Mövenpick Opens its First Hotel in India

Mövenpick Hotel & Spa Bangalore has officially opened, becoming the first property in India for the international hotel company.

 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.

Guests can enjoy complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi in all rooms and public areas and all 182 rooms contain flat screen LCD TV with integrated media systems.

Guests staying in executive club rooms or suites can enjoy a variety of convenient benefits including a 24-hour rate starting from the moment they arrive.

Jean Gabriel Pérès, President & CEO of Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts said he was excited about launching the first Mövenpick property in India, in the heart of its ‘Silicon Valley’.

“It is a contemporary property which is in keeping with 21st century India and its rising stature on the global stage,” he said. “This opening marks a new milestone for our company entering the Indian Subcontinent with the Mövenpick Hotel Bangalore. We are convinced that the hotel’s facilities, in combination with our personalised service delivery and the Swiss approach to quality, will appeal to domestic and international travellers alike.”

Guests can enjoy a selection of four dining and entertainment options including the 24-hour My Place restaurant, the Obsidian bar, featuring a 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 board meetings, corporate celebrations and stylish social functions.

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

The Sohum Spa 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.

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

Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has strong expansion plans in India and recently announced a second property in the country, the Mövenpick Dharamshala Resort & Spa, a 110-room resort in the Northern Indian Kangra Valley due to open in 2013.
