport (GGIAL) to build a 300-room Ginger hotel in Goa.
The 60-year agreement was signed between GGIAL and Roots Corporation (RCL), a wholly owned subsidiary of IHCL.
The hotel, slated to open in 2027, will be built at Manohar International Airport in Goa, the company said in a statement.
Ginger is IHCL’s affordable brand of hotels.
“With the rapidly growing country’s airport infrastructure, the signing of a Ginger at the new Manohar International Airport, Goa, is in line with IHCL’s growth plan of being present across key transit hubs. This will be the third large-format Ginger hotel at an international airport after Mumbai and Bengaluru, catering to the growing demand that these nodal centres generate,” IHCL MD & CEO Puneet Chhatwal said.
The 300-key hotel, spread over two acres, will be a part of the aero-city development.
With the addition of this hotel, IHCL will have 15 hotels in Goa, including four under development.
