- GM Shiv Bose frames the relaunch as a strategic repositioning to meet evolving epicurean preferences.

Beverage Innovation – “Madya Mix”

Positioning
- Glass Kitchen & Bar is now positioned as a premier destination for contemporary Indian coastal cuisine.
- Extended service hours (lunch + dinner) make it accessible while maintaining exclusivity through storytelling.

Why This Matters
This isn’t just a menu revamp — it’s a brand refresh. By anchoring the restaurant in a coastal narrative, Holiday Inn Bengaluru Racecourse is:
- Differentiating itself from generic hotel dining.
- Tapping into regional authenticity while appealing to modern, global palates.
- Creating a layered experience where food, drinks, and storytelling converge.

It’s a great example of how hotels can use culinary identity as a brand differentiator.
