Leadership’s Comment
“The opening of Regency Palani is a deeply proud moment for us. It isn’t just about adding another hotel; it is about completing a circle of faith. We are now the only hospitality group that can accompany a devotee through the entire Arupadai Veedu circuit. From the first prayer at Tiruttani to the final darshan at Tiruchendur, travellers can now trust in the GRT family for their entire journey.”
– Vikram Cotah, CEO, GRT Hotels & Resorts.
