Hyatt Regency Dehradun Resort and Spa has announced the appointment of Apurav Bhatia as its new Assistant Director of Food & Beverage, bringing on board a hospitality professional with over a decade of experience across luxury food and beverage operations.

Bhatia’s career has been shaped by hands-on leadership across diverse premium hospitality environments, where he has played a key role in refining outlet operations, developing beverage-led concepts, and managing the complexities of large-scale banqueting. Known for balancing operational discipline with creative expression, his approach focuses on delivering consistent, elevated guest experiences that reflect both brand standards and authentic hospitality.

In his new role, Bhatia will oversee the full spectrum of food and beverage operations at the resort, including restaurant outlets, bars, in-room dining, and events.

His vision also extends to the resort’s banqueting and wedding segments, where a strong focus on customisation and seamless execution will define each celebration.

Bhatia is also keen to introduce wellness-driven dining concepts, mindful beverage programmes, and sustainable practices aligned with evolving guest expectations and Hyatt’s global standards. Strategic menu planning, seasonal sourcing, and cost-conscious innovation will guide his approach, alongside strict hygiene protocols and continuous team development to uphold service excellence across all touchpoints.
