16 Years of Elegance, Emotion, and Excellence at Sayaji Pune

With a commitment rooted in warmth and a reputation built on excellence, Sayaji Pune completes 16 years as a landmark in the city’s hospitality landscape. Over the past decade and a half, the hotel has grown not just in scale but in stature, evolving into a name synonymous with trust, personalized service, and memorable experiences.

This 16-year journey has been one of continuous evolution. At Sayaji, growth has never been defined by the addition of rooms or properties alone. It has been about making every guest feel like the only guest. From business travellers to families, from first-time visitors to loyal patrons, Sayaji has remained the destination of choice for those seeking more than just a stay.

Each year has brought with it deeper insights into the essence of hospitality, allowing the team to refine experiences while staying true to the brand’s values. The emotional connection that guests develop, returning year after year, continues to set Sayaji apart in a crowded hospitality space. While physical expansion has been visible, the brand’s true success lies in the stories that surround it.

Strategic growth into non-metro cities through Enrise and Effotel formats further validated Sayaji’s vision. These ventures proved that premium hospitality is not exclusive to metro markets. They opened new avenues while maintaining the quality and care that the brand is known for.Behind the scenes, team members have grown into leaders, becoming the face of a brand built on both heart and ambition.

Looking ahead, Sayaji’s future is focused and ambitious. Expansion into new cities, diversification across luxury and mid-scale formats, and the integration of technology into every guest touchpoint are central to the next phase. The aim is clear — to broaden reach while preserving the warmth and hospitality that define Sayaji.

Ajay Kanojia, Associate General Manager – Corporate at Sayaji Hotels Ltd, shares, "These 16 years are a tribute to the people behind the brand — our guests, our teams, and every partner who believed in our journey. We are proud of how far we have come and excited for what lies ahead."

Anurag Anand, DOPS, Sayaji Pune, adds: "Our vision is clear. We will grow with intention, remain guest-first in everything we do, and continue delivering experiences that blend comfort with class."

As Sayaji Pune steps into its next chapter, it does so with confidence, clarity, and an unwavering commitment to deliver hospitality that leaves a lasting impression. The journey so far has been remarkable — and in many ways, it’s only just begun.
