Rosetta Hospitality is set to make a splash in the affordable luxury market with the launch of Elements by Rosetta-Varca in South Goa. This new venture aims to offer a perfect blend of comfort and high-end amenities, targeting the increasing demand for affordable luxury travel.
The Elements by Rosetta will open in two phases. Phase 1 introduces 74 meticulously designed rooms, while Phase 2 will add 68 suites, bringing the total number of rooms to 142. Additionally, Rosetta Hospitality plans to debut Collins De La Mer, a three-level beachfront shack that promises breathtaking ocean views from each floor, enhancing the overall tropical experience.
Guests at Elements by Rosetta can enjoy a variety of amenities designed for relaxation and entertainment. These include a swimming pool with a dedicated kids' area, a children's play area, a family activity center, and multiple dining options such as Cucina Rosetta and Collins Bar-By-the-Pool. The all-day dining restaurant, Rosetta Engage, along with a gym and a spa, ensures guests have everything they need for a comfortable stay. The property features five categories of rooms, ranging from 400 to 600 square feet, with some rooms offering bathtubs and others featuring outdoor jacuzzis.
For events and meetings, Elements by Rosetta offers versatile venues, including a 4,000 square-foot grand ballroom, a scenic 5,000 square-foot outdoor lawn, and well-appointed board rooms. These spaces are perfect for corporate meetings, weddings, and other significant gatherings.
Rosetta Hospitality is known for its exceptional regional cuisine, a reputation bolstered by the success of Ouzo by Fire in Indiranagar, Bengaluru. At Varca, this tradition continues with a diverse menu featuring the finest culinary offerings from around the world, available both in restaurants and through in-room dining.
Club Rosetta, India's premier luxury hospitality club, offers an exclusive vacation ownership program. Members enjoy a week-long holiday annually (four weekdays plus three weekends) for 10 or 20 years, secured by a refundable deposit. The program provides access to 240 resorts worldwide, ensuring a variety of travel options and unparalleled quality.
Errol Fernandes, Chairman and Managing Director of Rosetta Hospitality, highlighted the strategic choice of location: "In our quest to establish ourselves as a leading hospitality brand, we recognized Goa as the ideal location. 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. Future locations under consideration include Bandipur, Kabini, Wayanad, Munnar, Ooty, Mahabalipuram, and Udaipur.
For travelers seeking an elevated experience, Club Rosetta's exclusive membership program offers numerous benefits, enhancing every journey to unforgettable heights.

The Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) has announced the signing of a new Ginger hotel in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, reinforcing its strategy to expand in India’s growing commercial centres. This greenfield project will be developed in collaboration with JK Urbanscapes Developers Limited, marking a continued partnership between the two groups.
Strategically located on Kalpi Road, near the Kamala Cricket Club, the 100-key Ginger Kanpur promises excellent connectivity to key business and leisure districts, making it well-suited for both corporate travellers and tourists visiting the city.
"Kanpur is a prominent manufacturing and commercial hub in Uttar Pradesh, making it an ideal location for Ginger’s offering. This signing is part of our strategy to build Ginger’s presence in such emerging cities," said Deepika Rao, Executive Vice President, New Businesses and Hotel Openings, IHCL. "We are delighted to extend our partnership with JK Urbanscapes Developers Limited."
The hotel will feature Ginger’s signature Qmin, a vibrant bar, meeting facilities, and a fitness centre — offering a seamless blend of work and leisure for its guests.
Maneesh Mansingka, CEO of JK Urbanscapes Developers Limited, added, "We are happy to continue our partnership with IHCL. Our projects with the company will contribute to Kanpur’s hospitality landscape."
With this signing, IHCL now has 34 hotels across Uttar Pradesh, including 21 under various stages of development, underscoring its robust commitment to the state’s hospitality growth.
JK Urbanscapes Developers Limited is part of the historic JK Singhania family business, whose legacy spans over 140 years with interests in sectors like cement, paper, tyres, defence, chemicals, healthcare, education, retail, and IT. The group’s real estate arm, originally incorporated as JK Cotton Ltd. in 1924, continues to play a key role in shaping urban infrastructure.
The new Ginger hotel is set to contribute significantly to Kanpur’s evolving hospitality landscape, catering to the dynamic needs of the city’s growing commercial and leisure segments.
