Dubai-based Jumeirah Group is set to open its first property in India by 2019, the Press Trust of India reports.
The hotel, originally set for a 2017 opening, will be located in the Lower Parel district of Mumbai as part of a major new development in the area.
When complete, the property will comprise 470 rooms, suites and serviced apartments, a wide range of restaurants and bars, extensive conference, wedding, banqueting and meeting facilities and a Talise spa.
Jumeirah Group president and chief executive officer Gerald Lawless said: “The company is also in talks with our partner for potential development of a property in Goa. India is a market where people are aware of our group as they know our hotels and brands.”
