Riding on the back of its successful futuristic design strategy and location, Novotel Pune offers a luxurious stay in the heart of Viman Nagar, a tiny neighbourhood of Pune. Premier rooms, proximity to the city’s airport (3km away) and railway station, top-notch facilities for corporate and social gatherings, make it one of the best addresses in town for both business and leisure travellers. The 24-hours reception and restaurant at the hotel makes it convenient to check in, check out and dine.
The Phoenix Market City, a popular mall, is only five minutes’ walk from the hotel while Pune’s prime business hubs, such as EON IT PARK, World Trade Centre (WTC) and Magarpatta, are about 20 minutes’ drive away.
Futuristic design

Moving beyond the typical design for business hotels, Novotel Pune has adopted what it calls the ‘novolution’. Designed by Sundukovy Sisters, the premium category rooms utilise plain architectural volumes and lines, which make the space intuitive, elegant and futuristic while the neutral colour scheme offers a soothing experience to guests. The cube is the base of the layout with two options for sink organisation – open and closed. Smart lighting, interactive mirrors and touch-screen controls are some of the facilities included to heighten the novel experience.
Apart from the premium rooms, the hotel offers deluxe rooms (including one special access room), executive rooms, and suites (with separate bedroom and living areas). The bouquet of room amenities include complimentary 24 hours wi-fi connectivity, mini bar, tea-coffee maker, iron, ironing board, hair dryer, electronic safe, bathroom amenities and 24 hours room service.
Culinary odyssey
The all-day dining restaurant The Square, fitted with international cooking stations, offers diverse flavours. You may enjoy a relaxed Sunday buffet brunch here. The aptly named Bar-Code lounge bar offers a wide range of wines and spirits.
If you are keen to enjoy the outdoors, there is Soak, an open-air poolside restaurant and lounge. Try their teas, coffees, cocktails, juices and munchies as you relax by the poolside (you may bring along your kids too) as you enjoy the sunset view across the city.
Fitness oasis
If all that comfort and eating makes you worried about missing your fitness regimen, go for a splash at the pool on the second floor or try the adjoining fitness centre which remains open 24×7.
Elevated stay for little guests
Travelling with pets or kids? No problem. Novotel Pune allows children below 16 years of age to stay for free with their parents in the same room (there is a sofa bed for them). There is a kid’s play area too with interactive play stations where young guests can engage in their favourite games.
Meetings and banquets
Facilities at the refurbished Novotel Pune have made organising business meets and social gatherings a breeze. Along with well-equipped 24 -hour business centre facilities, Crimson, the divisible pillar less ballroom of 4,453 square feet, is ideal for grand parties and wedding banquets.
Novotel Pune offers a range of flexible meeting rooms with capacities to accommodate 10-350 people. For those who want to hold a hassle-free corporate meet, Novotel Pune offers all-inclusive packages for conferences, training, etc., innovative themed breaks and VIP boardroom packages.
