Healthy food and beverage business offsets dip in occupancy at 5-star hotels in India - The Economic Times: "Unlike in our central Delhi hotels, we price our F&B offerings very competitively so that the aspiring middle-class customer can dare to come in and at least try once," says Rubal Chaudhry, general manager, Hilton Janakpuri. Five-star hotels are also seeing increasing demand for parties and weddings.
"People today want to get identified and show off, and a party at a five-star hotel does help," says Dinesh Khanna, executive director, Eastern International Hotels, which owns the Novotel Hotel in Juhu, Mumbai and the Majorda Beach Resort in Goa.
While occupancy at the group's Novotel Hotel has declined by 10-15% in the wake of slowdown in corporate travel, the hotel's high-end restaurant Olio continues to do brisk business.
"There is a buzz in F&B even now. Personal spending hasn't been impacted one bit," says Khanna. According to the hospitality industry, there has been no let-up in splurging at weddings and parties at five-star hotels despite talk of an economic slowdown."
