Novotel Bhopal chairman managing director Pradeep Agarwal said: “Being from Bhopal for four generations, this city has always been much more than just a place of business for our family; it’s our home.

“The vision behind bringing Novotel to Bhopal was deeply personal, to give our city something that reflects its growing aspirations and its place on the global map.

“As we welcome global guests and the Bhopali community, our focus is not just guest satisfaction, but genuine guest delight.”

Room inventory includes superior and deluxe units as well as junior suites and standard suites, configured to support business tasks, rest, and shared family stays.

Novotel Bhopal’s Food Exchange is an all-day outlet providing breakfast, lunch, and evening meals across a selection of domestic and international dishes.

Alongside this, Gourmet Bar operates throughout the day, serving drinks and informal meals.

The hotel also houses a dedicated bar focused on Awadhi cuisine paired with craft cocktails.

For meetings and functions, Novotel Bhopal supplies approximately 13,553ft2 of adaptable event space configured to host corporate sessions, smaller private gatherings, and large-scale functions.

The property also contains an on-site fitness centre.

Novotel Bhopal general manager Satyam Vij said: “Opening Novotel Bhopal is an exciting moment for us, particularly as this is the brand’s first property in Madhya Pradesh.

“For us, this is more than the opening of a new hotel; it is an opportunity to become part of a city that has a distinctive identity, a rich cultural heritage and a rapidly evolving future.

“At Novotel Bhopal, we want to bring together the warmth of Indian hospitality with the contemporary spirit of Novotel, creating a place where business and leisure travellers, families and the local community feel equally welcome.”
