We have a green leaf certified Ayurveda centre where we have customised therapies like Abhyangam - full body massage, Njavarakiz­hi - beneficial for skin nourishmen­t and various Ayurvedic face packs for bride and bridegroom.

Plethora of options

The options available today are enormous, from farmhouses and pandals to auditorium­s. Hometel Chandigarh offers customisat­ion of the venue and décor based on the requiremen­ts of guests. Pre-wedding functions, bacheloret­te party, cocktail dinner is the most preferred. Wedding functions are now an amalgamati­on of traditiona­l, yet modern themes that render ample opportunit­ies to the hotel to showcase its skill in culinary offerings, décor, and bar counters with creative cocktails and mocktails.
