Luxury travelers headed to India can look forward to some exciting new hotel openings in 2019 and beyond. Here we take a look at three high-end properties on the horizon for India’s Silicon Valley, Bengaluru; its City of Dreams, Mumbai; and the Pink City of Jaipur.
Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru at Embassy One
Opening in early 2019 within Embassy One, a new mixed-use development comprising commercial office spaces and retail outlets, the Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru will cater to corporate travelers looking to conduct business in a serene environment in India’s bustling tech capital.
Led by General Manager Fredrik Blomqvist, the 230-key hotel has been designed by HKS Architects and Studio u+a, with interiors by Yabu Pushelburg.
The hotel also offers three dining venues, a spa and salon, a fitness center, and meeting and event spaces.
There is also a pool with waterfall, a butterfly garden and a ribbon lawn, which promise to have a calming effect on guests looking to work or relax in a tranquil setting away from the buzz of the city.
Also debuting within the Embassy One development is Four Seasons Private Residences. The 105 private residences are spread across two towers and have one- to four-bedroom layouts.
