Hard Rock International – owner of one of the world’s most iconic and recognized brands – announces Hard Rock Hotel Goa, the first of its kind in India. Projected to open in March 2015, the brand will transform the current North 16 GOA Resort owned by Convention Hotels India (CHI) into the Hard Rock Hotel Goa.
Catering to the evolving and distinctive needs of today’s cosmopolitan traveler, the 135-room property will offer world-class entertainment, stylish design, unparalleled service and Hard Rock’s differentiator – music. The property’s location, in the heart of Calangute, is in close proximity to the area’s famed beach that attracts an influx of international and domestic travelers year-round. Boasting a central location, just 22 miles from Goa International Airport, the property is easily accessible for travelers visiting the region.
Hard Rock Hotel Goa will entice locals and worldly travelers with unparalleled live music performances and unique amenities, such as The Sound of Your Stay®, the brand’s all-encompassing music amenity program. The exclusive program is free for guests of the hotel, allowing for in-room guitar jam sessions and playlist download upon check-in. The boutique property will feature traditional offerings, including a premium three-meal restaurant, room service, open-air pool and outdoor courtyard area, complemented by a poolside bar and grill. Additionally, the property will offer brand-wide amenities, such as a Body Rock® workout facility and a Rock Shop®, featuring Hard Rock’s iconic merchandise and meeting and event space.
“The Hard Rock Hotel Goa will be located in a destination rich in culture and entertainment, and sharing the same vibrant, free spirit of the Hard Rock brand,” said Hamish Dodds, chief executive officer of Hard Rock International.
