Introducing Novotel Goa Panjim

Novotel has opened its fourth hotel in Goa, located in the capital of Panaji. The hotel combines elegance with the charm of Goa and caters to both business and leisure travellers.

Novotel Goa Panjim is conveniently located just 35 minutes from Dabolim Airport and 45 minutes from MOPA, making it easy to visit the city's historical landmarks. The hotel is designed with sustainability in mind, offering a retreat amid the lively town. Its architectural design features balconies that curve along the building's length, blending the indoors with the outdoors and creating a strong connection with nature. The hotel's courtyard, filled with natural light, is a peaceful oasis and a prominent feature in the lobby.

Novotel Goa Panjim has 143 rooms and over 8,000 square feet of meeting and event spaces. It also features three dining outlets, a spa and salon, a fitness centre, and a swimming pool. The hotel aims to be a preferred destination for both social gatherings and business events. It has received the 2024 India’s Best Design Award, recognizing its blend of traditional hospitality and a relaxed resort-style ambience.
