Silvāna Hotels & Resorts, a new-age hospitality brand championing experiential luxury and destination-led hospitality, marks its entry into Raipur with the launch of its first 81-room property on Airport Road. Built around an existing garden, the property brings together nature-inspired architecture, personalised guest experiences and curated dining, reflecting the brand’s vision of making Raipur a destination worth travelling to and staying in.
Unlike conventional hotel developments where landscaping follows construction, Silvāna Raipur’s design was conceptualised around a garden that existed on the site before the buildings. Inspired by the tranquillity of a forest, the property features natural materials, earthy tones and flowering trees. The name Silvāna draws inspiration from Silva, the Latin word for forest, reflecting the brand’s philosophy of creating layered experiences that evolve over time.
Complementing the property is Jugnoo, which opened in August 2026. Inspired by fireflies, its interiors incorporate wood, brick and brass, reinterpreting traditional Indian home kitchens through a contemporary design approach. Its lighting, flooring and wall elements have been conceptualised and manufactured in India.
The brand’s approach also extends to technology-led hospitality. Drawing on his background in computer engineering, Mr. Gaurav Wadhwani, Founder, Silvāna Hotels & Resorts, has developed an in-house operating system that centralises guest requests through a dedicated WhatsApp concierge channel, ensuring seamless coordination without requiring guests to repeat their preferences.
The property features four accommodation categories, including the Sky Suite with a private rooftop Jacuzzi and dedicated butler service. Its facilities also include Primrose Ballroom, with seating for 400 guests, and Mehek, a coffee shop operational from 8 AM to 8 PM.
Silvāna Raipur marked its launch with an event, The First Evening at Silvāna, on 19 July. Food and beverage operations commenced on 23 August, and rooms have been available from 15 September.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Wadhwani said, “Raipur will not become a destination by being described as one, only by being worth the journey. That is the bar we are building to. We believe memorable dining, thoughtfully designed stays and meaningful experiences can encourage people to discover more of Raipur and Chhattisgarh.”
With its first property, Silvāna aims to contribute to the wider tourism potential of Chhattisgarh, a state known for its forests, waterfalls, heritage and craft traditions, while encouraging a shift from business-led visits towards leisure, longer stays and experiential travel.
