"The wheel had turned a full circle. I began to think of building my own hotels, and the first attempt was a small hotel in Gopalpur-on-Sea, in Orissa": India's greatest hotelier M S OberoiBERHAMPUR: The Oberoi group is planning to reopen its ‘Hotel Palm Beach’ resort at Gopalpur-on-sea after a major revamp.It was one of the initial heritage hotels established by the Oberoi group in Orissa in the British era, but due to various reasons it was closed down in December 2002.
Gopalpur is a historically important town, sewn with the rule of British East India Company. 
Gopalpur was also a major port in ancient Orissa from where Oriya sailors set forth in their indigenously built large ships to far off south East Asian countries. And when the British occupied the state, this port also assumed its importance as a strategic point of military significance. Present Gopalpur is a calm and beautiful beach town with tourists flocking to its lap to enjoy the natural beauty of the soft sandy beach.
