Alivaa Hotels & Resorts, the upscale hospitality brand backed by Ananta Capital, has announced a strategic investment in Xenious Hotels, a fast-growing chain of mid to upscale properties. This move marks the official launch of Xenious as a distinct brand under the Alivaa umbrella, further reinforcing the group’s multi-brand growth strategy.
With this partnership, Xenious Hotels, which currently runs 11 hotels and has 7 more in the pipeline, will now be part of the Alivaa platform. The integration expands Alivaa’s reach and positions the group to serve a wider variety of travellers—from modern explorers to business guests.
Currently, Alivaa operates 16 hotels across key cities in India. Looking ahead, the company has mapped out an ambitious plan to grow to 100 hotels within five years, operating through three clearly defined brands:
Alivaa – modern lifestyle stays
Hoften – fresh, young, urban stays
Xenious – quality comfort for business and leisure
This move gives a significant push to Alivaa’s vision of becoming one of the fastest-growing mid-market hospitality platforms in India.
Mr. Vikramjit Singh, Chairman and Managing Director of Alivaa Hotels & Resorts, said, “This deal is more than just an expansion – it is a decisive step toward our mission of building one of the fastest-growing mid-market hospitality platforms in India.”
Praising the addition of Xenious to the group, he added, “Xenious is regarded for its warm service, well-maintained properties, and eclectic dining options. By integrating it into our portfolio, we will amplify its strengths and bring high-quality hospitality to more markets across India.”
Mr. Inder Pal Batra, Co-founder of Alivaa Hotels & Resorts, noted the scalability of the partnership, saying, “Our investment in Xenious Hotels reflects our focus on building a scalable mid-market brand. Together with the Xenious team, we aim to set new benchmarks in affordable hospitality by combining their local expertise with our operational excellence and innovative approach.”
From the Xenious side, Mr. Sanjay Kaw, Owner of Xenious Hotels, expressed enthusiasm: “We are thrilled to partner with Alivaa Hotels & Resorts. This collaboration opens new doors for Xenious Hotels, allowing us to enhance guest experiences while benefitting from Alivaa’s operational excellence and strategic vision.”
The partnership underscores Alivaa’s long-term commitment to scaling with purpose, offering differentiated experiences, and building a resilient, future-forward hospitality platform in India.

Four Seasons to Open New Private Residences in Mumbai’s Renowned Worli District. This new luxury development set to offer unparalleled living experiences with world-class amenities and exceptional design in the heart of Mumbai
Construction has been completed and over 80% of residences have already been sold at the newly launched Four Seasons Private Residences Mumbai, a collaboration between luxury hospitality giant Four Seasons and Indian developer Provenance Land. Rising in Mumbai’s prestigious Worli district, this luxury tower now stands as one of the tallest branded residential buildings globally, redefining urban luxury in India.
Comprising only 41 residences across 64 floors, the project ensures low-density living with maximum privacy. Spacious layouts range from full-floor three-bedroom homes to expansive five- and six-bedroom duplexes, all crafted with meticulous attention to detail and offering stunning views of the city and coastline.
“In a city known for its dynamic culture and as one of South Asia’s key commercial markets, this development represents a significant milestone for Four Seasons,” said Bart Carnahan, President, Global Business Development, Portfolio Management and Residential, Four Seasons. “Together with our partners at Provenance Land, we’re delivering a lifestyle curated and operated end-to-end by Four Seasons, complete with personalized service, world-class amenities, and exceptional experiences.”
Residents benefit from services exclusively handled by Four Seasons employees, under a dedicated Director of Residences. Every detail is designed to provide peace of mind and premium hospitality, whether owners are at home or away.
“This project will set a new benchmark for sophistication in Mumbai’s luxury branded residential market,” said Adarsh Jatia, Managing Director of Provenance Land. “With more than 80% sold, the response reflects Mumbai’s appetite for exceptional living. We’re proud to offer residences that blend elegant design with tranquil seclusion in the heart of the city.”
Residents will enjoy exclusive access to a dedicated Residents’ Club, complete with a lounge, private dining room, gym, and media room. Outdoor amenities include over an acre of landscaped greenspace, a meditation garden, pickleball court, elevated pool, and rooftop lounge with an outdoor cinema and bar, all perched on the 65th floor with panoramic views.
The design features are a collaboration between acclaimed architectural firm Gensler and renowned interior studio Yabu Pushelberg. Every element reflects thoughtful, contemporary luxury, including multi-generational living layouts, Vastu-compliant designs, spacious kitchens, and integrated smart home systems.
Additionally, residents gain privileged access to the adjacent Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai, recently transformed with textile-inspired interiors and world-class facilities. Located near landmarks such as the Mahalaxmi Racecourse, Willingdon Golf Course, and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, both the hotel and residences offer unmatched connectivity and charm.
The Hotel’s culinary highlights include AER, the iconic rooftop bar known for breathtaking sunsets and Sunday brunches and Opus, a globally inspired restaurant set in an art deco ambiance.
Four Seasons Private Residences Mumbai adds to the growing presence of Four Seasons in India, joining the Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai and Four Seasons Private Residences Bengaluru.
