Meet the Founder
Exceptional hospitality is created through operational excellence, financial discipline, continuous innovation, and a consistent commitment to the guest experience.
Manav Chandak grew up inside a working hotel and restaurant business, three generations deep in the Panchavati Group of Hotels, Motels and Restaurants, founded in 1983. He later built and ran his own marketing agency, then added a Master’s in Global Family Managed Business from SP Jain to the operating experience he already had.
What Our Clients Say
