In a landmark addition to Goa’s vibrant hospitality landscape, Accor proudly unveils Novotel Goa Panjim, its fourth Novotel property in the region. Ideally located in the heart of the capital, Panaji, this new hotel embodies modern sophistication while capturing the essence of Goa’s rich cultural and natural allure. Designed to cater to business and leisure travellers, the property seamlessly blends contemporary elegance with local charm, offering an unparalleled experience in one of India’s most iconic destinations.
A mere 35-minute drive from Dabolim Airport and 45 minutes from the MOPA Airport, Novotel Goa Panjim provides convenient access to Panaji’s historic landmarks and picturesque waterfront. The hotel’s architecture celebrates sustainability, with curvilinear balconies that invite the outdoors in, fostering a deep connection with nature. The airy, sunlit courtyard is a focal point of the lobby, providing a tranquil escape amid the city’s bustling energy.
The property boasts 143 elegantly appointed rooms, over 8,000 square feet of flexible event spaces, three signature dining outlets, a luxurious spa, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, and a pristine swimming pool, making it an ideal destination for social gatherings and corporate events. Reflecting its innovative approach to hospitality, Novotel Goa Panjim has been awarded the prestigious 2024 India’s Best Design Award for its seamless fusion of traditional Goan warmth with the comfort of a modern resort.
Garth Simmons, Chief Operating Officer of Accor’s Premium, Midscale, and Economy Division in Asia, commented on the expansion: “We are excited to grow our presence in India with the opening of Novotel Goa Panjim. Goa is a unique and iconic destination, and with this property, we aim to provide guests with an experience that captures the vibrant spirit of the region. Our commitment to sustainability and cutting-edge hospitality ensures a stay that is as thoughtful as it is luxurious.”
General Manager Surajit Chatterjee echoed this sentiment, saying: “We are honoured to introduce Novotel Goa Panjim, a hotel that perfectly harmonizes contemporary design with Goa’s cultural vibrancy. We look forward to offering guests an unforgettable experience, blending relaxation and productivity in the heart of Panaji.”
A standout feature of the hotel is its seamless, contactless check-in experience, made possible through a digital key accessible via the hotel’s app. This next-generation technology, combined with the hotel’s serene design, encourages guests to embrace the art of slow living while balancing the demands of modern life.
With 64 properties currently operating under its various premium brands in India, including Raffles, Fairmont, Sofitel, Pullman, and Ibis, Accor is on a significant growth trajectory in the region.
