Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel has announced the relaunch of its signature banquet space, the Jade Ballroom following an extensive redesign. The transformed venue combines contemporary elegance with the city’s cultural heritage, setting a new benchmark for events and celebrations in Hyderabad.

Speaking about the relaunch, Subhankar Bose, General Manager, Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel, said, “The relaunch of Jade Ballroom represents our commitment to offering Hyderabad an exceptional venue that honours tradition while embracing innovation. This space is designed to create magical moments for our guests — whether they are celebrating life’s milestones or hosting distinguished business events.”

The reimagined Jade Ballroom now offers 4,500 sq. ft. of flexible, pillarless meeting space, complemented by a 2,500 sq. ft. pre-function area. With a total capacity of up to 600 guests, it ranks among Hyderabad’s largest and most adaptable event venues.

Designed for versatility, the ballroom’s column-free architecture ensures unobstructed sightlines, allowing seamless transitions between intimate gatherings and grand celebrations. The space can also be divided into Jade 1 and Jade 2, offering flexibility for simultaneous events or customized layouts.

The enhanced pre-function area, ideal for cocktail receptions, networking sessions, or registration zones, features independent access for added exclusivity. State-of-the-art audio-visual systems and advanced lighting technology have also been integrated, ensuring every event is executed with sophistication and precision.

With its blend of timeless design, modern technology, and spacious versatility, the new Jade Ballroom reaffirms Sheraton Hyderabad’s position as a premier destination for weddings, social celebrations, and corporate events in the city.

Brij Hotels has announced the launch of Brij Sone Bagh, a luxury jungle retreat nestled amid the Sal forests and rugged landscapes near Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh. Spanning 32 acres and just five minutes from the park’s main gate, the property is accessible via a scenic three-and-a-half-hour drive from Jabalpur Airport.

With only five villas set across the vast expanse, Brij Sone Bagh offers an intimate stay designed for authentic and immersive experiences. Guests can enjoy guided safaris in the tiger reserve, explore tribal hamlets, or embark on slow-paced nature walks that highlight the region’s rich biodiversity and cultural heritage.

“Brij Sone Bagh is a celebration of central India, its forests, wildlife, and rich tribal heritage. Our vision was to craft a space that blends luxury with authenticity, where every villa, every detail, and every experience tells a story of the land and its people,” said Udit Kumar, Co-Founder, Brij Hotels. “We hope guests leave with more than memories, they leave with a deeper connection to this extraordinary region.”

Architecturally, the retreat reflects the raw beauty of the Vindhya Hills. Designed by Atelier15 under architect Deepika Sethi, the villas feature natural materials such as stone, cane, bamboo, and timber, creating a minimal yet earthy aesthetic. Each villa is thematically curated around a native Bandhavgarh animal, with art and textiles inspired by Madhya Pradesh’s tribal culture. Signature spaces, including a forest-inspired diner and an elephant-motif poolside bar, celebrate local design sensibilities, while expansive verandas and private plunge pools ensure uninterrupted forest views.

Sustainability lies at the heart of Brij Sone Bagh. The resort was built with minimal environmental impact, preserving existing trees and following the land’s natural contours. Features such as passive cooling, thermal mass materials, and wildlife-friendly lighting enhance energy efficiency. The culinary philosophy also prioritizes locality, with ingredients sourced from nearby villages or the on-site garden.

Brij Sone Bagh’s workforce is primarily drawn from surrounding communities, reflecting the brand’s commitment to inclusive growth and cultural exchange. The retreat offers a rare combination of luxury, authenticity, and responsible tourism in the heart of tiger country.
