Hilton Worldwide has signed a management agreement with Palm Grove Beach Hotels to open Conrad Pune – the first Conrad-branded hotel to open in India.

The 316-bedroom hotel will open in Maharashtra in 2015 and will feature six dining outlets, an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, full-service spa and a salon. Business options feature 16,200sq ft (1,510sq m) of meeting and event space including a grand 8,300sq ft (780sq m) ballroom and a fully equipped 24-hour business centre.

Hilton Worldwide owns and runs 10 brands globally, of which four—Hilton Hotels & Resorts, DoubleTree by Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn and Hampton by Hilton—are present in India.

Conrad Pune will become Hilton’s 12th property in India and its second in Pune, following the DoubleTree by Hilton Pune-Chinchwad.
