Bengaluru is gearing up for two major global events - Aero India 2025 and the Global Investor's Meet, bringing a surge in visitors and a significant rise in hotel prices.

With business leaders, investors, and aviation enthusiasts set to arrive next week, the city’s hotels are almost fully booked, even in the outskirts. The soaring demand has resulted in a 20% hike in room tariffs, with star hotels charging up to INR 15,000 per night.

Hotels at Maximum Capacity:

According to Veerendra Kamat, Secretary of Bangalore Hotels Association, the simultaneous occurrence of Aero India and the Global Investor's Meet has doubled the usual demand, pushing prices higher than ever.

 Pre-Bookings Drive Up Price:  

 Sanjay Sonar, AVP of Sales & Marketing at Vividus Hotels, noted that early bookings started a month ago, causing a steady rise in room rates. “We expected an increase, but the demand took us by surprise,” he said.

Global Exposure for Bengaluru’s Hospitality Sector:  

This spike in bookings is seen as a golden opportunity for Bengaluru’s hotels to showcase their services to a diverse international audience. Abhijith R, F&B Manager at Hyatt Centric Hebbal, highlighted how the event allows hospitality brands to engage with a global clientele.

Prime Locations See Peak Demand:

  Hotels near event venues and the airport are particularly in demand. Anuradha Venkatachalam, Hotel Captain at Moxy Bengaluru Airport Prestige Tech Cloud, emphasized that their proximity to key locations makes them an ideal choice for visitors.

Corporate & Defense Bookings Surge:

The CBD area hotels are witnessing a massive influx of corporate and defense personnel, according to Sathish Kumar, Front Office Manager at Citadel Sarovar Portico, Race Course. “We leave only 1% of rooms for last-minute travelers, but prices will continue to rise due to demand,” he added.

With just days left until Aero India 2025 and the Global Investor's Meet, Bengaluru’s hospitality sector is experiencing one of its busiest seasons, reaffirming the city’s status as a key global business and aviation hub.
