Radisson Hotel Group has introduced Braille menus across its properties in South Asia, a move designed to foster inclusivity and enhance the dining experience for visually impaired guests. In partnership with the Confederation of Indian Industry’s (CII) Young Indians, this initiative reflects Radisson’s commitment to creating welcoming and accessible environments for all.
The introduction of Braille menus is part of the Group’s larger effort to align with its brand promise of ‘Every Moment Matters,’ ensuring that guests of all abilities can enjoy independent dining experiences. Visually impaired guests often face challenges when using traditional menus, which can lead to a reliance on others to make meal choices. By implementing Braille menus, Radisson Hotel Group empowers these guests, enabling them to confidently explore the dining options available across its 125 operating hotels.
Additionally, in select properties, Radisson is integrating scannable audio QR codes, allowing guests to listen to the menu at their own pace. This feature will soon be extended across the Group’s hotel portfolio, providing yet another layer of accessibility.
“At Radisson Hotel Group, we are committed to creating spaces that are welcoming and accessible for all our guests,” said Nikhil Sharma, managing director and senior area vice president, South Asia at Radisson Hotel Group. “Introducing Braille menus is an important step toward building inclusive dining experiences, ensuring that everyone—regardless of their abilities—feels valued.”
Some early adopters of this initiative include Radisson Blu Marina New Delhi, Radisson Blu Plaza Hyderabad, Radisson Blu Plaza Mysuru, Radisson RED Mohali, and Radisson Blu Resort Kumbhalgarh, among others.
Rakesh Sethi, corporate executive chef, Radisson Hotel Group South Asia, emphasized the significance of this initiative, stating, “Dining is not just about food; it’s an experience that should be available to everyone, without limitations. The introduction of Braille menus is a significant move in creating a truly inclusive environment.”
The collaboration between Radisson Hotel Group and CII’s Young Indians is a testament to both organizations’ shared vision of inclusivity. Tarang Khurana, national chairman of CII – Young Indians, highlighted, “We are proud to partner with Radisson Hotel Group in this impactful initiative. This collaboration demonstrates a strong commitment to inclusivity, and we are confident that it will inspire others in the hospitality industry to adopt similar practices.”
Rohit Puri, national chair of accessibility at CII – Young Indians, added, “By introducing Braille menus, we are making meaningful progress toward ensuring that every individual, regardless of their abilities, can enjoy the experience of dining independently and confidently.”
Radisson’s commitment to accessibility through these initiatives not only reflects its dedication to diversity and inclusion but also sets a new standard for the hospitality industry in ensuring equal access to experiences for all.

The Formula 1 weekend in Miami just got a high-powered desi twist as Rana Daggubati, Indian actor and entrepreneur, lit up the city’s nightlife with his Loca Loka tequila crew at an exclusive party that blended global glam with Indian flair.
Held during one of the most anticipated weekends on Miami’s social calendar, the event saw Rana rubbing shoulders with hip-hop legend 50 Cent, rap star Flo Rida, and Oscar-winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr. Photos and videos from the night captured Rana enjoying the vibe, sharing light moments and tequila shots with global icons, and enjoying a surprise performance by 50 Cent that took the energy up a notch.
Rana, co-owner of the premium tequila brand Loca Loka, was in Miami promoting the label alongside partners Anirudh Ravichander, India's music sensation and Sree Harsha Vadlamudi, a known serial entrepreneur. The Loca Loka bash became a hotspot for networking, celebration, and showcasing how Indian creativity is making waves on a global scale.
Known for fusing business with pop culture, Rana has been steadily positioning Loca Loka as a bold lifestyle brand. The F1 party was a celebration of this vision where Indian enterprise met global swagger in the heart of Miami.
From catching up backstage with 50 Cent to toasting with Flo Rida and laughing with Cuba Gooding Jr., Rana Daggubati’s Miami moment was a vivid reflection of his growing presence in the global lifestyle space.
While F1 was all about speed, for Rana and Loca Loka, it was about style, celebration, and cultural crossover, a spirited moment for Indian entrepreneurship on the world stage.

About THE Park Hotels:
THE Park Hotels – Navi Mumbai are pioneers in luxury boutique hospitality, known for their contemporary design, curated experiences, and pulse-driven energy across India’s top destinations.
Wynnd Hotels, one of NCR’s emerging hospitality names, proudly unveils The Dark Room—a striking new cafe-club concept that reintroduces the pulse of authentic nightlife to Noida. Located on the 5th floor of Galaxy Blue Sapphire Mall, Greater Noida West, The Dark Room is more than just a venue—it’s a vibe.
Designed for night owls, music lovers, and adventurers, The Dark Room channels the raw energy and allure of classic underground clubs. With bold black-and-red interiors and owl motifs across its walls, the space exudes an atmosphere that is both mysterious and magnetic. It’s crafted to evoke the nostalgia of a time when stepping into a club meant stepping into another world.
“The Dark Room is our response to what nightlife has lacked,” says Gaurav Sapra, Founder of The Dark Room by Wynnd Hotels. “At one point, entering a club was like entering another universe—where the lights, the music, and the people all combined to make you feel alive. That’s the vibe we’ve brought back here. It’s a place for those seeking more than a drink—they’re looking for an experience that lingers.”
The venue is open until 2:00 a.m., making it a perfect late-night haven for those looking to unwind, groove to live music, or dance through the night. At a time when much of the city’s nightlife has shifted toward quieter cafe culture, The Dark Room reclaims the essence of high-energy clubbing.
Beyond its music and ambiance, The Dark Room is also a premium dining destination. Guests can indulge in a diverse multi-cuisine menu, offering international flavours, gourmet bar food, and comfort dishes—carefully curated to pair with the club’s exotic beverage selection. The full-service bar features super-premium spirits, seasonal blends, and creative signature cocktails and mocktails.
Whether you're there for the beats, the bites, or the buzz, The Dark Room promises a return to nightlife that’s vibrant, unapologetic, and unforgettable.
