Its unique blend of pristine beaches, vibrant culture, and thriving tourism industry makes it attractive for both business and leisure. The hotel, a five-star property, serves a diverse clientele, making it a perfect addition to our portfolio."

Jai Sreedhar, Joint Managing Director, commented on the affordable luxury sector's growth: "New-age travelers seek experiences that combine high-end amenities with accessible pricing. Elements by Rosetta is designed to meet these needs, offering luxury and comfort in a stunning setting. We believe our new property will resonate with travelers who value quality and sophistication without compromising on affordability."

Since its inception in 2017, Rosetta Hospitality has been dedicated to creating exceptional experiences across various destinations. The brand's portfolio includes luxurious eco-friendly resorts and unforgettable culinary journeys. As part of its expansion plan, Rosetta Hospitality will soon add properties in Kalyapura, near Bengaluru, and Magge.

Minimalist Hotels has strengthened its presence in India’s spiritual capital with the opening of its second property in Varanasi, located in DIG Colony, just two kilometres from its first hotel. Launched on 15 June 2025, the new 24-room hotel reflects the brand’s sharp focus on design-led urban hospitality that appeals to both spiritual and leisure travellers.

The decision to expand came on the back of sustained high occupancy at its first Varanasi outpost, especially during major cultural and religious events. With the city drawing both domestic and international visitors year-round, the new hotel offers a minimal yet modern stay experience for travellers seeking comfort without excess.
