Luxury Hotel’s Liability exposed

Just as the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks have had a lasting byproduct on aircraft cockpit security, the deadly terrorist attacks that orchestrated at the Oberoi and Taj Mahal Palace and Tower hotels here left a long suffering imprint on the design and procedures of luxury hotels.

The chairman of Oberoi group, P.R.S Oberoi said that he had actually counseled his company’s hotels to step up security two months ago after a truck driver crashed into the Islamabad Marriott and detonated a bomb that deprived more than 50 people and left a crater six meters, or 20 feet, wide. The Oberoi interdicted anyone from parking in front of its Oberoi hotel in Mumbai; for reverence that a car bomb could abolish the glass wall at the front of the lobby - a jeopardize at many hotels. “I think all hotels are vulnerable – all hotels have glass doors when you step in,” Oberoi said Saturday night at a news conference.

The Oberoi Group had no warning of the attack here, however, Oberoi said, questioning what any hotel operator could do to resist such an outrage. “The authorities have to help us,” he said, by foiling such attacks from occurring at all. The killings also come at a time of already deteriorating demand for luxury accommodation because of the global economic recession.
