Our read
ITC Hotels is likely to add more Mementos resorts under management contracts rather than owning them.
For operators
ITC Hotels is adding Mementos by ITC Hotels Karjat, a 227-key resort with over 60,000 sq ft of indoor event space and over 30,000 sq ft of lawns, which positions it for the weddings, leisure, wellness and corporate-gathering demand near Mumbai and Pune.
Watch
Another Mementos management signing beyond the 227-key Karjat resort by the next results would mean ITC Hotels is building a pipeline that owners and rivals must price in.
