DoubleTree by Hilton Gurugram Baani Square has added a strong commercial voice to its leadership team with the appointment of Nikhil Malhotra as Commercial Director.

In this role, Malhotra will drive the hotel's overall commercial strategy, spanning sales, marketing, and revenue optimisation with a focus on growing market share across corporate, leisure, and MICE segments. He'll work closely with the property's leadership team to build strategic partnerships and keep revenue performance consistently strong across key business areas.

Malhotra brings over 15 years of hospitality experience to the role, having worked across some well-regarded international brands Accor, Hyatt, The Zuri Group, and Alila Hotels & Resorts. Along the way, he's built solid expertise in market development, key account management, commercial planning, and team leadership, a combination that sets him up well for the demands of Gurugram's fast-moving hospitality market.

Commenting on his new role, Malhotra said, "The Gurugram market continues to evolve rapidly, and it presents strong opportunities across corporate travel, social events, and emerging lifestyle segments. I look forward to working closely with the team to strengthen our commercial strategy, deepen market partnerships, and drive sustained growth for the property."

It's a well-timed appointment for a hotel looking to sharpen its positioning in one of India's most competitive hospitality markets and Malhotra's track record suggests he's well-placed to make a meaningful impact from the start.
