On 15 October 2011, the hotel was re-branded as "My Fortune, Chennai" under the Fortune Park Hotels Ltd, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of ITC Ltd, and was set up in 1995 to cater to the first-class market segment in business and leisure destinations. Despite the change, the hotel remains a I-Class full-service hotel.
