History

The hotel was built under the EIH Associated Hotels Limited (EAHL), which was initially promoted by the Rane Group in Chennai, and was incorporated in India on 21 March 1983 as 'Pleasant Hotels Limited' under the Companies Act. Soon, the group sold the property to the Oberoi Group due to lack of expertise in hospitality management.[2] On October 25, 1989, the name was changed to Oberoi Associated Hotels Limited consequent upon issue of a fresh certificate of incorporation. On November 1, 1996, the name of the company was further changed to its present name 'EIH Associated Hotels Limited' consequent upon issue of a fresh certificate of incorporation. In 1987, the company made a public offer of its equity shares which were listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange and the Madras Stock Exchange. EIHL took over the management in the year 1988. EAHL started operations of its Chennai hotel under the brand 'Trident' in March 1988.[3]

In April 2004, the hotel, which was originally the "Trident Hotel", was rebranded as "Trident".[4][5][6] On 1 April 2008, the hotel was rebranded as "Trident".[7][8]
