Subject: Case Study – Hotel Feasibility Advisory of Proposed Luxury Hotel in Hyderabad
for Dandamudi Estate
A OVERVIEW
1 Project Overview
The Indian Hotel industry was in a state of paradox as Tier I cities were bordering the danger of being
over supplied with hotel rooms even as Tier II & III cities were grappling with the supply demand
imbalance. Amidst such an environment, cities like Hyderabad still had certain areas which had the
potential to grow owing to a surge of industries establishing their businesses. The larger problem
though, was to operate and efficiently manage a large inventoried hotel within the luxury upscale
space coupled with a nouvelle concept of branded residences. This study examined some of the key
elements of the feasibility study while revealing the decision to pursue the luxury hotel segment and
branded residences as the optimum utilization of the given land area. It also explored the dynamics of
the hotel industry thereby identifying the owner-management operator relationship which was highly
prominent during the period of the study. A qualitative study, it focused on presenting certain excerpts
of the actual business proposal delivered to Dandamudi Estate for their maiden hospitality venture in
Hyderabad.
Company Overview
The Dandamudi Group, energized by a dynamic leadership and committed workforce, is on the fast
track of greater growth with the firm’s composition being:
• 10 proprietary entities
• Promoted 30 real estate projects in 1650 acres in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
The land banks of Dandamudi Group have created strong and long term relationships with major realty
corporate players from India and Abroad. This resulted in the Joint development of large integrated
townships in Hyderabad to cap the growth with credit as one of the richest realtors. Dandamudi Group
is the pioneer in world class realty development with a gated community concept, a first of its kind in
Andhra Pradesh – “Dandamudi Enclave”. It is built in a lush green environment, replicating a US design
in 120 acres. It has been conferred the Best Housing Colony award by the state government.
• Implement realty projects in pipeline for which the progress is in pace with plans to claim 6, 50,000
square feet of built up area to the credit of the Group.
• Promote Hospitality industry under a brand of international fame to build 450 5 star rated rooms.
• Be a developer in infrastructure building for Indian government and Indian corporate, with a
targeted turnover of US$ 50 Million.
In line with the above expansion plans, Dandamudi Group was exploring the development of a Luxury
hotel in Timberlake Colony (Gachibowli Main road) area in Hyderabad. The Proposed Hotel was
expected to become operational by March-April 2017. The site was approximately 11.5 Acres with a
total built up area permissible on the site being between 17, 53,290 to 20, 03,760 sqft while the FSI
allotted was between 3.5 to 4.0. The project encompassed identifying a suitable Branded Management
Operator who would operate & manage the Hotel along with the Branded Residence components.
2 Industry Overview
Indian Tourism
In a country like India, for the poor, livelihood choices – in employment and entrepreneurship – are
constrained by a wide range of interdependent obstacles, ranging from geographic segregation to
Tourism is an intensely competitive, focused, rapidly evolving business sector. The qualitative and
quantitative characteristics of the supply of accommodation have a direct bearing on the overall
success and development of tourism. Therefore, in order to ensure that the supply of accommodation
contributes effectively to tourism development plans and objectives, it is rational that the
development of the accommodation sector should be the primary element of the overall destination
planning process. To understand the definition of the tourism industry, one may refer to The World
Tourism Organization (WTO), which defines it as “the activities of persons travelling to and staying in
places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business
and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited.
While tourism has its positive and negative impacts, it is unarguably a catalyst for the socio-economic
progress of a country. More so, for a developing nation, tourism acts as a key driver for the creation
of jobs, enterprises, infrastructure development and foreign exchange earnings. The earnings from
tourism make it one of the biggest sectors in the world. The sector’s total contribution to the
worldwide gross domestic product (GDP) is estimated to be US$5,991.9 billion or 9.1% of global GDP
in 2011.
In India, travel and tourism contributed INR 3,680.4 billion or 4.5% of the country’s GDP in 20113. In
addition to tourism’s revenue contribution, it also accounted for 7.5% of the total employment in the
country in 2011.
