About Oberoi Hotels & Resorts Civil Lines
Oberoi Hotels & Resorts is under the management of The Oberoi Group. The Oberoi Group is a hotel group based in Delhi. It was established in 1934 when RaiBahadur Mohan Singh Oberoi, original founder of the group, purchased two properties—the Maidens in Delhi and the Clarke’s in Shimla. These properties were the seeds he planted that eventually led to a full-grown international fruit-bearer. In the following years after he bought the said properties, his two sons assisted him along the operations as the company immediately recognized the potential to expand bot in India and abroad.
One of the most challenging things The Oberoi had to face down that road was the November 26 2008 terrorist attack. It was one of the two hotels that were taken over by terrorist groups during the Mumbai attacks then. It was a sad day for the corporation when 32 staff and guests were killed in total in both locations during the three-day chaos. After mourning their celebrated staff and beloved guests, they bounced back in the industry and is now a company with 69 hotels under the Oberoi Hotels & Resorts brand and another 69 five-star properties under the Trident Hotels brand.
