Pride Hotels Group Signs Pride Elite Hotel Phaltan, Accelerating Growth in Maharashtra
This is an essential phase in the group's aim to increase its footprint in the western region.
Pride Hotels Group has further expanded its portfolio with the signing of Pride Elite Hotel in Phaltan, Maharashtra. This marks a significant milestone in the group’s strategy to strengthen its presence in the western region. Conveniently located just 4.5 hours from Mumbai and 2 hours from Pune, the hotel is easily accessible, making it a prime destination for both business and leisure travelers. This new addition represents Pride’s third property in Maharashtra, following its successful ventures in Pune and Nagpur, highlighting the group’s continued growth in the region.
The promoters of Pride Elite Hotel Phaltan are the owners of Jakson Industries, a renowned name in energy and engineering solutions. Their expertise and backing further elevate the project, ensuring the highest standards of service and sustainability.
Phaltan, located in the Satara district of Maharashtra, is steeped in historical and cultural significance. Once a feudatory to the Chhatrapati’s of Satara, it later gained prominence as a princely state under British rule. The town is home to notable religious landmarks such as the Shri Ram Temple and Jabareshwar Mandir, known for its beautiful stone carvings. Additionally, Phaltan’s proximity to attractions like Ajinkyatara Fort, Fratelli & Four Seasons Vineyards, and the Valley of Flowers at Kas Pathar enhances its appeal to both cultural tourists and leisure travelers, including wine enthusiasts.
The Pride Elite Hotel Phaltan is set on a sprawling 6-acre property, offering 71 deluxe rooms and 4 suites. Each room is designed to provide modern comforts in a tranquil environment. Guests can indulge in a variety of amenities, including a vibrant multi-cuisine restaurant, a contemporary bar, and 24-hour in-room dining. For recreation, the hotel features both indoor and outdoor facilities, a fully equipped gym, and a treatment room for relaxation. The state-of-the-art industrial kitchen is equipped to cater to large-scale events, serving between 3,000 to 5,000 meals per day, making it an ideal venue for corporate events and gatherings.
To cater to the needs of business travelers, the hotel offers a 15-person boardroom with video conferencing capabilities. The banqueting space, which accommodates between 70 to 150 guests, is perfect for conferences, weddings, and social gatherings. The scenic outdoor lawns provide an idyllic setting for weddings and large events, blending natural beauty with modern amenities for a memorable experience.
Beyond the business facilities, Pride Elite Hotel Phaltan offers guests a chance to immerse themselves in rustic, authentic experiences. Guests can participate in traditional cooking classes, witness agricultural activities such as sugarcane processing, enjoy bullock cart rides, or sip masala chai under a mango tree. For the more adventurous, horse riding and sampling local delicacies like zunka bhakar add to the culturally immersive experiences available at the hotel.
Commenting on the launch, Atul Upadhyay, Executive Vice President of Pride Hotels Group, stated, “With the opening of our third property in Maharashtra, we remain dedicated to our ambitious goal of operating 133 hotels by 2033. The Pride Elite Hotel Phaltan represents our commitment to providing unique and enriching experiences through distinctive architecture, world-class culinary offerings, and thoughtfully curated amenities. We are excited to officially launch the hotel in October 2024. The resilience of our brand and the strength of our teams continue to drive our growth, supported by a robust pipeline of future hotels.”
