Be it a swanky bar, an elite coffee shop, basement parking and an elegant façade for Hotel Mountview or automatic laundry plants in Hotel Shivalikview and Parkview — the hotels managed by Chandigarh Industrial and Tourism Corporation (CITCO) will bear a new look by September 2009.
In the coming 18 months, CITCO plans to renovate the three hotels at a cost of Rs 17 crore. The construction of Hotel Parkview's third floor, which will add 66 rooms making it the city's largest hotel with 170 rooms, is already underway. The project is expected to be completed by October.
The main entry to the city's only 5-star hotel, Mountview, has been closed for six months. CITCO has started renovating the lobby and façade at a cost of Rs 6.8 crore. The work is expected to be completed by the end of this year. Immediately after that, CITCO shall initiate the construction of the basement parking, beneath the hotel's front lawns. A new coffee shop in Hotel Shivalikview is also on the cards and is expected to start by the year end.
A sewage treatment plant, electronic locks in all rooms and renovation of the banquet hall and parking is also planned. Rooms on the fifth floor will also be renovated and the terrace will be upgraded.
"A stepwise agenda has already been prepared, the estimates have been cleared and we hope to stick to the deadlines. To start with, a new bar will be inaugurated at Hotel Mountview on August 10," said a senior CITCO official.
