Just five minutes from the Raja Bhoj Airport in the city, the swank new Hotel Sapphire Blue has opened its doors to guests and diners. The launch heralds the arrival of the diversified Sapphire Group in the hospitality sector.

The extensively renovated property offers full-scale hospitality services to discerning travelers. The current bouquet of services include guestrooms and suites that are equipped with top of the line amenities and tasteful decor.

The hotel also offers exciting dining options at its Indian speciality restaurant Maavi, and an informal ambience at Uptown, an informal international cafe that offers global cuisines in the heart of the city.

Full-service banquet facilities for both corporate and social gatherings at the hotel span across its party hall and lush expansive lawns that promise to cater to small private gatherings of twenty people, to large weddings and social dos involving 1500 invitees.

The young managing director of the property Arsalan Tahir says, "while we offer best of class services to both corporate and individual guests, and our rooms include amenities like Jacuzzis, we have consciously steered clear of tags that convey luxury as we primarily wish to be known for our courteous services. "Services at the hotel are planned and executed under the watchful guidance of some of the top names from the hospitality industry in the country.

While a further extension of services is still underway, room guests are offered complimentary access to facilities at the swimming pool and the gymnasium.

General manager Arti Tuli, who is the hands on in-charge of everyday affairs at the property informs that she would like to see the hotel carve a niche for refined understated elegance that her team strives. The hotel is now open for table and room reservations.
