The 199-room, five-star deluxe hotel, which had a third of its rooms renovated in October last year is managed by US headquartered Wyndham Worldwide. With this, ITC may be able to get its first luxury property in Goa, which among country’s top tourism destinations.

The hotel has more than 1 lakh sq ft of additional floor space index (FSI) available, which will be utilised by the potential acquirer to undertake any expansion, adding new services such as a spa or more rooms or villas and conference centres, among others. FSI refers to the ratio that determines how many floors a building can have. The Ramada property has substantial scope for expansion and is very close to the sea, making it an ideal choice for a luxury hotel operator.
