Brigade Group Joins Hands with Accor to Launch Grand Mercure Gandhinagar GIFT City

GIFT CITY developed with India’s first ‘Intelligent and Green Infrastructure’ welcomes its first international hotel with Grand Mercure Gandhinagar GIFT City. Based on the concept of leading financial service nations, GIFT City is planned with state of art connectivity, infrastructure and transportation access integrated into the design of the city. Located on the bank of the Sabarmati River, GIFT City connects the Business capital (Ahmedabad) and Political capital (Gandhinagar) of Gujarat.

Grand Mercure Gandhinagar GIFT City features 151 well-equipped guestrooms. The nine-floor hotel, amidst GIFT City, is built to cater to the demands of seasoned frequent travellers looking for quality accommodation and admirers of the inventive homegrown interior. Keeping the state’s rich cultural, historical, culinary and geographical dimensions a topmost priority, the hotel incorporates local touchpoints to all its premium services, food, accommodation and healthy lifestyle options.

Through storytelling, the property brings the distinctive culture and traditions of Gujarat to life, with a local interpretation of the four brand signatures: Sense of Welcome, Sense of Food and Beverage, Sense of Wellness and Sense of Culture and Discovery. Inspired by the rich culinary legacy of Gujarat, the hotel has a speciality restaurant Samaroh, which offers local quintessential Gujarati delicacies. Guests are welcomed with a Gujarati Thali which truly captures the flavours of the state and is a treat to reckon with.

“We are extremely delighted to present Grand Mercure Gandhinagar GIFT City, our very first hotel outside South India and the seventh hotel by Brigade Group. It is our privilege to have been offered an opportunity to create this landmark project in Gujarat and we are grateful for all the support and encouragement we have received from the Government and from the GIFT City authorities. Being the first hotel development in GIFT City, we have spared no efforts in ensuring top quality in terms of the product and services. We are confident our guests will love the experience of staying and dining at the hotel,” said M.R. Jaishankar, CMD, Brigade Group.

“We are extremely happy to launch Grand Mercure Gandhinagar GIFT City, the first international branded hotel, in the foremost operational smart city of the country. With the support of Brigade Group, we have successfully established three Grand Mercure properties in the country and look forward to collaborating for more hotels going forward,” said Jean-Michel Cassé, Chief Operating Officer (COO) – India & South Asia, Accor.

Located in the proximity of corporate houses, Grand Mercure Gandhinagar has six meeting rooms, which are the perfect place for conferences, training programs and social events. The hotel has a pillarless ballroom that can comfortably accommodate up to 200 delegates. Leisure facilities include a state-of-the-art fitness centre, an infinity pool with a separate party area and a yoga pavilion to rejuvenate the mind and body.

“We are pleased to open our hotel in GIFT City,” said Bijoy Sengupta, General Manager, Grand Mercure Gandhinagar GIFT City. “We will ensure that the hotel’s new standard of hospitality will justify the purpose of all our guests from leisure to business; personal to professional. We look forward to catering to the city’s growing tourism and business activities,” he further added.
