Kamla Hotels’ Mendocino Hotel and Hill House Inn, both in Mendocino, CA, exhibit Kamla’s unique ability to own, manage and operate hotels in a dramatic Northern California coastal community like Pacifica. With incredible attention to detail and focused on a “lasting guest experience”, these hotels are also examples of Kamla’s focus on locally managing and operating its properties. Its growing portfolio of Marriot International branded hotels throughout Southern California reflects Kamla’s ability to execute on its vision of bringing a Marriott hotel to pacifica.
Architects Oranges’ landmark projects, Little Italy, San Diego, The Village at Bella Terra, Huntington Beach and Long Beach City Plaza, Long Beach, typify AO’s ability to create a transformative vision that integrates nature, indigenous design and materials and community into a destination hotel/mixed use development.
Robert Gilmore is a unique blend of master planned community developer and economic developer. Rob’s vision and execution led to a workable/livable community in Valencia and the Newhall Ranch. As an economic developer he translated a community’s vision of the future into Culver City’s “Economic Development Implementation Plan”, adopted in 2014.
Kamla Hotels’ development teams vision is to provide an estimated 120-130 room, Marriott International branded destination hotel catering to the business and leisure traveler seeking a Northern California Coastal experience. While breathing the fresh ocean air guests will also enjoy: Close proximity to downtown San Francisco, Silicon Valley and San Francisco Airport Access to Oakland and other Bay Area locales via Bay Area Rapid Transit A classic coastal experience without “breaking the bank” Hiking, biking and surfing in and around Pacifica Shopping along the redeveloped Palmetto Avenue pedestrian mall
This project would provide enormous benefits to the City including: A hotel befitting a customer price point that does not currently exist in the City Generating additional Transient Occupancy Taxes Generating permanent and temporary employment opportunities Increase in property tax revenue and BID assessments
We thank you for the opportunity to provide Kamla Hotels’ qualifications. Request for Qualifications Submittal Requirements

A. Describe Developer/Operator Vision for the Site Answer: Kamla Hotels’ Team has reviewed the site dynamics and crafted a two-option vision: Hotel anchored mixed-use plaza with the hotel as the main component occupying a majority of the GLA in the southwest corner of the site. Pacifica Public Library, as proposed, at the northeast portion of the site. Repurpose the Administration building to commercial retail space. Attract specialty retail, boutiques, cafes and restaurant tenants along Beach Blvd at Palmetto Avenue and to the interior of the plaza. Central parking area with access driveways to all perimeter streets. Pedestrian friendly village streetscape Supplemental subterranean parking, as needed, at the northeast quadrant of the site. Wrap existing pump station with decorative wall and gates. 3-level hotel, or 2-level above one level of retail. Marriott International branded hotel in the range of 100-110 hotels rooms, of the all-suites variety, catering to the business and leisure traveler. Our vision is a uniquely designed hotel utilizing local materials and accents, blending with the natural setting of the Pacifica community and maximizing the views of the coast and the mountains. Or, Similar to the above, but an option with more GLA dedicated to a 3-level hotel above retail up to 45’. Ground level will be retail with subterranean parking mitigating the Coastal Commission requirements.
A hotel which will have a catalytic effect on the future development of Palmetto Avenue while functioning as an anchor tenant and driving pedestrian traffic. We see a hotel serving a clientele not currently served in Pacifica. As a Marriott branded hotel, the visioned property will take advantage of the Marriott reservation system and loyal customers from around the world. Business travelers will avail themselves of Pacifica’s ocean front views and quaint community during the week while families will enjoy the all-suites, destination hotel as an affordable weekend get- away.
B. Site Specific Questions
1. Would you consider phasing the hotel construction? Answer: The options above do not anticipate the need to phase the hotel construction.
2. If a podium was chosen for all of the site, could it be engineered and built in phases, and is that financially feasible compared to building it all at once? Answer: If needed, we could see phasing in supplemental subterranean parking at the northeast quadrant of the site.
pg. 4
3. Where would you want the hotel to have street frontage? Answer: Per the previous exhibit, we initially envision the street frontage to be along Beach Blvd.
4. Where would you want access and exiting for the hotel? Answer: The vision is to provide access and egress to all the streets surrounding the site. The hotel’s entrance would be interior to the site.
5. What is the maximum and minimum number of hotel rooms you would consider at this site? Answer: At this time, we envision a 100-110 key all-suites hotel.
6. Do you recommend adding residential use to the site in addition to the hotel? Answer: No
7. Are conference facilities valuable to your vision, either on or off the site, and for what audience? Answer: We see great value in conference facilities for a variety of business and leisure activities. The potential for a joint effort with the Pacifica Public Library would be of tremendous value to both properties. The ability to host business conferences, sales meetings and seminars during the week is a bonus. Our vision is to develop a hotel with a range of meeting space. However, a larger meeting area/conference space in the library would drive more visitors and customers to both entities. For the weekends, we see a conference facility as an amenity where we could attract conferences capitalizing on Pacifica’s hiking, biking, nature and surfing community. We believe there is untapped potential awaiting our combined efforts.
8. Do you commit to supporting the existing Hotel Business Improvement District (BID) and a potential BID on Palmetto Avenue? Answer: Simply, Yes. We see great value in participating in a larger effort to improve and maintain the environment of the surrounding commercial district. Tourists and locals, alike, enjoy nicely landscaped and decorated commercial lanes and streets, and brightly light sidewalks attract pedestrians who window shop and stroll in search of a café or boutique shop. We all benefit from the existence of a strong and financially healthy business improvement district.

Team Resumes
Kamla Hotels:
Devang Patel, CEO
Kabir Bhagat, President
Devang and Kabir are both brothers that moved from India at a very young age of 12 and 10 respectively. They were sent by their parents to go to school in the US and they both lived with their uncle. Initially, both Devang and Kabir found it difficult to adjust to the American style of education, culture and even food. However, as they spent more and more time in US they excelled in school, sports, and community activities. Devang went to college at the University of California-Riverside and graduated with honors in Business Administration in December of 2005. In 2006, he bought his first hotel at the age of 21. Kabir soon joined the business in 2009 after completing his Computer Science Engineering from California State College of Long Beach.
Kamla Hotels was founded in 2006 by Devang with a mission to be a hospitality company with a culture of transparency, outstanding service and building long-term relationships with all of Kamla’s stakeholders. Kamla has grown from a small motel operator in 2006 with less than 35 units under management to over 1,000 units spread across different segments of hotels from boutique to branded hotels in top destination markets in California. Devang and Kabir have been involved in over $100 million dollars of real-estate transactions in a short amount of time.
Kamla is a product of hard work, dedication, and the will to succeed from Devang and Kabir. Both brothers have been instrumental in establishing a company on their own at a very young age. Devang and Kabir bring a lot of their Indian values, principals and work ethic to the company. Each associate of the company is given the respect and recognition they deserve. Kamla Hotels is a very young company, ran by young entrepreneurs, with aspirations to grow to new heights.
