Wyndham Signs Planet Hollywood Hotel in India

Wyndham has signed a franchise agreement with JMJ, a large conglomerate with a multi-faceted presence, for the first Planet Hollywood hotel in India.

The Hollywood-inspired theme hotel, expected to be operational by the end of 2014, will be only the second in the world after Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas.

Located on Goa’s southern coast, Planet Hollywood Beach Resort is a 115-room and 15 luxury tent resort situated on the white sands of Uttorda Beach.

Deepika Arora, ‎regional vice president, Indian Ocean, EMEAI for Wyndham Hotel Group said, “We are thrilled to welcome Planet Hollywood Beach Resort Goa into our Hotel Group family and to one of India’s premiere destinations. We look forward to a successful partnership with JMJ and to continuing to expand throughout India.”

Planet Hollywood Beach Resort Goa will replicate the same style as its sister property in Las Vegas, typically decorated with movie memorabilia including props from famous films.

With large indoor and outdoor banqueting facilities, Planet Hollywood Beach Resort Goa is one of the most romantic destinations to tie the knot. It offers an array of services including sunset ceremonies and cocktail parties by the pool.

In addition, the property will feature a mix of boutiques, a fitness centre, spa, pools and yoga retreats.

Sachin Joshi, Managing Director, JMJ group said, "We are truly excited about setting up a world class hotel with a world class partner. The company's formidable scale and expertise as a global brandbuilder will meet our endeavour to further enhance the aesthetic value of Goa. Given its features, we are looking forward to Planet Hollywood being a landmark destination in Goa. The brand’s ‘Let there be fame’ philosophy means guests at the property will be treated like celebrities.”
