India Real Estate Monitor

Mumbai, Apr 16 With the end of its association with The Oberoi group, Hilton Hotels Corporation is on top gear to make a comeback in the Indian market. The company today has not even a single property in the country courtesy the fallen apart tie-up with The Oberoi Group. Now, left all alone in the burgeoning industry, Hilton is firing from all cylinders.

The hospitality group is not only looking at bringing a full bouquet of hotels, better called – The Hilton Family of Hotels – to India but also partnering with more than one real estate company. “We are in negotiations with real estate players in the country,” said a source close to the development. Hilton has a joint venture with real estate company DLF Limited for setting up hotels in the country called DLF-Hilton Hotels, which became the reason behind the end of a four-year-long relationship between the Oberoi Group and  the Hilton.. The alliance between The Oberoi Group and  the Hilton came to an end on April 1, 2008.
