The vast student population and growing business opportunities have made it a hub for the travelling population. This shifting population has increased the demand for accommodation and good hotels.

While, Pune doesn’t have a dearth of hotels, the properties by Spree Hotels are attractive to every kind of traveller. With one of their properties situated near Hinjewadi in Pune, it offers convenience for business travelers because of its proximity to the industrial hub. The Group is known for its business and luxury hotels at various locations across the country.

The hospitality industry though has advanced and works on providing unique accommodations for specific needs. This concept has not just given birth to meeting facility hotels, luxury five star hotels or bar and lounge hotels, but it has created a whole new class of hospitality.
A couple of the stand-out ones are serviced apartments and boutique hotels.

The surge in the demand and supply for serviced apartments is not surprising, but is relatively new. The same can be attributed to long duration of business travels and the privacy offered by serviced apartments over hotels. At the same time these apartments are laced with all the comfort and amenities provided by hotels and are many-a-times cheaper than hotel accommodation.

Boutique hotels on the other hand, have gained a lot of prominence in the last decade in India. While, they started appearing in the American and European markets in the 1980s, in India they were not given enough prominence early on. Boutique hotels are generally hotels that house anywhere between 10 to 100 rooms. In fact many-a-times, they can just be a 2 room setup, but in a commercial setting and not a private residence. These hotels are luxurious and are generally built keeping a theme in mind. Boutique hotels may or may not have facilities like Wi-Fi and television.

They focus more on quiet comfort than technical gadgetry.

Pune has some of the best hotels in the industry and has many new hotels coming up as well. But, the city has more importantly served as the ground zero for innovations in the hospitality sector.
