ABOUT US
A Unique Partnership Between an Asset Owner and a Brand
Juniper Hotels is a strategic partnership between the Saraf group, a hotel developer with a strong and well-established track record of over 40 years, and Hyatt, a premier international hospitality company listed on the NYSE. The Saraf group, led by Arun Kumar Saraf, has had a pioneering role in hotel development in India – it was part of the consortium that developed the largest private sector hotel in Delhi and brought Hyatt to India in 1982. The group has developed over eleven hotels across nine cities in India and Nepal. Their first hotel, Yak and Yeti, was established in Kathmandu, Nepal in 1977 by Arun’s father, late Mr. Radhe Shyam Saraf.
The Saraf group joined hands with Hyatt in 1998 in the form of Juniper Hotels to launch its first and flagship property, Grand Hyatt Mumbai Hotel and Residences (Opened in 2004). This partnership between a developer and an international chain operator is a unique combination of in-depth market understanding, development experience, long-standing brand heritage and operational expertise. It signifies not only a commitment to excellence but also a dedication to owning and managing remarkable assets.
