New Delhi: Dawnay Day Hotels India plans to soon open four-star category hotels in Bangalore, Chennai, Coimbatore and Nagpur, the Managing Director, Mr Madeep S. Lamba, announced.

In an informal interaction with newspersons, Mr Lamba said the hotels in South India would have around 150 rooms each. “We are in various stages of tying up for the properties in South India and these should become operational in 2010-11.

The properties like the others being planned around the country will be in the city centre,” Mr Lamba said. The promoters plan to charge between Rs 4,500 and Rs 5,000 a night at each of these hotels.
