Although The Ritz-Carlton, Pune sits on a busy street in the heart of Yerawada’s business district, surrounded by MNCs, it has as its neighbour, a lush golf course. The 198-keys property is one of the most luxurious to open not just in Pune, but also in India this year, offering a befitting finale to 2019.
The Ritz-Carlton, Pune which has its architecture done by Madhav Joshi and Associates and interior design by Bangkok-based PIA Interior Company Limited, is a study in decadence, luxury, and elegance. This is luxury not just for the sake of it, but because of the well-thought-out grandeur with the city of Peshwas as its backdrop. The hotel seems part-art deco, part- Maratha, and part-British, the latter two because of the British-era illustrations, Greco-Roman figurines and portraits of Maratha rulers sprinkled across.
According to Madhav Joshi, the Principal Architect of the project, “The luxury experience is ensured not only by its exuberant interiors but also through the conception of its public and guest areas as a balanced combination of the indoors and outdoors. In a city like Pune, blessed with a salubrious climate, it was natural to conceive spaces that offer an option to step out into the warm sun, feel the cool winter breeze, or enjoy a mild drizzle.” The Ritz-Carlton, Pune is part of a mixed-use development and was consciously designed as a linear block with long and transparent north and south facades and narrow and solid east and west facades, which ensure that the interiors and the outdoor spaces are shaded even in hot summer months.
