Club Groups of Hotels kicked off an illustrious foray into the hospitality industry with their Quality Inn, Corbett Jungle Resorts being chosen as "Best Resort of the Year" in 1990. A decade later, Ski and Snow Resorts Pvt. Ltd. launched Clifftop Club Auli, a premier Ski resort at over 10,000 feet in the Garhwal Himalayas. Beginning operations as an exclusive ski resort, Clifftop Club went on to win "Resort of International Distinction" Award from their affiliate chain Resorts Condominium International (RCI). More accolades followed, with the "Gold Crown" in 2004 and the "Hospitality Award" in 2006. Meanwhile, Alpine Club became operational as a small boutique hotel in Nainital and Mountain Club opened its doors to guests in 2005. Within a year of its opening, Mountain Club went on to win the RCI "Silver Crown" in 2006. In 2014, The Rangers Reserve was created on a virgin hill where nature still exists as it did for centuries in Jim Corbett . Every care was taken to maintain ecology by not cutting even a single tree and enforcing a seamless blend of design, luxury and topography, so that man could view wonders of the wild exactly the way nature created it.
