Company
Our group has evolved over the years and has rebranded itself to accommodate the ever changing needs of the hospitality sector. Here is a brief evolution of the company over the years:
Establishment and Initial Years:
Our group spearheaded all business and brand under its erstwhile flagship company Prashanth Hotels Private Limited, which had its humble beginnings with a small restaurant in Udupi in the early 1950s and its first hotel, Central Boarding and Lodging, located in Bangalore. The hotel was a unique property which provided amenities and luxuries which was far ahead of its time. In its initial years, the company focused on garnering the trust of its guests and expansion.
Expansion:
In the early 1970s, our group started expanding its operations by acquiring and developing new properties in Bangalore, India. The company's focus was on establishing hotels and resorts in strategic locations, which could attract both business and leisure travellers. The group evolved by acquiring, developing and running the following properties:
Hotel Prashanth - Standing the test of time, Hotel Prashanth, being a new feather in the cap of our group as this 44 room hotel was well appointed with all modern facilities, much ahead of its time. The hotel was centrally located in Bangalore with close proximity to tourist spots and business hub.
Hotel Rajmahal - The Hotel enjoyed the title of being the 'tallest hotel' in Gandhinagar for several decades, is one of the most preferred hotels for Business travellers across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. This 260-room hotel, once catered to 7000 guests a month and stands as a true testament to our hospitality and guest service. The hotel hosts well appointed club class, deluxe, standard and suite rooms along with other facilities such as laundry, Wi-Fi, travel desk, in-room dining, ample parking, multi-cuisine restaurant and banquet facility.
Golden Landmark Hotel - Developed in the late 1990s, is a strategically located luxury 3-star hotel with proximity to railway station and tourist spot such as Vidhana Soudha, Turf Club etc. The Hotel offers 54 luxury rooms along with a host of other amenities such as laundry, Wi-Fi, travel desk, in-room dining, ample parking, multi-cuisine restaurant and banqueting and conference facilities.
Golden Landmark Resort, Mysore - Developed in the late 2000s, Golden Landmark Resort, Mysore is a perfect rendezvous for holiday-makers as well as Business and Leisure Travelers. It represents the charm of the old and fulfils the demanding needs of the present. Although it is a mere 5 minute drive from the entry point to the city and just 10 minutes drive from the railway station and other commercial hubs of the city, yet it is far from the din & bustle. Nestled on the expansive land of Mysore, this resort offers 50 fine club class rooms, 16 luxury villas, banqueting and conference facilities, Ayurvedic SPA, multi-cuisine restaurant, bar and a host of other recreational facilites for guests.
By 2010, our group had expanded its portfolio to include four hotels / resorts across the state, managing about 420 room inventory, massive banqueting and conference facilities, host of multi-cuisine and speciality restaurants, Travel Desk, luxury SPA and simultaneously handling multiple out-door catering services with a team of 600-strong well trained professionals.
Golden Landmark Green Valley Beach Resort, Dona Paula Goa - Acquired in June 2024, Golden Landmark Green Valley Beach Resort, Goa, is the first expansion of the group outside the state of Karnataka. Located at a very serene and calm Vainguinim Beach near Dona Paula Jetty, the resort offers a serene sanctuary for unforgettable coastal retreats. The resort hosts well appointed Club Class, Club Suite, Luxury Suite and Landmark Penthouse categories of rooms that meet the demands of all travellers.
Upgrading Facilities and rebranding:
Constant upgrading of our facilities has been the core strength of our group. As the competition in the hospitality industry is ever growing, we have focused on continuous learning, upgrading, and rebranding ourselves.
By the early 2015s, the group steadily decided to manage properties under one flagship brand name - 'Golden Landmark' and has divested from operations of other units. In line with this vision, the group is currently managing the resort in Mysore and Goa and is actively looking to expand its portfolio in hotels and resorts of similar standing across and outside the state.
