Strategically located near the city's top attractions and corporate hubs, and just a short 15-minute drive from the airport, IRA By Orchid serves as a perfect base for exploring landmarks like the Ajanta Ellora Caves and Daulatabad Fort.

The hotel offers a range of meticulously designed rooms, including Deluxe, Premier, and Suite categories. These accommodations blend contemporary design with comfort, catering to all travel needs. Guests can enjoy amenities like centralized air-conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi, in-room safes, and non-smoking rooms.

Dr. Vithal Kamat, Chairman of Kamat Hotels India Ltd, shared his enthusiasm for welcoming guests to the new IRA outlet. He highlighted the Kamat brand's dedication to exceptional food and banquet services and expressed his vision for IRA as a model for future expansion in the Marathwada region.

Vishal Vithal Kamat, Executive Director of KHIL, further added that in line with IRA's philosophy, the hotel will contribute 1% of its sales to community welfare, focusing on the education of the Girl Child and collaborating with grassroots organizations to positively impact the Sambhaji Nagar community.

This new venture promises to elevate the hospitality experience in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, offering guests a unique blend of modern luxury and traditional charm.

Thane Gets a New Vibehaus: At Bae Opens for Food, Conversations & Cocktails

By Hariharan U

Published on November 19, 2025

Thane’s dining scene just got a fresh new energy with the grand opening of At Bae, the latest venture from the House of MH04. Spanning 7,500 sq. ft. with seating for 260 guests, At Bae is designed to be more than a restaurant, it’s a Vibehaus, where food, conversations, and cocktails come together to create memorable experiences.

The interiors take cues from Scandinavian design infused with artistic rust tones, creating a space that feels both intimate and expansive. Lighting, textures, and curated music evolve through the day, managed by the in-house Vibe Manager to match every mood. Regular visitors can also join the Baelievers Club, an exclusive membership offering perks, priority event access, curated experiences, and surprises. The playful ‘Bae Wars’ keep the social energy alive with friendly competitions and signature shots.

At the heart of At Bae is Thane’s longest-running bar, stretching over 45 feet, featuring TOIT craft beers like Tint in Wit, Nitro Stout, and Basmati Blonde Ale. Signature cocktails bring global classics with an Indian twist, including:

Aam-Chi Thane – white rum, mango wine, mango cream cheese

Narcos of Thane – tequila, mezcal, jalapeño

Stone Sour – whiskey, Dagadphool, ginger honey syrup

“With At Bae, we wanted to create a space that brings a whole new vibe to Thane’s dining scene, one that feels familiar yet refreshingly different,” said Vihar Paymode, Co-Founder. “Whether it’s brunch, cocktails, or late-night conversations, At Bae adapts to your rhythm. Every detail, from Scandinavian-inspired design to curated playlists and handcrafted menus, is aimed at making people feel at home while discovering something new every visit.”

Chef & Co-Founder Soham Joshi adds, “At Bae was born to innovate familiar flavours, taking authentic regional dishes and giving them a contemporary twist. From Poha Crusted Malvani Prawns to Palak Burrata, we strike a balance between creativity and comfort. Each cocktail mirrors the same spirit of experimentation found in our menu.”

The food menu celebrates global inspiration with a desi heart, featuring dishes like Malabari Tacos, Thecha Hummus with Mirgunda, and wood-fired pizzas. At Bae is more than food, it’s a destination to connect, unwind, and belong. Here, BAE can be anyone — a friend, family, loved one, or even the space itself.

About At Bae

At Bae, from the House of MH04, is Thane’s newest all-day dining and social destination. Combining global flavours with local soul, the 7,500 sq. ft. venue offers wood-fired pizzas, craft beers, and an experiential menu celebrating both international inspiration and Indian creativity. With vibe-led interiors, curated cocktails, and a focus on connection, At Bae is designed as a modern community hub where every meal and moment is meant to be shared.
