Australia StayWell Hospitality opens first restaurant in India

JAIPUR: Australia-based hotel management group StayWell Hospitality announced the opening of its first project in India 'Leisure Inn Grand Chanakya'.

With the opening of the hotel at M I road, iconic Rajasthani specialty restaurant 'Chanakya' was also reopened.

"India is one of the key market for us and we will be opening more hotels in country in coming years," CEO of the company, Simon Wan, said on the launch.

He said the group, which has partnered with Jaipur's Chanakya hospitality for the project, chose the city of Jaipur for foraying into the business in India due to considerable footfall and presence of other key players.

Besides vegetarian restaurant Chanakya, the 52-room hotel will have Cafe viva having wide range of continental foods and a roof top bar and grill.

"Menu of the roof top bar and grill will be on i-Pad and there will be no paper work," Rohit Vig, MD (India)- StayWell hospitality group, said.
