Since the parent company’s early ventures in 2013, marked by the landmark launch of Planet Hollywood Beach Resort in Goa, the group has evolved into a dynamic hospitality player with a growing footprint across high-potential destinations including Thane, Powai and Manali.

The brand’s urban portfolio is anchored by flagship developments such as Planet Hollywood Thane City and The Beatle Hotel in Powai, both of which exemplify the group’s commitment to design-led, experience-driven stays. Strengthening its boutique portfolio, 2025 marked the successful debut of its Manali property under The Beatle brand, catering to discerning travellers seeking elevated mountain escapes.

Further reinforcing its positioning in the elite segment, the group announced the launch of Kings Mansion in early 2026. Situated in North Goa, this exclusive destination is envisioned as a refined retreat, tailored for the ultra-premium traveller, blending privacy, bespoke experiences and distinctive design sensibilities.

Looking ahead, Planet Hotels & Resorts has outlined an ambitious expansion roadmap with upcoming developments in key destinations such as New Delhi, Tirupati, Udaipur and Hyderabad alongside additional markets under evaluation. These projects are aligned with the brand’s vision of establishing a strong presence across India’s most sought-after leisure, spiritual and urban destinations.

Commenting on the company’s growth trajectory, Anand Chatterjee said:

"Our expansion strategy is deeply rooted in identifying emerging lifestyle destinations and curating experiences that resonate with the evolving expectations of today’s traveller. As we scale across diverse markets, our focus remains on delivering design-forward environments, intuitive service and immersive stays that define modern premium hospitality. This journey is not just about growth in numbers, but about creating meaningful, differentiated experiences across every touchpoint."
