Radisson Individual Retreats allows us the opportunity to enable and co-create unparalleled experiences for guests in every part of India, especially in tier-II and III cities. Considering the heavy footfall of travelers visiting Himachal Pradesh and especially Manali, the hotel’s strategic location will be one of its key USPs. With this opening, our goal is to make experience-driven hospitality accessible to a wider audience, while also ensuring that our presence enriches the local community and preserves the natural beauty of this Himalayan paradise.”

The hotel’s design is rooted in the Saatu architectural style, known for its handcrafted details and use of natural materials, blending seamlessly with the surrounding natural beauty. Local artisans have handcrafted every stone used in the hotel’s construction, which also features charming hand-carved stone pillars, intricate woodwork, and hand-painted murals.
In addition to the exquisite accommodations, guests can enjoy a refreshing swim with stunning views at the hotel’s outdoor heated pool. The hotel boasts a fitness center and spa that offers a wide range of treatments, from relaxing massages and therapies drawing inspiration from Himalayan healing traditions to rejuvenating facials.
Culinary enthusiasts will be delighted by the range of dining options at the hotel. At Buran’s, the hotel’s specialty restaurant, guests can partake in a one-of-a-kind adventurous gastronomic experience featuring igloo cabins. The menu offers a diverse range of cuisines, including Italian, Japanese, Asian, Indian, and South Indian dishes.
