Getting a Star Classification for a hotel is an important step for hospitality businesses in India. This classification, offered by the Ministry of Tourism under the Hotel and Restaurant Approval & Classification Committee (HRACC), establishes the credibility of your hotel and assures customers about the quality of services offered. Ad Deals Legal Services plays a very important role in helping hotels through the entire process of getting a Star Classification.
Here’s how we can assist you:
Initial Consultation & Requirements Assessment:
We understand your hotel’s services and infrastructure. We help assess whether your hotel meets the minimum standards and criteria required for a specific star category (1-star, 2-star, 3-star, 4-star, or 5-star). This includes reviewing facilities, services, hygiene, safety measures, and guest satisfaction metrics.
Documentation Preparation:
We help gather all relevant documents, such as information about the hotel’s infrastructure, manpower, facilities like rooms, restaurants, bathrooms, and amenities, safety features, fire regulations, and health & hygiene standards. We make sure that the document meets the HRACC’s high standards.
Application Submission:
We assist you in filling out the online application for star classification on the Ministry of Tourism’s portal. We ensure that all information required is submitted correctly and in time.
Inspection & Coordination with Authorities:
After you submit your application, the HRACC will inspect your hotel. Our team coordinates with the authorities, providing any additional information or clarifications that may be required. We also ensure that the inspection process goes smoothly and your hotel meets all necessary criteria during the evaluation.
Objections/Requests for Modifications:
In case there are objections or requests for modification by the HRACC, we work on your behalf to make the necessary changes in your property or services to meet the required standards. This includes things like upgrading amenities, improving cleanliness, or adding necessary facilities.
Post-Approval Compliance:
Once your hotel has received its star classification, we provide post-approval support to help you maintain compliance with ongoing standards. This will ensure that you retain your star rating and avoid penalties or revocation.
The process for the issuing of a Star Classification is usually 60 to 90 days. However, the real timeline depends on many factors; among them are hotel size and facilities: large-sized hotels with a wide number of amenities will require some more time to be examined and assessed.
Application completeness: If the initial application is complete and accurate, the process moves faster. Any errors or missing documents can delay approval.
Inspection scheduling: The Ministry of Tourism schedules an on-site inspection after submission to check the standards of the hotel. This may take a few weeks depending on the inspection team’s availability and your location.