India’s share in the global travel pie has modestly grown by a CAGR of 2.8% over the past 15 years and
today, travel to the country formulates 0.64%1 of global travel. The government of India has taken
some initiatives recently that are intended to promote international tourism to the country and
increase India’s share in the global travel market. Considering the way in which travel has grown in the
past and factoring in the government’s unassuming efforts towards growth in the sector, the World
Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has forecasted India’s share of the global travel pie by 2021. WTTC
The larger question looming now more than ever is that whether India is equipped to cater to such a
volume as the expected number of tourists travelling to India would jump from the current level of
810 million travelers to 1,747 million in 2021. India will witness an increase of 937 million travelers
over the next ten years which is actually more than what the country caters to today. To answer this
question, a recent study conducted by HVS laid down the projection while concluding that the
projected increase in the number of visitors by 2021 would lead to a requirement of about 180,000
hotel rooms in the country. The total investment required to fund this scale of development would be
in the neighborhood of USD 26 Billion.
To explain the interrelation of different players that co-exist within the hospitality market, the
framework highlights the respective entities and their role with respect to a hotel asset. First, the
Owner (any hotel owner who owns the hotel asset) either runs an independent hotel (unbranded) or
associates with a hotel branded operator to manage & operate their hotel. To exemplify the same, let
us take the example of the Asian Hotels (West) Ltd. which owns and operates the Hyatt Regency
Mumbai, JW Marriott DIAL, New Delhi and The Clarion, Bengaluru. Hence, as the owner AHWL is
associated with Hyatt Hotels & Marriott respectively who manage their hotels on behalf of the owners
in exchange of a management fees. The hotels are owned by AHWL and all investments as well as
employees are the owner’s prerogative. Each Branded Management Company would assign their flag
(brand name) and extend all operating and marketing services to the owner and accept relative fees
for the same from the owner.
OWNERS
(Asian Hotels West)
SECOND TIER
OPERATORS
(JHM Interstate)
On the other hand, a franchisor-owner relationship involves the owner to operate its own hotel along
the brand specifications of the franchised brand. In this case, the Clarion, Bengaluru is a franchised
hotel where AHWL operates its hotel with its management team and only uses the marketing & sales
distribution network and the Clarion brand from the Choice Hotels Group. In this case, the Clarion
brand lays down brand specifications and other modules to facilitate the owners to run their hotels. A
significant difference between the two concepts is that ideally franchisor brands extend their brands
to owners who ideally have their primary business of hotels and understand the modalities of the
industry in order to safeguard the interest and image of their brands.
However, owners of different background have the flexibility and can tie-up with a management
operator to run their hotels and manage on their behalf as either they do not possess the required
management bandwidth or they simply intend to diversify their business group into hospitality. The
other entity, second-tier management companies are hotel managers who manage & operate hotels
on behalf of owners much like their branded counterparts however they do not have a brand name
and ideally tie-up with a brand under the franchise agreement. The case in point would be the Four
Points by Sheraton Pune & Jaipur, where the owners (Duet Hotels) have employed JHM Interstate a
Non-branded hotel management company and tied up with a brand Four Points by Sheraton on
franchise contract to run its hotel.
B TEACHING OBJECTIVES
1 Problem Definition
Dandamudi Group was exploring the development of a Luxury hotel in Timberlake Colony (Gachibowli
Main road) area in Hyderabad. The Proposed Hotel is expected to become operational by March-April
2017. The site is approximately 11.5 Acres. The total built up area permissible on the site is between
17, 53,290 to 20, 03,760 sqft. with an FSI between 3.5 to 4. The subject site for the Proposed Luxury
Hotel is located in Timberlake Colony (Gachibowli Main road) area in Hyderabad. The total built up
area permissible on the site is between 17, 53,290 - 20, 03, 760 sqft depending on the FSI (3.5-4).
The site is located in the Timberlake Colony locality of Hyderabad on the banks of the Malaka Cheruvu
Lake, on the Gachibowli main road. It is in close proximity to prominent locations like Hitech city,
Financial District, Gachibowli and Madhapur. The site has a primary access from the Gachibowli main
road and a secondary access from the DPS/Lanco hills road both of which connect to the Jawaharlal
Nehru outer ring road (ORR). On one side of the proposed site is the Malaka Cheruvu Lake and the
other side faces the Wells Fargo & IBM campus. There is an AP Housing board land adjacent to the said
site. The Gachibowli main road connecting to the ORR leads to NH7 and also the airport.
