About Savi Hotels and Resorts – A Chain Of Boutique Hotels and Resorts across Rajasthan and Himachal providing comfort and relaxed stays with all modern amenities

Origin – About Savi Hotels and Resorts

Siya Ram Bajrang Store was formed in 2003 starting its business with a café, known as Hang Around Café. In 2007 the firm started its hotel operation. So, we can say that the journey of Savi Hotels and Resorts began in 2007, under the legal name of the Siyaram Bajrang Store firm and the blessings of Shree Shree 1008 Shree Bana Das Ji Maharaj. Driven by the vision of Mrs. Savitri Meena and the leadership of Mr. Vijay and Mrs. Kamlesh, the brand soon blossomed from a single property in Jaipur to encompass two distinct experiences at Jaipur and Jaisalmer with recent admission of two more properties at Kumbhalgarh and Udaipur.

In 2019 company decided to expand but, then came covid, which disturbed the industry at great extent. The Directors halted the expansion plans and waited for the moment to come. In 2023, on completion of 20 years in hospitality, it was decided to expand again but with different plans. The management decided to be asset light company and thus adopted the route for expansion accordingly. The company added two new assets in Udaipur and Kumbhalgarh in 2023 on lease model achieving a 50-50 ratio. The company has decided to expand further its wings across Himachal Pradesh and other states too.

Segment to Operate, Mid-scale

In 2012 the hotel located at Jaipur, its first hotel, was renovated and reestablished as a branded hotel competing in a budget boutique segment with 24 keys. The company’s extensive marketing and reach to the various travel agents established itself as an upcoming brand in 3-star segment.

In 2023, on completion of 20 years in hospitality, the management clearly laid down its 5 years expansion plan with solid foundation of 40-60 ratio of owned and acquired properties. The company also laid focus that it will keep its major hold in the mid-segment encompassing budget range to mid-range hotels across Northern India. The decision of being an asset light company led to a quick search for 2 to 3 properties which company could acquire through lease / management / revenue sharing model. The company added two new assets in Udaipur and Shimla in 2023 and 2024 respectively on lease model achieving a 50-50 ratio with an addition of 58 keys. Both the properties are in mid segment and the core focus of the company still, remains on the mid-segment market with a total of 100 keys.

Challenges & Obstacles

The COVID era from 2020 -2022 was the most difficult phase for the hospitality industry, the very existence of the industry came into limelight. This period saw exit of various brands from the trade. Tough ones kept moving with burden of losses or dwindled profits but survived the phase.

Savi Hotels and Resorts survived the covid phase with meticulous planning, adaptive approach to covid, quick learning of precautionary and sanitisation methods, managing finances. The flexibility and adaptability to the situation were the key to overcome the obstacles. The firm operated with only one hotel during covid (Jaisalmer was closed for one year) with no layoffs. The jobs were given on rotational basis for the willing staff. At times the company operated the hotel with mere 5 -6 staff members. The accommodation of the staff was made in hotel itself. A complete training was taken from WHO by MD Mr Vijay himself and then staff was trained by him as how to handle the covid situation in the organisation. An eye on problems on daily basis and slow and steady planning and execution of strategies were the basis to overcome the hurdle of covid.

The company still requires financial support for further growth. The company MD Mrs Kamlesh Meena says the answer lies how we play with our cash flows and how we indulge with our financial partners.

The firm has, from the initial stages of hospitality, had learnt a lesson “Not to keep all your eggs in one basket”. Savi Hotels and Resorts drive its customer base from various segments like business, Marriages, travel and holidays. The firm has also decided to spread its wings across religious and medical basket and by the end of 2029 this will be visible on the ground.
