Hyatt Hotels Corporation has signed management agreements with Brigade Group entities to develop two new hospitality projects—Grand Hyatt Chennai ECR and Hyatt House Bengaluru Devanahalli marking a strategic expansion in India’s high-growth travel and business markets.
Brigade Hotel Ventures Limited will develop the Grand Hyatt Chennai ECR, a premium beachfront property on East Coast Road, expected to open in 2029. The hotel will feature around 200 rooms, five dining venues including a signature restaurant and specialty outlets, a pool bar, lobby lounge, wellness facilities, and large event spaces aimed at MICE, weddings, and leisure segments. “This will redefine Chennai’s hospitality landscape,” said Managing Director Nirupa Shankar, calling it Brigade’s first collaboration with Hyatt.
Separately, BCV Developers Private Limited will develop Hyatt House Bengaluru Devanahalli, a 135-unit serviced apartment project slated for 2027. Located 20 minutes from Kempegowda International Airport, it will cater to the growing Devanahalli tech corridor, offering extended-stay and short-stay options with modern amenities including dining, meeting spaces, pool, and fitness centre.
Hyatt’s Vice President Dhruva Rathore said the projects align with its expansion strategy across key leisure and business destinations in India, citing strong demand in Chennai and Bengaluru.
In Kolkata, such large-scale investments by global brands could trigger similar developments in eastern India. With Kolkata witnessing rising demand for premium hotels, MICE infrastructure, and serviced apartments, the city is increasingly seen as a potential hotspot for future hospitality investments.
