The company, which opened three hotels in India in the first half of the year, is scheduled to open another five hotels by the year end and is planning to add at least 15 more hotels in 2011.

Carlson, which is now one of India’s largest international hotel companies, has also just signed two new hotel agreements in west and south India for the 275-room Radisson Blu Hotel Mumbai Malad and the 110-room Park Plaza Coimbatore.
