MGallery Collection is once again turning pink this October to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with a series of global initiatives aimed at raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research. The brand, known for its commitment to female empowerment, is marking its 60th year in this fight, highlighting the importance of early detection and support for those affected by breast cancer, which accounts for 30% of all cancer cases in women.

Throughout October, MGallery hotels will host events and activities dedicated to raising money for breast cancer research and educating the public about the signs and symptoms of the disease. In addition to pink-themed cocktails, illuminated facades, and NGO partnerships, each hotel will encourage guests and employees—known as "Heartists"—to participate in initiatives designed to support the cause.

One key initiative is an internal competition where Heartists will run as many kilometers as they can during Pink October. The hotel whose Heartists cover the most distance will receive a donation, equivalent to the total kilometers run, to be given to Gustave Roussy, Europe's leading cancer research center. Hotel guests will also be invited to contribute by adding a two-euro donation per night to a local breast cancer awareness organization.

MGallery is also making it easy for guests to educate themselves. QR codes in hotel bathrooms will provide access to a special video podcast, which offers insights into breast cancer prevention, including how to perform self-examinations and recognize early warning signs.

In a visually impactful gesture, a number of MGallery Collection hotels will light up their facades in pink, following in the footsteps of iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Empire State Building. Hotel staff will proudly wear pink ribbons as they welcome guests with a signature Pink October drink.

To make the event even more special, MGallery has partnered with renowned French artist Djhor to create a limited-edition Pink Icon, symbolizing health, care, and courage. This exclusive design will be available for purchase both in hotels and online, with proceeds going toward breast cancer research.

Another exciting collaboration for this year's Pink October is the return of MGallery’s partnership with Pour Les Femmes, a sleepwear brand co-founded by actress Robin Wright and designer Karen Fowler. Specially crafted luxury sleepwear will be available for sale, with all proceeds going to breast cancer charities, either to Gustave Roussy or local NGOs, depending on where the purchase is made.

In Nairobi, the newly opened Gem Forest Hotel will hold a charity pyjama party, hosted by public speaker Pinky Ghelani, and will livestream a charity auction in support of the Faraja Cancer Trust.

Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai has officially unveiled visuals of its newly launched 10,000-square-foot ballroom, a landmark addition that sets a new benchmark for luxury celebrations in the city. Located in Worli, one of Mumbai’s most vibrant cultural and social districts, the ballroom has been conceptualised as a refined spatial experience rather than a traditional banqueting hall. Designed to feel expansive yet intimate, the venue seamlessly balances scale, proportion, and meticulous detailing.

Opened on 29th January 2026, the pillarless ballroom brings together architectural elegance, cutting-edge technology, and the signature personalised service synonymous with the Four Seasons brand. A private arrival porch and dedicated entrance establish a sense of exclusivity from the outset, leading guests into a 1,300-square-foot pre-function area ideal for welcome rituals, cocktail receptions, and elegant mingling.

The heart of the venue is a 5,700-square-foot uninterrupted main hall with soaring ceilings and clear sightlines, offering remarkable flexibility for weddings, milestone celebrations, social soirées, fashion showcases, automobile launches, and corporate galas. Integrated LED panelling across an entire wall, advanced audiovisual systems, and adaptable lighting allow the space to transition effortlessly from sunlit daytime ceremonies to immersive evening celebrations.

The ballroom’s design palette blends deep blues with nuanced gold accents and luminous whites, creating a setting that feels both contemporary and timeless. Subtle spherical motifs and bespoke finishes introduce warmth and architectural rhythm, while a live kitchen concept, anchored by a dedicated local maharaj, ensures that culinary artistry remains central to every occasion.

Speaking on the unveiling, Nitesh Gandhi, General Manager, Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai, said, “At Four Seasons, we believe celebrations should feel deeply personal and effortlessly grand. This ballroom has been crafted to honour life’s most meaningful milestones, where every wedding vow, every toast, and every gathering is elevated by design, service, and heartfelt attention.”

In keeping with the hotel’s commitment to conscious luxury, sustainability is thoughtfully woven into the ballroom’s offerings. These include locally sourced menus, collaborations with eco-luxe décor partners, and a zero-waste culinary philosophy that balances indulgence with responsibility.

The newly released imagery highlights the ballroom’s grandeur, design nuances, and immersive atmosphere, offering a compelling preview of what awaits. Now open, the ballroom at Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai positions itself as one of the city’s most coveted event destinations, where impeccable service, architectural sophistication, and thoughtful personalisation come together to create celebrations that are not just hosted, but exquisitely experienced.

Cygnett Hotels & Resorts has announced the signing of Cozzet Amritsar, marking a strategic expansion of its value-driven brand in Punjab’s thriving hospitality market.

The upcoming 54-key property will strengthen the group’s presence in one of North India’s most resilient tourism and commercial hubs, Amritsar.

Cozzet Amritsar will feature 54 well-appointed rooms, an all-day dining restaurant and a banquet facility equipped with modern technology, capable of hosting up to 500 guests.

The hotel is located approximately 20 minutes from the iconic Golden Temple and about 30 minutes from Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport. Its proximity to religious landmarks, retail districts and commercial zones positions it to cater to a balanced mix of pilgrimage, leisure, wedding and corporate demand.

Amritsar continues to record strong year-round footfall, driven by domestic and international visitors. Improved road infrastructure and enhanced airport connectivity have further strengthened demand across the midscale and upper-midscale hotel segments.

Cozzet Hotels are designed around a simple promise, clean rooms, quality food, reliable service and essential comforts such as Wi-Fi, gym access and hot showers, all at smart price points. Each property reflects a distinct local identity while maintaining consistent service standards.

Cozzet Amritsar will target value-conscious travellers seeking comfort, efficiency and dependable hospitality without compromising on experience.

Commenting on the signing, Sarbendra Sarkar, Founder and Managing Director, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts, said, “Amritsar is a high-performing hospitality market with strong year-round demand across pilgrimage, leisure and social events. With Cozzet Amritsar, we are strengthening our presence in Punjab by offering a product that balances comfort, efficiency and value. The city's improving infrastructure and expanding commercial activity make it a compelling long-term market for organised hospitality brands.”

The addition of Cozzet Amritsar aligns with Cygnett’s asset-light expansion strategy focused on high-growth secondary cities with strong demand fundamentals and limited organised supply.

Beyond the Golden Temple, the hotel’s location also offers convenient access to the Wagah Border, the War & Partition Museum and Amritsar’s bustling shopping streets, making it an attractive base for both business and leisure travellers.

With this signing, Cygnett continues to deepen its presence in North India, tapping into markets where tourism, weddings and corporate travel converge to drive sustained hospitality growth.
