The hotel in Chennai and one of the hotels in Mysore will be launched in 2015. None of them are opening in 2014, as they are still under construction or under design development.”

Brigade Group has a signed management contract for the two hotels opening up in 2015. They are Holiday Inn-Chennai, Old Madras Road (managed by IHG) and Grand Mercure in Mysore (managed by Accor). The management of the remaining hotels is still under discussion with major international operators mentioned Shankar.
