Malaysia-based Tune Hotels is gearing up to debut into the Indian
hospitality business through franchise and management route by Quarter
One of 2011. The maiden property of Tune Hotels is likely to come up in
Hyderabad or Bengaluru. This will be followed by Tune Hotels’ expanding
in Tier-II and Tier-III locations across India. While the hotel sites
are yet to be finalised, initial properties will be located likely in
and around Amritsar, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Chennai, Delhi,
Goa, Hyderabad, Indore, Jodhpur, Kochi, Mumbai, Pune, Pipavav, Raipur,
Thiruvananthapuram and Tiruchirapally. However, Tune Hotels will not be
investing any capital to develop hotels in India. The company plans to
expand in other key markets such as Indonesia, Thailand, Bangladesh,
Philippines, Cambodia, Vietnam, China and the UK.
Elaborating
on the brand’s attributes Mark Lankester, CEO, Tune Hotels said, “Our
limited service hotels offer a five-star experience at a one-star price

service) that sometimes, guests do not need and should not have to pay.