The purpose of this section is to highlight the core learning objectives originating from the assignment
that Cushman & Wakefield Hospitality (CWH) undertook for the client. The assignment had a distinct
scope- to conduct a feasibility study and market analysis to examine the scope of a Luxury Hotel &
Branded Residences development at the subject site. Hence, the learning objectives have been
identified as the following:
• Detailed analysis of the city and understand growth initiatives designed for the coming years.
• Assess the real estate in various sectors i.e. commercial, residential and retail to comprehend
current potential and future growth.
• Review development proposals, trends in the subject site cities, traffic growth, to be popular
areas.
• Review the dynamics of the hospitality industry in the city and analyse the performance of hotels
against it.
• Review demand drivers for the hotel market in detail including commercial space absorption and
leisure travel.
• Estimate likely future growth in traffic, by segment for the market area. This will need to take into
account presently unsatisfied levels of demand and likely future growth.
• Meeting with major sources of hotel business / corporate houses, if required to ascertain the
extent of demand potential in the subject markets by market segment and apply the same to the
business cases of the proposed hotels.
• Understand the location & the suitability of the area for a hotel.
• Detailed location analysis through site visit to scan the location comprising of distance from the
main generators of traffic, road access & development, other attractions in the vicinity, catchment
area identifications and quantifications.
• Conduct a detailed analysis of competitive hotels to estimate the present and likely future demand
for hotel rooms in the city, segmented by class of property.
C PEDAGOGY
1 Data Analysis
The subject site for the Proposed Luxury Hotel is located in Timberlake Colony (Gachibowli Main road)
area in Hyderabad. The total built up area permissible on the site is between 17, 53,290 - 20, 03, 760 sqft
depending on the FSI (3.5-4)
The purpose of market area analysis is to survey and analyse the prevailing market conditions - the
economic order, the demographics, the rate of growth, demand and supply dynamics and trends. This data
is then correlated to understand the environment in which the hotel will be operated. Further, by
understanding the underlying market fundamentals and the existing trends variations in hotel demand
may also be anticipated so that changes, particularly from known demand sources, are appropriately
reflected in identified market segments. The future market behaviour and various financial variables are
then, forecasted.
b. Site Description
The site is located in the Timberlake Colony locality of Hyderabad on the banks of the Malaka Cheruvu
Lake, on the Gachibowli main road. It is in close proximity to prominent locations like Hitech city, Financial
District, Gachibowli and Madhapur. The site has a primary access from the Gachibowli main road and a
secondary access from the DPS/Lanco hills road both of which connect to the Jawaharlal Nehru outer ring
road (ORR). On one side of the proposed site is the Malaka Cheruvu Lake and the other side faces the Wells
Fargo & IBM campus. There is an AP Housing board land adjacent to the said site. The Gachibowli main
road connecting to the ORR leads to NH7 and also the airport.
Area Summary

Number of Rooms 300
Total Hotel Area 28,362 m²
Total Hotel Area (BUA) 305,177 ft2
Total Carpark Area 9,294 m²
Total Carpark Area 100,000 ft2
c. Concept Analysis
The Proposed Hotel is located in the Timberlake Colony locality of Hyderabad. It was expected to comprise
a main Reception Lobby, guest rooms & suites, an all day dining and associated Kitchens & amenities.
Total Area Per Room (including hotel, F&B, Conference, other facilities and back of house facilities) 1,017
The existing supply was reviewed which was likely to compete with the proposed hotel either directly or
indirectly and reviewed accommodation supply that may become competitive to the proposed product
from across the geographical area across of Hyderabad. We then identified them as primary and secondary
competitors weighing them on certain variables like category, inventory, location, brand and rate
positioning in the market.
For the purpose of our analysis, we included hotels across all categories into the competitive set keeping
in mind the prevailing market dynamics. The hotels were categorized as primary, secondary and tertiary
competitors based on the brand, inventory, location attributes and impact it may have on the proposed
property.
Our analysis of accommodation demand was aimed at identifying the most likely sources and profile of
demand as evident from our research and analysis of the Hyderabad and further, in the micro market area.
Demand for transient accommodation typically originates from the following market segments:
• Long stay demand, including guests who stay for over two weeks, generally on business travel.
• Leisure demand, including domestic and international Individual and Group and transit travelers.
