Citrus Classic Hotels

What Citrus Classic Hotels does

Citrus Classic Hotels is an Indian private hotel booking platform operating under the legal entity Orange Tiger Hospitality Pvt Ltd. The firm provides a web-based online reservation system for Citrus-branded hotel properties, marketed under the multi-brand umbrella that includes Orange Tiger Hotels and Citrus Classic Hotels. The platform serves individual travelers and hotel guests, enabling direct digital discovery and booking of accommodations primarily through the orangetigerhotels.com website.

The company's core product is its online booking platform, accessible globally via web browser, with no dedicated mobile application. The underlying technology is a standard reservation system without disclosed proprietary features, AI integrations, or differentiated technical architecture. Distribution is concentrated through the company's own e-commerce storefront, with no disclosed third-party OTA partnerships, marketing channels, or customer acquisition mechanisms. The legal entity is incorporated in India as a private limited company (Pvt. Ltd.), with no disclosed ownership structure, investors, or shareholders.

Citrus Classic Hotels maintains a small operational footprint, with 11-50 employees distributed across three offices: Mumbai (corporate/operations), Pune (operations), and Riga, Latvia (European presence). Geographic reach is evidenced in Maharashtra, India, and Latvia. No financial disclosures, funding history, customer logos, management team details, or pricing models are publicly available, indicating either an early-stage or privately opaque operating posture. The business model is presumed to be transaction-based — earning commissions or margins on hotel bookings — though specific revenue mechanics are not disclosed.
