[HD video below] Tune Hotels has opened its first hotel in India.

The 100-room Tune Hotel Ahmedabad, annexed to the newly-developed 4D Square Mall in the city’s Motera area, is well-positioned on the main thoroughfare to the state capital of Gandhinagar and a stone’s throw away from Ahmedabad’s Sardar Patel cricket stadium.

The Tune Hotel Ahmedabad is looking to serve both domestic travellers and visitors from abroad, especially members of the large non-resident Indian (NRI) community from Gujarat settled in places like the US, Britain and the Middle East.

Tune Hotels will have five to six hotels in Gujarat as part of the company’s 20 planned hotels across India in the next three years.

“The Tune Hotel Ahmedabad is our first opportunity to present our services to India’s vibrant and vast hospitality market. Our excellent amenities combine with top-class environment-friendly practices and we are encouraged with the response from our guests,” said Mark Lankester, Group CEO of Tune Hotels.

Apart from properties in major cities – Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai – Tune Hotels is focusing on Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities along with hotels in the tourist triangle destinations of Agra, Jaipur and Delhi.

By the end of 2013, Tune Hotels will have hotels operating  in eight countries. Apart from India, Tune Hotels is set to open properties in Japan and Australia this year. Future projects are also coming up in the Middle East, Europe and Africa.

The very first Tune Hotel, the Tune Hotel Downtown Kuala Lumpur, opened in 2007. With the opening of Tune Hotel Ahmedabad, there are now 29 Tune Hotels in operation globally. There are eleven in Malaysia, five in the UK, four in the Philippines, four in Thailand and four in Indonesia.
