Hotel design is an integral aspect of its ethos, even as it becomes all about cultural storytelling and local immersion.

Crafting Stories

Hospitality design is becoming a powerful tool in crafting immersive experiences that reflect local heritage and traditions. Design today is so much more than how a space looks - it’s about how it makes you feel.

"By thoughtfully using local materials, patterns, and textures, we can create spaces that give guests a real sense of Mumbai's heritage. It's about making them feel connected to the city from the moment they step in. Every element of our hotel, from wall art to lighting to furniture, can tell a story. By incorporating Mumbai's culture and history, we turn Novotel Mumbai International Airport into a living narrative. Guests don't just stay here; they experience the city's journey and spirit through the space itself," says Rachita Sood, General Manager, Novotel Mumbai International Airport.
