Sofitel has opened its first hotel in India, the
Sofitel Mumbai BKC, located in the city’s business district, the
Bandra Kurla Complex.
Featuring a contemporary architectural style,
the decor has been created by the Franco-Spanish designer Isabelle Miaja who has skillfully combined French inspiration with Indian
culture. When designing the hotel, she drew upon references from
Indian art, including temples, sculptures, and emblematic
monuments, while adding an attractive contemporary touch.
“Overall, the architecture should enable
the Sofitel Mumbai to stand out as a successful combination of
Indian culture and French style, and with the project nearing
completion we have worked with French and Indian artists in order
to give the hotel this unique aspect. The most striking feature is
a metal elephant weighing several tonnes situated on the terrace
of the Jyran restaurant and which ‘walks on water creating a
memorable image” said the architect Isabelle Miaja.
Among the six bars and restaurants, the “Pondichéry
Café”, specialises in combinations of Indian and French flavours
and the “Jyran”, a restaurant featuring a classical Indian decor
and proposing traditional North Indian cuisine. “L’Artisan –
Épicerie, Pâtisserie, Chocolaterie”, is a perfect place to enjoy
chocolate, cooked meats and cheeses just as you would in a typical
Parisian cafe. For its part, the ultramodern Bar Diamantaire,
gives pride of place to India’s diamond traders. This bar, which
features a magnificent design and India’s first wine tower is the
perfect place to meet up, whether for business or among friends.
The Sofitel Mumbai BKC also has nine rooms for
meetings and other events, in addition to a So SPA and a So FIT
fitness centre the hotel also has an open-air swimming pool.
“I am particularly happy to be welcoming
this new flagship hotel to our network. The Sofitel Mumbai BKC is
a precious asset for the brand both in India and internationally.
In addition to its strategic location in the new Mumbai, its
architecture and design have ensured that this establishment
stands out as one of the city’s most modern projects. Two other
projects will shortly be completed, including a Sofitel So” said
Robert Gaymer-Jones, CEO of Sofitel Monde.
