Four Seasons plans for Bengaluru
Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, along with Indian property developer Embassy Group, will open a new Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences later this year in Bengaluru, one of India’s fastest growing cities.
Located within Embassy One, a mixed-use development consisting of three new buildings – including the North and South Towers, and a third building housing office and retail space – the properties will debut as Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru and Four Seasons Private Residences Bengaluru in summer 2018.
The 230-key hotel, designed by HKS Architects and Studio u+a, with interiors by Yabu Pushelburg, will be located in the South Tower of the development, while the 105 Private Residences will occupy the upper floors of the South Tower as well as all 30 floors of the North Tower.
Led by General Manager Fredrik Blomqvist, previously of Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai, the hotel will seat more than 600 people across three expansive dining outlets: a 24-hour restaurant, a lobby lounge and bar, and an Asian brasserie and bar designed by LW Design Group.
Elsewhere, additional facilities include a spa and salon, fitness centre, and meeting and event spaces. Landscape architects P Landscape (PLA) will also create an outdoor oasis featuring a pool and waterfall, butterfly garden and ribbon lawn, located between the North and South Towers.
“Bengaluru is a very exciting city, in part through the tremendous progress of industry, technology, research and education, with just as much to offer in the way of culture and nightlife,” comments J. Allen Smith, President and CEO, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. “It’s attractive to business and leisure travellers, and with a growing population of more than ten million, is also a significant residential market.
“India is an incredibly important market for us at Four Seasons, and we have been looking for the right opportunity to expand our presence here. This project is the perfect opportunity to do so, in an ideal location and with our visionary partners at Embassy Group, who are deeply involved and committed to the evolution of this city.”
Jitu Virwani, Chairman and Managing Director, Embassy Group, adds: “We are proud to be part of the incredible growth happening in Bengaluru, and look forward to introducing a new hub of activity in the city. Whether browsing the shops, dining at one of the restaurants, staying with us at the hotel, or living with us as a private residence owner, Embassy One will offer a range of luxury experiences. Through our partnership with Four Seasons, guests and residents can expect the highest levels of personalised service that the brand is known to deliver around the world, and is unmatched in Bengaluru, helping to distinguish Embassy One as offering the best accommodation and living experience in the city.”
Situated in northern Bengaluru, The Embassy One development is a short drive to Kempegowda International Airport, business districts, Bengaluru Palace and Cubbon Park. The opening marks the second Four Seasons property in India, following the arrival of Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai in 2006.
