Touching the new millennium 2000, the skyline of Ahmedabad had been known for very few star category hotels, and Sabarmati peripheral region used to be one key zone to build these Landmark locations.. and attract operators.

The city has witnessed various hospitality brands running properties and then withdrawing operations due various challenges, be it finance or synergy... sailing across smoothly with owners and operators for two decades clearly demonstrates high levels of consistency, synergy and commitment. Besides this F& B is the backbone of a hotel, for this pie in the hotel too Chef Suresh Khanna has been a strong contributor and the longest serving Chef across Gujarat, a record in itself.

"I take pride in being associated with Hotel Fortune Landmark for more than fifteen years at a stretch, this is like a second home to me.

This was mentioned in a book reading session by Sharbari Zohra Ahmed, in her Debut Novel, "Dust under her feet!"
