Sayaji Vadodara creates unforgettable event experiences

Sayaji Group of Hotels is known for its bespoke experiences and signature hospitality. This is a home-grown Indian brand competing with the biggest hotel entities across the globe. The management primarily believes in providing exemplary luxury, quality, and service. Today, Sayaji Hotels is around three decades old and has three hotel brands: Sayaji, Effotel by Sayaji, and Enrise by Sayaji, under its umbrella.

With the infrastructural amenities on par with those of developed countries, India is poised to be a preferred destination for MICE events. Major cities, including Vadodara, where infrastructure is adequately developed, are well-equipped to host world-class MICE events. However, organising MICE events requires a very high degree of professionalism and service quality. Hari Krishnan says, “Large-scale events require multiple teams working at different levels, like booking rooms, decorating conference venues, arranging dining experiences for the organisers and their invitees, etc. We at Sayaji Vadodara try our best to overcome challenges in organising an intimate or large-scale event with our highly trained manpower, smart infrastructure, and meticulous planning.”

A Divine Confluence of Faith and Culture

Every 12 years, the city of Prayagraj transforms into a focal point of one of the most significant spiritual gatherings in the world—the Maha Kumbh Mela. Rooted in ancient Hindu tradition, this grand festival commemorates the mythological churning of the ocean by the gods and demons, seeking the nectar of immortality. As millions of devotees and pilgrims converge in the sacred city, they are drawn by the promise of spiritual renewal through a ritual bath in the holy waters of the Triveni Sangam, where the rivers Ganges, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati meet.
