Radisson Hotel Group has announced the opening of its first property in Lonavala, Maharashtra.

A 15 minute drive from both Lonavala and Khandala railway stations, Radisson Resort and Spa Lonavala serves as an ideal getaway for guests travelling from Mumbai, Pune and Khandala.

The resort offers easy access to tourist attractions such as Bushi Dam, Narayani Dham Temple, Lonavala Lake and the celebrity wax museum.

Designed by Indian architect, Kamal S Malik, the resort has been envisioned as the “perfect amalgamation of sustainable design and local art and culture.”
