TAJ Hotels Resorts and Palaces, the largest hotel operator in India, aims to open four to five luxury hotels in major Chinese cities over the next few years as part of the its global expansion plan.

The Mumbai-based hotelier, an enterprise under Tata Group, India’s premier conglomerate, is set to open its first 106-room Taj hotel near the Temple of Heaven Park in Beijing in the middle of next year. The second property, a resort with around 400 rooms and suites in Xiangshui Bay of Sanya, Hainan Province, will hopefully open in 2012, the company said.

"We’ve already signed two management contracts in China and we plan to add two to three more properties over the next five to seven years," said Ajoy K Misra, senior vice president of sales and marketing with Taj, in Shanghai yesterday.

Taj will initially focus on the luxury segment in China, the company said.
