Reflecting on this milestone, Sandeep Gupta, Executive Chairman of Aria Hotels and Consultancy Pvt.

It's a testament to the legacy of my late father, Padma Shri Sushil Gupta, and the successful partnership between Aria Hospitality and Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. and Marriott International. I'm grateful for the unwavering support of our guests, partners, and the dedicated team that has made this journey possible. I eagerly anticipate many more decades of providing unparalleled hospitality and creating cherished moments at JW Marriott New Delhi."

K3: New Delhi's Food Theatre, an all-day diner, offers a unique dining experience with three live kitchens showcasing Mediterranean, Asian, and Indian cuisines, all prepared by a team of master chefs. For those with a sweet tooth, the Delhi Baking Company delights with an array of desserts, bread, bakery products, and the finest illy coffee. JW Lounge caters to guests with a selection of premium spirits, cocktails, and hors d'oeuvres.

Sharad Datta, General Manager of JW Marriott New Delhi Aerocity, emphasized that their success isn't solely defined by their splendid facilities or elegant ambiance. Instead, it's the unwavering dedication of their associates who have tirelessly cared for their guests. In turn, their guests have nurtured their business by choosing them as their preferred destination. This journey has been remarkable, and they eagerly look forward to many more years of providing extraordinary experiences to their cherished guests.

The experience blends projection mapping technology, narrative storytelling, and curated cuisine to transform dining into a theatrical event. Each course is presented as part of a visual story, where the animated chef “prepares” dishes in real time, offering children a highly interactive and imaginative way to engage with food.

At Hilton Bengaluru Embassy Manyata Business Park, the summer programming is scheduled every Saturday and Sunday, with additional weekday sessions available on special request. The initiative is designed to cater specifically to young diners, encouraging curiosity, engagement, and family interaction through a shared dining experience.

The hotel has positioned this offering as part of its broader focus on experiential hospitality, where dining is not limited to consumption but extended into storytelling and memory-making. The concept is also intended to offer returning guests a refreshed experience, while introducing first-time visitors to a globally recognised format of immersive dining.

For families, the experience provides a unique alternative to conventional summer outings, combining entertainment with cuisine in a controlled, indoor environment suited for children.

With this initiative, Hilton Bengaluru Embassy Manyata Business Park continues to expand its experiential programming, reinforcing its positioning as a destination for innovative family-friendly hospitality experiences in Bengaluru


Opulent Oasis Hospitality Debuts with ‘Wild Calm’ Gir Retreat, Enters Experiential Hospitality Space

Opulent Oasis Hospitality Debuts with ‘Wild Calm’ Gir Retreat, Enters Experiential Hospitality Space

Opulent Oasis Hospitality Pvt. Ltd. has officially entered the hospitality sector with the launch of its debut experiential retreat, Wild Calm, marking a strategic foray into nature-led and experience-driven travel formats in India.

Founded by hospitality professional Bhavik Sheth, the venture positions itself in the growing experiential tourism segment, aiming to bridge the gap between high-end luxury stays and standardised commercial hospitality offerings. The company’s vision is centred on creating destination-led experiences that prioritise emotional connection, local context, and immersive design over scale-driven expansion.

Located in Sasan Gir, Gujarat, one of India’s most significant wildlife regions, Wild Calm will feature 53 keys, including private pool villas and immersive accommodation formats. The retreat is designed with a strong emphasis on nature integration and experiential living, offering a combination of leisure, wellness, and curated cultural engagement.

The property will include a clubhouse, swimming pool, multi-cuisine restaurant, kitchen garden, and an activity arena for curated programming. Outdoor amenities such as pickleball courts, box cricket facilities, and landscaped green zones including a Miyawaki forest further reinforce the retreat’s nature-first design philosophy.

Guest experiences at Wild Calm are structured around flexible, narrative-driven journeys. These include botanical walks, storytelling sessions, pottery workshops, curated high tea experiences, and slow evening rituals designed to encourage mindfulness and connection with the surrounding ecosystem.

Speaking on the launch, founder Bhavik Sheth said hospitality today has become highly standardised, often losing emotional depth despite operational efficiency. He emphasised that the goal of Opulent Oasis Hospitality is to design spaces that feel intuitive, rooted, and memorable, where experience is embedded into every layer of the stay rather than added as an activity.

Sheth previously worked with Evoke Experiences, where he contributed to the development of large-scale experiential properties such as Rann Utsav, further strengthening his background in destination-led hospitality design.

With Wild Calm as its inaugural project, the company plans a selective expansion strategy across wildlife destinations, eco-tourism circuits, desert landscapes, and culturally rich regions, while also exploring opportunities in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets as well as emerging spiritual tourism segments.

Rather than pursuing rapid portfolio scale, Opulent Oasis Hospitality has indicated a focus on carefully curated destinations with strong ecological and cultural narratives, aligning with the broader shift in India’s travel industry toward experiential and purpose-driven hospitality
