Swosti Education Foundation to start hotel management institute in Bhubaneshwar by July 2013

Swosti Education Foundation, the education arm of Bhubaneshwar-based Swosti Hotel Group, is looking at starting a hotel management institute, which will share its campus with Swosti Premium Bhubaneshwar hotel, by July 2013. The institute will offer diploma and degree courses in hospitality and will be affiliated to Utkal University of Culture, Bhubaneshwar. This information was revealed by Pradeep Kumar Vaid, Vice President Operations, Swosti Group.

Talking about the expansion plans of Swosti Hotel Group, Vaid said, “We have land banks in Puri, Chilka and Satapada in Odisha. We are looking at coming up with hotels and resorts at these destinations soon. Since these locations are nearby the lake area, we are awaiting for the Central Government’s approval for these locations. Once we get the approval, we shall start the construction.” In addition, the group is looking at taking up management contracts of hotels, he added. “Initially, we would like to start with Odisha and then move to other cities where we have our regional offices,” he said.

Recently, Swosti Hotel Bhubaneshwar, a premium boutique hotel, has added a pub, Oceana, with 45 covers; family restaurant, Aqua, with 79 covers, spread on 1,700 sq feet of land with a private dining area; and a 24X7 coffee shop, Galeria, at the lobby level. Of the 54 rooms, 27 rooms have been recently refurbished, while the remaining half will be completed by October next year.
