Oravel Stays, the powerhouse parent company of the renowned OYO brand, is embarking on an ambitious journey to broaden its upscale hospitality footprint with the introduction of 12 new Palette hotels across India in 2024. This strategic expansion kicks off in Morbi, Gujarat, an area celebrated for its dynamic ceramics industry, underscoring the brand's commitment to tapping into regions with significant economic growth.
The Palette brand, which adopts a self-operated model akin to OYO’s successful formula, is designed to offer a cost-effective yet premium expansion strategy for Oravel Stays. This model allows for direct operational control over the properties, ensuring an enhanced guest experience through consistent service and quality standards. This approach marks a pivotal revival of the self-operated model that Oravel Stays had put on hold in 2020, after initially launching ten Palette hotels in key cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Mumbai under a pilot program the previous year.
The new 48-room hotel in Morbi is tailored to meet the burgeoning demand for high-quality accommodation options, driven by the region’s flourishing economic activities. Morbi, often hailed as the ceramic capital of India, plays a vital role in the country’s economy with over 800 tile factories contributing to 90% of India's tile production. The upcoming Palette hotel is poised to serve as a premium destination for business travellers, boasting amenities such as spacious rooms, conference facilities, a swimming pool, a restaurant, and uninterrupted free Wi-Fi access. Its strategic location near key business and industrial zones further enhances its appeal to corporate guests.
Aditya Sharma, Business Head at Oravel Stays, expressed enthusiasm about the new venture, highlighting Morbi's growing economic landscape and business opportunities. "With its booming economic scene and growing business opportunities, Morbi is an important market for us. We aim to provide business travellers with a premium hospitality experience and look forward to contributing to the growth story of Morbi," Sharma stated.
As Oravel Stays unfolds its expansion plan with the Palette brand, it reinforces its position as a leader in India's hospitality sector, catering to the evolving needs of modern travellers seeking premium accommodations. With an eye on economic hubs like Morbi, Oravel Stays is set to make significant inroads into India's premium hospitality market, offering unparalleled experiences for guests and contributing to the local economies of the regions it operates in.

The Lind Hotels is expanding its footprint beyond Boracay, with new properties planned in Coron and Siargao, marking a significant step in building a curated multi-island portfolio.
The brand, known for The Lind Boracay, has established a strong identity through a guest-first and adaptive approach. Located along the prime stretch of Station 1 White Beach, the property has built its reputation on personalised experiences, strong guest loyalty, and continuous evolution based on feedback. It also holds the distinction of being the first MICHELIN Guide-listed hotel in Boracay, a milestone that continues to shape its positioning.
Moving into its next phase, the brand is focusing on destinations that align with its philosophy rather than pursuing rapid scale.
The upcoming Lind Coron, scheduled to open next year, will introduce a villa-led, more personalised hospitality experience. Set on a peninsula, the property is designed to offer seclusion while remaining connected to the mainland, with plans for multiple dining venues, a dive centre, and expanded wellness and recreation facilities.
Meanwhile, Lind Siargao reflects a strategic move into high-potential destinations with limited premium supply. Known as one of the Philippines’ most sought-after island escapes, Siargao presents an opportunity to establish an early presence in a fast-evolving market while maintaining the brand’s distinct identity.
The expansion underscores a deliberate approach, focusing on long-term potential, destination relevance, and differentiated guest experiences rather than scale alone. The brand continues to operate independently, allowing it to remain agile and responsive to changing guest expectations.
As it grows, The Lind Hotels aims to carry forward the same ethos that defined its Boracay property, independent, adaptable, and consistently shaped around the guest experience, while tailoring each destination to its unique environment.

Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai has unveiled ‘Constellar’, the official name and identity of its expansive 10,000-square-foot ballroom facility. The announcement adds a new layer of meaning to the space, bringing together thoughtful design, symbolism, and a narrative that reflects the hotel’s architectural style and its legacy of refined hospitality.
Introduced earlier this year, the ballroom has already positioned itself as one of Mumbai’s most sophisticated venues for weddings, celebrations, and corporate gatherings. With the introduction of ‘Constellar’, the space now carries a strong visual and conceptual identity, giving it a deeper presence.
The name ‘Constellar’ takes inspiration from constellations, symbolising connection, brilliance, and timeless beauty. This idea is reflected in the logo, which features a four-circle icon drawn from the ballroom’s architectural detailing, especially the circular patterns seen at the grand entrance. These elements come together to form a balanced and elegant motif, linking the interiors with the visual identity. A subtle star formed within the design further connects to the theme of constellations, while the four circles also represent the Four Seasons legacy, making the brand an integral part of the design story.
“Constellar, inspired by constellations, redefines how we envision celebrations coming together with intention, beauty, and meaning. With Constellar, we have given our ballroom a distinct character rooted in contemporary design, advanced technology, culinary craftsmanship, and a passionate team. It is ultimately brought to life by our esteemed guests, who make each celebration unique and memorable,” shares Nitesh Gandhi, General Manager, Four Seasons Hotels Mumbai.
Located in Worli, the 10,000-square-foot facility brings together scale and elegance. It begins with a 500-square-foot private arrival foyer that opens into a 1,300-square-foot pre-function area, leading to a 7,000-square-foot banqueting space. At its centre is a 5,700-square-foot pillarless hall with a 19-foot ceiling, designed to host large gatherings with ease. The interiors follow a modern and contemporary style, while features such as a 1,000-square-foot LED wall, digital signage, and modular setups offer flexibility for different event formats. Seamless connectivity to The Great Room ensures smooth transitions for weddings, soirées, and large-scale launches.
Every event here is shaped by Four Season’s approach to personalised service, supported by dedicated specialists and attention to detail. With ‘Constellar’, the ballroom moves beyond just a venue, offering a space where design, technology, and meaningful experiences come together.
