General manager of Hyatt Place Candolim Rajesh Malliya gives us insider information about the hotel and what makes it stand out

It’s been two years since American chain Hyatt opened its

select-service brand Hyatt Place in Candolim. Since then, it’s stolen recognition from the hundreds of new hotels in Goa, and earned the Best New Hotel of the Year title in HICSA’s (Hotel Investment Conference South Asia) upper mid-market hotels segment last year.

At its helm is general manager Rajesh Malliya, who took an unusual path to the hospitality industry. He graduated with a specialisation in chemistry, eventually switching careers to follow his true calling.
