Casino Group of Hotels has plans to invest Rs.200 crore in three new properties. The group would set up a beach resort in Karnataka and a forest lodge at Tamil Nadu-Kerala border. Further, it plans to develop a heritage property at a tile factory in Kerala.

The group plans to construct a resort at Om Beach near Gokarn in coastal Karnataka. The resort, which would be built in a simple but comfortable style, would follow the architecture of the local villages.

The forest lodge project at Munnar, on the Tamil Nadu-Kerala border, would have 20-30 ‘tea bungalows’ built in colonial style amid tea gardens. Tented accommodation with modern amenities would be set up in the forest area. Wooden suites would be built in heritage style.

A factory at Kollam would be converted into a heritage property, with the construction of 30 rooms within the factory premises.

The Casino group is also building a palace hotel at Palakkad, Kerala. The heritage property with 18 rooms would offer the lifestyle of the Maharajas of the region and ayurveda services.
