DLF Hotel Hilton, a 74:26 joint venture between DLF group and Hilton International Co, plans to build three properties, two hotels - one in luxury category and the other a business hotel - and a service apartment unit in Kolkata.

The three properties with a total of 670 rooms will entail a combined investment of around Rs.500 crore. The company has already been allotted five-and-a-half acres of land by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation. The proposed luxury hotel will have 320 rooms, the business or budget hotel will have 250 rooms and the service apartment unit will have 100 rooms.

DLF group has also planned a 2,000 acres, Rs.3,000 crore multipurpose project at Dankuni, about 30 km north of Kolkata. This will include an SEZ for textiles units, an IT SEZ, one industrial project and a hundred-acres residential-cum-township project with schools, hospitals and other civic infrastructures.

The textile SEZ will occupy around 250 acres of land, while the housing complex will require about 100 acres. Our proposal envisaged accommodation of around 40 small and medium non-integrated spinning, weaving, knitting and dyeing units.