We note that the above market segments are purely for the Hyderabad hotel market and therefore, the
Proposed Hotel was likely to operate within these transient accommodation market segments.
Residential Segment
The third quarter of 2012 witnessed healthy enquiries from both NRI investors as well as end-users. Due
to the overall moderate demand scenario, majority of the developers in the city resorted to stable pricing
in order to sustain sales. The capital values in both mid and high-end segments have remained stable
across most of the locations, except for locations such as Madhapur, Gachibowli, Himayathnagar, where
there was marginal appreciation in Q3 2012 over previous quarter due to a relatively higher demand. The
rental values have remained stable across most of the locations except Kukatpally and West & East
Maredpally, where rentals have increased marginally. Going forward, the capital and rental values are
expected to increase marginally during Q4 2012 on account of moderate increase in overall demand which
would be a culmination of effective policy measures taken in the recent past and the onset of the festive
season. The relaxation in the land reservation regulation will continue to positively impact the residential
markets with increased launches in the near future.
Retail Segment
Main street rentals are also expected to remain stable due to moderate demand in the short term.
Demand is likely to go up over the next three to six months as retailers have reduced their space
requirements and are actively evaluating space options in order to operate at their preferred locations.
The overall demand for office space is expected to increase moderately from next year, i.e. starting year
2013 as economic conditions improve. Fresh supply between 1 to 1.5 million Sq.ft. is expected over the
next two quarters which would be between Q4 2012 and Q1 2013. A majority of this upcoming supply is
planned as Grade A developments across suburban micro markets of Madhapur & Gachibowli. During the
same time frame, a modest increase in fresh pre-commitments is also expected as shortage of Grade A
space is likely to continue. Rentals are expected to remain stable till end of the current year.
Hospitality Segment
Although Occupancy and ARRs have shown a marginal decline in the past couple of years, business in the
city looks to grow in the future, especially in the Hitech city, Madhapur, Financial District and Gachibowli
region thanks to the major development in the residential, retail and commercial sectors. The focus of
business in the city has seen a shift from CBD to this region. Major Offices like IBM, Wells Fargo, Deloitte,
Wipro, ICICI, Infosys, Virtusa, TCS, Accenture etc either have or are setting up campuses in the vicinity.
Well known residential brands like Mantri, NCC, Divyashree and Jayabheri have projects coming up in the
area. The 500 acre EMAAR golf course is taking shape in the locality. There is also more development in
the region with major international schools, major hospitals, movie welfare association activities etc.
Hyderabad is a preferred destination in the country for conferences & conventions. It is well connected to
the rest of the country by air, rail and road and all of this has contributed to making it one of the fastest
growing cities in south India. The city is also being promoted and propagated widely by the state
government and has good infrastructure which is facilitating the development.
Hotel business in the city looks promising in the next 3-4 years as all the major developments in the
residential, retail and commercial sectors would lead to more people travelling to the city and hence
occupying hotel rooms. There are 4 SEZ’s identified and announced by the government of the state which
indicates more development. Major international brands like Hyatt, Radisson, Marriott, Accor, Carlson etc
are planning to expand their footprint in the city. Room Nights available in the city have increased by 8%
in 2012 over 2011 and the supply of hotel rooms in the luxury segment in the next 3 years is expected to
The increase in branded inventory would lead to stiff competition between the leading brands and
therefore might lead to rate-cutting. RevPAR has seen a growth in 2012 over 2011 and is expected to
remain positive in 2013. The ARRs in the city are expected to go up in the second half of 2012 and 2013.
The Occupancy rate in the city which is currently at 52% is also expected to improve.

Road
In this section, we assess the opportunity for the development of an upscale luxury transient
accommodation facility. We also make recommendations with regard to the configuration, service
and facility considerations for the proposed hotel, based on our research findings and conclusions as
previously described in this report.
From an identified product gap perspective we conclude an opportunity exists to establish a branded
upscale luxury hotel to cater to three major segments and aimed at capturing demand from transient
international and domestic business tourists travelling to and around Hyderabad. The different
segments that hotels of Hyderabad cater to are:
• Business Travellers
• Conference Markets
• Leisure Travellers
In evaluating the proposed concept and considering the recommended size and market positioning
that would enable the Proposed Hotel to best penetrate the competitive market we have identified
several opportunities and we note certain issues for consideration.
