Velan Hotels prides itself on its impeccable Southern hospitality. Born in 1993 in vibrant Tirupur, the company now operates two hotels and four stand-alone restaurants. A welcoming roof and dedicated attention to the needs of their guests means that, the people of this region epitomize the ancient Indian saying “Athithi Devo Bhava” – meaning the “Guest is like God”. Add to this their entrepreneurial spirit, forming a hard to beat combination of innovation and grace. At Velan Hotels, we have incorporated this spirit of entrepreneurship and graciousness to bring you world class hospitality. Our logo - a stylized rendering of a traditional earthen lamp - captures this spirit of a lamp lighting the way and offering a warm welcome. Our flagship property is Velan Greenfields in Tirupur; we also operate the Velan Coonoor in the Nilgiris, the Velan Food Park in Coimbatore, and the Uthara Restaurant in Tirupur. Velan Hotel Greenfields was awarded the Best New Hotel when it opened. True to its name, Velan Greenfields was a “Green” hotel even before it became fashionable to be one: the architecture was designed to take advantage of natural light; the hotel invested in a modern Freon free air-conditioning system as early as in 1990 and was among the very first establishments nationwide to use the vapor absorption system; the hotel has its own sewage treatment plant and the water is recycled for gardening; the hotel made conscious capital investments with the view to reduce water usage in a water starved area.