Radisson Hotel Group (RHG) has expanded its presence in Gujarat with the opening of D Square Statue of Unity Kevadia, a member of Radisson Individuals, strategically situated in Ekta Nagar. Nestled in the picturesque Narmada district, this hotel blends local charm with contemporary hospitality, serving as a gateway to one of India’s most iconic tourist destinations.
Located close to the Statue of Unity, the world’s tallest statue, the hotel also offers convenient access to attractions like Ekta Mall, Jungle Safari, Children Nutrition Park, and the Narmada riverfront. Its proximity to Ekta Nagar Railway Station enhances accessibility for both domestic and international travellers. Select rooms even feature panoramic views of the Statue of Unity, the lush valley, and the upcoming Tribal Museum, making it an exceptional base to explore the region.
"With the opening of D Square Statue of Unity Kevadia, we further strengthen our footprint in Gujarat, one of India’s fastest-growing tourism corridors," said Nikhil Sharma, Managing Director and COO, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group. "We remain aligned with the government’s vision of transforming Ekta Nagar into a model tourism and smart city destination. Our hotel stands as a testament to high-quality hospitality that complements the area’s cultural and sustainable growth."
The hotel houses 91 tastefully designed rooms, blending warm aesthetics with modern amenities to create a comfortable retreat. Guests can indulge in flavourful vegetarian fare at Sankalp All Day Dining Restaurant, known for its signature service and refined dishes. For celebrations and business gatherings, the hotel offers versatile event spaces — the Silver Pavilion, perfect for weddings and conferences, and Sapphire, suited for intimate meetings or private events.
Shivalik Goenka, Co-owner of D Square Statue of Unity Kevadia, noted, "The hotel is a tribute to Gujarat’s spirit — rooted in culture, driven by progress. We aim to deliver experiences that are both meaningful and memorable."
Adding to this, Fakruddin Khan, General Manager, shared, "Our focus is on offering a warm, welcoming experience that beautifully marries comfort, service, and the natural splendour of Ekta Nagar. We’re excited to host guests from across India and beyond."
With this opening, Radisson Hotel Group continues to invest in India’s emerging leisure destinations, reinforcing its commitment to offer high-quality stays that celebrate local heritage and drive sustainable tourism.
Hilton Bengaluru Embassy Manyata Business Park wrapped up its month-long third anniversary celebrations on a green note by hosting a special tree-planting drive in partnership with SayTrees Environmental Trust. The event saw 17 Heads of Department (HODs) from the hotel roll up their sleeves and plant saplings at the Rail Wheel Factory in North Bengaluru, underlining the hotel’s deep-rooted commitment to sustainability and community.
This drive marked the culmination of the hotel’s unique anniversary initiative — the “Book a Room, Plant a Tree” campaign, launched in May. As part of this initiative, a tree was planted in the guest’s name for every room booked, turning each stay into a living tribute.
"This final planting is a celebration of purpose," said Manish Garg, General Manager, Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn Bengaluru Embassy Manyata Business Park. "We began the month by planting trees with our guests. Today, our leadership team joined hands to reinforce our pledge — that hospitality can and should leave the world better than we found it."
So far, around 2,000 trees have been planted, each geotagged and cared for by local farmers to ensure a survival rate of over 90%. Guests can even track their tree via a digital dashboard, adding a personal, lasting touch to their stay. This model doesn’t just help the planet — it also supports farmer livelihoods, making the impact both ecological and social.
Sustainability is woven into the fabric of Hilton Bengaluru Embassy Manyata’s daily operations. With over 98% of its energy sourced from renewables, a solar-powered system heating 15,000 litres of water daily, and an in-house glass bottling plant eliminating 2,500 plastic bottles each day, the hotel is setting benchmarks in responsible luxury. Its guest rooms are free of single-use plastics, featuring reusable mugs and refillable dispensers instead — small details that add up to big change.
Opened in 2022, Hilton Bengaluru Embassy Manyata has quickly emerged as a go-to address for business travellers in North Bengaluru, offering 60,000 sq. ft. of flexible event space and world-class amenities. As one of South India’s largest dual-brand properties, it continues to redefine what sustainable hospitality can look like.
While this campaign may have wrapped up, its impact will keep growing — tree by tree, guest by guest.
