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.

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.

Meanwhile, ITC is planning at launching six new hotels by 2018. The company will soon open resort properties in Manesar near Gurgaon and Mahabalipuram near Chennai, followed by upcoming premium hotels in Hyderabad, Kolkata and Ahmadabad, slated to be launched in 2014-2017.
