"The company is looking to expand its assets across the country with strategic acquisitions of distressed hotel assets. We are excited about the hotel landscape. Given the strong demand and increase in domestic travel, we expect the industry and our ARRs to grow significantly," K Ravinder Reddy, managing director of Viceroy Hotels, said.

Viceroy Hotels owns two hotels—Marriott and Courtyard by Marriott—on a 4.5-acre freehold land parcel on Tank Bund in the heart of Hyderabad near the new secretariat. Together, the hotels have 409 operational rooms, with infrastructure in place to increase inventory to 493 rooms, according to a press release.
