Udaipur has always had a way of making you slow down. The lakes, the hills, the golden light at dusk, it's the kind of city that asks you to be present. And the newly opened Wyndham Garden Udaipur Bhuwana seems to have taken that quality and built an entire hotel around it.

Perched in the rolling Aravalli hills with sweeping views of the landscape that defines Udaipur, this 70-room hillside retreat is Wyndham's fifth property in the city and it's a genuinely beautiful addition. From the moment you arrive, the architecture feels like it belongs here. Traditional Rajasthani design, natural materials, open layouts, and a seamless flow between indoor spaces and the outdoors, it's the kind of place where waking up to birdsong and watching the sun dip behind the hills becomes part of your daily routine.

The hotel is built with a clear philosophy  slow down, breathe, and actually feel restored by the time you leave. Whether you're a wellness traveller looking for a mindful escape, a couple on a romantic getaway, or a family simply in need of a proper break, the property delivers across the board.

Rahool Macarius, Market Managing Director, Eurasia at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, captured it well -  "Udaipur is a destination that speaks to the soul, and Wyndham Garden Udaipur Bhuwana is designed to reflect that spirit. As our fifth hotel in the city, this opening represents our vision of hospitality that goes beyond comfort, offering restorative experiences and memorable celebrations that feel deeply connected to place, nature and wellbeing. It also marks the third Wyndham Garden to open in India in just two years, reflecting the strong demand for nature-led, experience-driven stays and the brand's continued growth in the country."

Made for Weddings Too

Udaipur is India's go-to destination for weddings — and this property is very well set up for exactly that. A 557 square metre pillarless banquet hall and a sprawling open lawn, where vows can be exchanged against a backdrop of hills and golden light, make it a natural choice for couples looking for a setting that feels both grand and intimate. It's the kind of venue where the location does half the work for you.

Close to the City, Far From the Rush

Despite feeling wonderfully removed from the everyday, the hotel is conveniently located - just about 30 minutes from Maharana Pratap Airport, which makes getting in and out easy for both leisure guests and wedding parties. From here, Udaipur's royal palaces, historic temples, and lakeside ghats are all within reach, making it easy to explore the city before returning to the quiet of the hills.

Vikram Singh Chauhan, Founder & CEO of NILE Hospitality, shared - "We are proud to unveil Wyndham Garden Udaipur Bhuwana, a resort that combines Rajasthan's rich heritage with immersive guest experiences. In partnership with Wyndham and Zappy Holidays Resorts, we are creating a destination that offers culture, luxury, and unforgettable stays for travellers from around the world."

What to Expect

Guests are welcomed with a traditional Rajasthani greeting, a warm touch that sets the tone immediately. Amenities include an outdoor pool, spa with steam room, gym, 24/7 room service, free WiFi, a business centre, and a courtyard high-tea ritual that feels like a genuine Udaipur moment. There's also a game room, children's pool and play area, concierge services, travel desk, local shuttle, and free parking. Every room is non-smoking with a private balcony because in a place like this, the view from your room is part of the experience.

Durgesh Kumawat, Proprietor of Zappy Holidays Resorts, managed by NILE Hospitality, summed it up beautifully, "Our goal was to create a sanctuary, a place where guests feel grounded, restored, and connected to the timeless beauty of Udaipur. Whether for a peaceful retreat or a once-in-a-lifetime wedding, Wyndham Garden Udaipur Bhuwana offers an experience that stays with you long after you leave."

The property is developed in partnership with Zappy Holidays Resorts and managed by NILE Hospitality,  a collaboration that already spans seven hotels across India. Looking ahead, Wyndham and NILE are also working together to bring Microtel by Wyndham to India, with plans to open 40 hotels nationwide by 2031.

For a city that's always felt like it was made for slowing down, this new hillside retreat feels right at home.

Some celebrations don't need to be loud or over the top, sometimes the best ones are just good food, good people, and a rooftop with a view. And that's exactly the kind of Women's Day Sector 144 in JP Nagar is putting together.

The Bengaluru restaurant is marking the occasion with a specially curated Sunday brunch that keeps things relaxed, flavourful, and genuinely fun. Guests can pick from a thoughtful à la carte selection of dishes and refreshing beverages, all while soaking in the breezy rooftop ambience that the place is known for. It's the kind of afternoon that doesn't rush you, just lets you settle in, eat well, and enjoy the company around you.

The idea behind the brunch goes beyond just a meal. It's a small but heartfelt tribute to creativity, community, and the everyday warmth that women bring into the lives of those around them. Whether you're coming with your best friend, your mother, your colleagues, or just treating yourself the vibe is welcoming, the food is comforting, and the atmosphere is everything a lazy Sunday should feel like.

Comforting favourites sit alongside more contemporary plates on the menu, with drinks to match. The rooftop setting adds a light, open feel to the whole experience  lively enough to feel festive, but laid-back enough that you can actually slow down and savour the moment.
