Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels Limited is launching its IPO. The offer opens for subscription on February 5, 2024, and will close on February 7, 2024.

What does Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels Limited do?

The company is recognized as the eighth largest hotel chain in India, boasting around 1,300 rooms that account for 2.80% of the total chain-affiliated hotel room inventory. Operating under popular brands like “THE PARK,” “THE PARK Collection,” “Zone by The Park,” “Zone Connect by The Park,” and “Stop by Zone,” the company has amassed over 55 years of experience in the hospitality industry. It has successfully introduced the concept of luxury boutique hotels in India and offers a diverse portfolio of upscale and upper mid-scale hotels to cater to a wide range of customers.

Leveraging their extensive industry experience, the company has gained valuable insights into market trends and established a strong market position through differentiation. Their hotels stand out by offering unique and immersive experiences, with a focus on design, art, events, and entertainment. The “Zone by the Park” brand, specifically designed for tier 2 and tier 3 cities in India, showcases modern design elements infused with local influences.

The company’s food and beverage outlets play a significant role in generating revenue, with 81 restaurants, nightclubs, and bars contributing substantially to their overall income. This highlights the strength of their offerings in the food and beverage sector. Moreover, the non-cyclical earnings from this segment help diversify risks associated with the seasonal and cyclical nature of the hospitality industry. These earnings also complement the hotel operations by driving occupancy levels, average room rates (ARR), and revenue per available room (RevPAR). Notably, the company’s food and beverage contribution surpasses the industry average, providing resilience to their overall revenues.
