A consultancy built by a hotelier, for hoteliers
Westward Hospitality is led by Samson Manohar P M — a career hotelier with over three decades of General Management, pre-opening and operations experience across India and the Gulf.
Three decades inside hotels, now at your service
Westward Hospitality was founded on a simple conviction: that hotel owners in India deserve advisory partners who have actually run hotels — opened them from scratch, turned them around, closed corporate contracts, trained the teams and answered to the P&L, month after month.
Our founder, Samson Manohar P M, has spent over 30 years doing exactly that. From Front Office Supervisor at ITT Sheraton Oman to General Manager at Klase Hotels, Brownstar, DR Group and Royal Southern Hotels (SRM), his career spans five-star international operations, business-class hotels, boutique launches, three-star turnarounds and integrated facility management.
Today, that experience is offered to a select group of owners, investors and operators across India — through five focused practices spanning Hotel Setup, Operations, Business Development, Facility Management and Hospitality Training. Every engagement is led personally by the founder, with the same care he brings to a property he runs himself.
To help Indian hotel owners build profitable, well-run and guest-loved hospitality businesses — with senior, honest, operator-led advisory.
To be the most trusted independent hospitality consulting voice for owners across South India and beyond.
Founder-led delivery, three decades of operating experience, and outcomes you can see on your operating statement.
