With its well-connected location, resort facilities and focus on leisure, wellness, celebrations and events, the property will add a new dimension to our offering in Karnataka while bringing Radisson Hotel Group’s global hospitality expertise to Coorg,” said Nikhil Sharma, Managing Director & COO, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group.
