Clarks Exotica Convention Resort & Spa welcomed the festive season with its much-awaited annual Cake Mixing Ceremony, held at the scenic poolside of the Clubhouse. The cherished tradition brought together guests, residents from Swiss Town, Hollywood Town, and Serene Garden, along with the senior management and resort team, for an evening filled with laughter, warmth, and community joy.

The event began on a grand note with the reveal of specially designed cake-mixing logos, offering a creative glimpse into the resort’s evolving story and setting an air of anticipation for its upcoming chapter. This thoughtful addition added excitement to the evening and reflected the brand’s commitment to innovation and storytelling.

As the music played and festive aromas filled the air, guests joined hands with the Clarks team to mix a rich medley of dry fruits, nuts, and spices, a symbolic gesture of joy, togetherness, and prosperity for the season ahead. The ceremony concluded with a sumptuous poolside spread of snacks and beverages, creating the perfect prelude to the holiday celebrations.

Sharing his thoughts on the occasion, Mr. Balaji M, CEO, Clarks Exotica, said, “At Clarks Exotica, we believe every celebration is an opportunity to create lasting memories. The annual cake mixing reflects the values we hold close, community, warmth, and connection. Seeing our guests, residents, and team members come together in such high spirits reminds us that hospitality is ultimately about people, not places. This event marks not just the start of the festive season, but also a renewed chapter in our brand’s story.”

As the resort prepares to unveil its new brand identity, this year’s cake mixing stood as a symbolic celebration of blending tradition with innovation. With the festive cheer in full swing and an exciting future ahead, Clarks Exotica continues to redefine hospitality through experiences that celebrate togetherness and timeless joy.

Sayaji Hotels has opened its latest property, Enrise by Sayaji, Chandrapur, further strengthening its footprint across Maharashtra. The new hotel brings together Sayaji’s signature warmth with the rich culture and heritage of Chandrapur often known as the land of tigers.

Located at Tulsinagar, Rashtrawadi Nagar, the property is easily accessible, being just a few kilometres from the railway station and well connected to Nagpur Airport. Designed for today’s travellers, it offers the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and style.

The hotel features 40 elegantly designed rooms, including Grande Rooms, Executive Suites, and Royal Suites, each equipped with contemporary décor and thoughtful amenities.

Speaking about the launch, Ms. Sumera Dhanani, Corporate Head – Business Development, Sayaji Hotels Ltd, shared, “For a long time, hospitality in India was centred around metro cities, while Tier 2 and 3 destinations remained untapped. That landscape is rapidly transforming with stronger connectivity, rising local economies, and evolving traveller expectations. At Sayaji, we see immense potential in these emerging markets and are committed to expanding our footprint strategically. The launch of Enrise by Sayaji, Chandrapur, marks a key step in that journey as we continue to redefine accessible, high-quality hospitality across India.”

Adding to this, Mr. Rajendra Joshi, Director of Operations, Sayaji Hotels Ltd, said, “At Enrise by Sayaji, Chandrapur, every element has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the city’s warmth and character. From the comfortable rooms to our signature restaurant Momentt, the hotel offers a seamless blend of comfort, elegance, and personalised service. We look forward to welcoming guests and delivering the exceptional Sayaji experience they know and love.”

Mr. Rana Pal Singh, Owner, Enrise by Sayaji Chandrapur, also expressed pride in the new opening, stating, “It’s a proud moment to see Enrise by Sayaji open its doors in Chandrapur. Our goal was to bring a premium hospitality experience to the city—one that combines comfort, elegance, and heartfelt service. We are confident that this property will become the preferred choice for both business and leisure travellers visiting the region.”

The property’s strategic location provides easy access to key local attractions, including Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, Chandrapur Fort, Mahakali Temple, Bhadravati Jain Temple, and Junona Lake, making it an excellent base for both tourists and business guests.

Whether it’s a family getaway, business trip, or a weekend escape, Enrise by Sayaji Chandrapur promises a stay defined by comfort, good food, and genuine hospitality, all hallmarks of the Sayaji brand.
