Roseate Hotels & Resorts has introduced its new Bespoke Butler Services, a premium hospitality offering crafted to deliver truly personalised luxury experiences. Now available at Club Rooms in Roseate House, New Delhi, and also offered at The Roseate, New Delhi and The Roseate Ganges, Rishikesh, this service combines intuitive care with elegant detail — all easily accessible through a dedicated widget on the Roseate Guest App.
Each guest is treated to warm, anticipatory service, with butlers going beyond routine hospitality to create moments of delight. Whether it’s a romantic turndown, an anniversary surprise, or a fun birthday setup for children, the butlers take care of everything — from welcome messages and fresh blooms to themed balloons, cakes, and curated drinks. For younger guests, age-appropriate activities like tipi tents, art kits, and character-themed surprises turn their stay into an unforgettable adventure.
Kush Kapoor, CEO of Roseate Hotels & Resorts, shared, “At Roseate, we believe that true luxury is defined by thoughtfulness. It’s the quiet comfort of having your needs anticipated, the joy of small but meaningful gestures, and the feeling of being genuinely cared for. Our Butler Services are a reflection of this philosophy — designed to offer guests a sense of ease, experience, and emotional connection throughout their stay.”
With this new service, the brand blends efficiency, warmth, and design to create memorable stays that are as personal as they are elegant — all while keeping convenience just a tap away. Whether you're a couple celebrating a milestone, a family on holiday, or a business traveller on a quick visit, Roseate’s butlers are ready to make each moment feel effortless and special.
About Roseate Hotels & Resorts:
Roseate Hotels & Resorts is a luxury hospitality group with eight niche properties across India and the UK. With more properties under development, the brand is known for its avant-garde design, meticulous service, and immersive experiences that balance business efficiency with leisure luxury.
Cygnett Hotels & Resorts, one of India’s fastest-growing hospitality chains, has officially launched its newest property—Cygnett Inn Dibrugarh—marking the group’s third hotel in Assam and further deepening its commitment to Northeast India. Ideally located just 15 minutes from the Dibrugarh railway station and 25 minutes from the airport, the hotel promises guests a seamless experience of comfort, affordability, and convenience.
Cygnett Inn Dibrugarh offers 50 tastefully designed rooms spread across three categories, each featuring stylish interiors and modern amenities to ensure a relaxing and memorable stay. Staying true to the brand's “affordable luxury” proposition, the property blends contemporary design with signature Cygnett hospitality, all at budget-friendly rates.
Guests can indulge in a vibrant culinary experience at C Pavilion, the hotel's in-house restaurant that accommodates up to 70 guests and serves a mix of local and international cuisine. For those looking to unwind, Metro Bar provides a cozy atmosphere with space for 38 guests and a curated beverage selection.
Corporate and event travelers are also well-catered to. The property features a fully equipped meeting room called Discussion, perfect for small group discussions of up to 50 people. The larger Summit banquet hall can host up to 250 guests, making it ideal for business conferences, seminars, weddings, and product launches.
“Cygnett Inn Dibrugarh is the ideal venue, be it for corporate meetings or social events like weddings. Northeast expansion is integral to our strategy to establish Cygnett Hotels & Resorts as a 100-plus strong hotel group in the coming years,” said Mr. Sarbendra Sarkar, Founder & Managing Director, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts.
Cygnett was one of the earliest branded hotel chains to enter the Northeast, and with this launch, the group moves closer to its goal of establishing a 2000-key presence in the region by 2029. Currently, Cygnett operates five hotels in the Northeast, with nine more in various stages of development.
“Northeast India has become an important part of our expansion strategy due to its rising tourism appeal, improving connectivity and growing demand for quality accommodations in the region. The Indian government has created a conducive environment for businesses to invest in Northeast India, and we are already seeing a strong corporate travel demand besides a robust growth from leisure and wedding segments,” added Mr. Sarkar.
Dibrugarh, known for its lush tea gardens and colonial history, is a growing travel destination. Key attractions include the Jagannath Temple, Raidongia Doul, and Moiramora Than. Cygnett Inn Dibrugarh aims to offer not just a place to stay, but a value-rich experience with consistent service, quality food, and sustainable practices at its core.
In a significant parallel development, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts has announced a strategic alliance with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts to bring La Quinta® by Wyndham and Registry Collection Hotels® to India. As part of this partnership, all Cygnett brands will be integrated into Wyndham’s global distribution and rewards system, tapping into a 115 million-member base. This collaboration is expected to drive the addition of 60+ new hotels across India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal over the next decade.
With bold expansion goals, local commitment, and global partnerships, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts continues to redefine hospitality in one of India’s fastest-growing regions.
