Mövenpick Hotel & Spa Bangalore has officially opened its doors, becoming the first property in India for the international upscale hotel company. The five-star hotel is superbly designed as a contemporary business destination whilst also offering exciting leisure opportunities for relaxation, dining and entertainment. Conveniently located near the main business districts of the city and a 30-minute drive from the airport, the modern hotel boasts a stunning water feature at its entrance and an illuminated glass staircase, lending a warm feel to the corporate traveller focused property.

The hotel’s services are every bit as progressive as the design, with guests enjoying complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi in all rooms and public areas, a first in the city. All 182 rooms contain flat screen LCD TV with integrated media systems.

Guests staying in executive club rooms or suites enjoy a variety of convenient benefits including a 24-hour rate starting from the moment they arrive, which will help the majority of international travellers taking early morning or late evening flights.

The opening further augments the close ties between India and Switzerland, which covers everything from trade to movies, with the European country’s stunning scenery providing the backdrop to many Bollywood films.

Guests can enjoy a selection of four dining and entertainment options including the 24-hour My Place restaurant, the Obsidian bar, featuring a striking 1920s art deco interior design, the Italian restaurant Mezzaluna and the soon-to-open Perfect Sky, the hotel’s rooftop restaurant and lounge.

A dedicated floor for banqueting facilities includes a grand ballroom with separate entrance, whilst seven meeting venues offer an ideal setting for exclusive board meetings, corporate celebrations and stylish social functions.

Leisure facilities include a stunning swimming pool with infinity edge located on the second floor, and the state of the art spa and fitness centre.

The Sohum Spa is set to become a top-class wellness facility and features eight treatment rooms and an extensive selection of therapies, inspired by Ayurveda, the ancient Indian philosophy of health and wellbeing, in addition to Oriental and European healing techniques. The Spa captures in its design and décor the Hindu temple architecture of South India, creating a soothing retreat for equilibrium and harmony.

Situated on the 12th floor and offering magnificent city views, the fitness centre features modern equipment and dedicated rooms for Yoga and meditation.
