Chatwal Hotels & Resorts is planning an aggressive entrance into the India market. The brand recently launched a five year plan to launch 52 hotels (40 Night hotels and 12 Dream hotels) in India.

“For me, India has always been the ultimate hospitality destination”, said Sant Chatwal, Chairman & CEO, Hampshire Hotels & Resorts, the ownership arm of Chatwal Hotels & Resorts. “The multifarious lifestyle, culinary and cultural opportunities that this great country offers to the hospitality industry are immensely untapped.”

Night will be come the brand’s ‘affordably chic’ hotel option, while the Dream brand is positioned as a full-service, lifestyle brand for gateway cities and resort destinations. The initial launch sites will be a Dream resort in Goa and India’s first location for Night in Chennai. These will be followed by New Delhi and Mumbai along with Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Jaipur and Udaipur.

Dream® and Night® hotels are currently in operation in New York, Miami, Bangkok, Thailand and Cochin, India. Plans are in the works for hotels in Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Berlin, Zagreb, Sao Paulo and 10 other properties within the US including Los Angeles.


Recently, Chatwal Hotels & Resorts had announced a partnership with the Wyndham Hotel Group, giving exclusive rights to franchise its Dream® and Night® boutique hotel brands.

Daily Pampering: Barrymore Suite at Chatwal New York

Live large in the Big Apple with a stay at the Chatwal New York. Opened just last month, the Stanford-White designed building played an integral role in 20th Century American theater, housing the Lambs, a prestigious NYC theater club that has boasted members like Maurice, Lionel and John Barrymore and Fred Astaire. John “Jack” Barrymore even lived at the club for a time.

Actress Drew Barrymore generously lent permission for her family name to be used as the title of the hotel’s Penthouse suite.

The Barrymore Suite offers exclusive use of the hotel’s tenth floor, and features four oversized guestrooms (three King beds and one Double/Double) and four full bathrooms, including a master bath with Jacuzzi and raindrop shower. The 4,500 square foot suite overlooking 44th street offers a 1,000 square foot private heated outdoor terrace, two sitting rooms, dining rooms, and kitchenettes.

The suite boasts Shifman Mattresses dressed with Frette linen, a private bar with a bespoke cocktail set and menus, custom Chatwal playing cards and backgammon set. In-room amenities are provided by Asprey, and 24-hour room service and fitness center access is available.
