hotels in the region, according to Ajay Rajendran, Vice Chairman, Sobha
Group.
"We have been outfitting palace interiors for a
long time and know all about creating high-end interiors. Our hands on
experience in the residential and commercial buildings, their planning
and building maintenance has given us adequate exposure to Build and Operate
