Who we are
1990
Established
Mysuru
Home city
The acclaimed SAN Group of Hotels — a highly rated chain of hotels and restaurants in the city of Mysore, Karnataka — was founded by Sri Nagaraj Prasad, a figurehead of the hotel industry and the Chairman of the SAN Group of Hotels, Mysore.
Established during a period of challenge for the hotel industry, our founder put in an immense amount of effort towards creating his hotels alongside his sons Mr. Sunil Kumar and Mr. Anil Kumar. Our founder's vision quickly gained support from the town's people and brought in many well-known corporate clients and businessmen from various regions of India.
On August 15, 1990, the Maurya Palace, a hotel with AC and Non-AC rooms, opened its doors to the public. Along with his hotel, our founder opened one of the finest multi-cuisine restaurants called Jewel Rock, a true jewel for Mysoreans. The SAN Group brought in specialised chefs from all across the continent to create mouth-watering delicacies for the people of Mysore — North Indian, Chinese, tandoor and continental cuisine, with a speciality in pastries and desserts. The 88-seater restaurant includes a well-stocked bar on the mezzanine floor with a variety of cocktails and mocktails.
The father and son duo became popularly known for their personalised service, connecting with customers and creating a happy environment. The Maurya Palace attracted tourists from all over the world, located as it is near the famous Mysore Palace.
Growing with Mysuru
2000
In the 90s, Mysore started to grow rapidly and our founder's hotel was overflowing with customers. In 2000 the SAN Group introduced the first vegetarian restaurant to the city — Veg Kourt — a 68-seater serving thalis and à la carte with tandoor, Chinese, North Indian and South Indian specialities. Above it opened The Maurya Residency: 24 rooms with modern amenities and luxury facilities.
Peacock Hall
Above the Maurya Palace is the Peacock Hall, a 150-capacity rooftop area that hosts parties, overlooking the breathtaking view of Chamundi Hills.
Grand Maurya
After two years of hard work, the Chairman built the Grand Maurya Resort — 30 beautiful cottages, banquet halls and outdoor dining hosting a thousand people for birthdays, marriages, engagements, receptions and corporate events, across three acres of lawns with an outdoor pool, indoor gym and a multi-cuisine restaurant serving tandoor, Chinese and North Indian delicacies.
Beyond hotels
SAN Group further ventured into catering with SAN Hospitality and Services, and now successfully caters to a large number of parties, events, weddings and conferences. The latest addition to the chain is The Coastal Jewel, a multi-cuisine restaurant specialising in coastal food while serving Indian, tandoor and Chinese alongside. Resorts at The Kaduhithlu and Streamedge Sakleshpur extend the SAN experience into nature.
With a main focus on quality service and customer satisfaction, SAN Group continues to strive forward and upwards in fulfilling our founder's vision — affordable, world-class hospitality for the people of Mysore.
