StayVista has introduced its latest concept, Gram’s. Gram’s, short for Grandmother, is a playful, design-led lifestyle hotel that blends nostalgia, comfort, and community living.
It’s a new kind of stay that reimagines travel accommodations. Guests can choose from a range of accommodations – from lively dorms to private rooms to charming villas. Whether you’re travelling solo or with a group, Gram’s offers the perfect balance of warmth, community, and comfort. Blending neo-vintage aesthetics with thoughtful amenities, it’s a space to unwind, catch up on work, or simply feel at home.
“Gram’s is our take on what travel should feel like for the modern Indian – aesthetically charming, thought-evoking, and effortlessly social. We wanted to capture the best of both worlds – the comfort of a hotel with the community vibe of a hostel. And yes, it had to be instantly Instagrammable. After months of pouring our hearts and souls, it’s incredible to see it all come alive,” says Amit Damani, Co-founder of StayVista.
The location chosen for our first edition of Gram’s is the beautiful shores of Pawna Lake in Lonavala. Spread across 8 charming villas with fifteen private rooms and 10 dorm rooms that can comfortably host up to 80 guests. Each villa features its own pool and lawn – perfect for morning yoga, lazy sundowners, or a late-night jam session under the stars.
At Gram’s, experiences go beyond the ordinary. Guests can dine under the stars inside a glass prism, leave a memory behind by locking a wish, or try their hand at fishing by the lake. Guests can unwind with curated evening experiences from live music to interactive painting sessions by the lake. Every experience at Gram’s is designed to be equal parts novel and memorable. The soul of Gram’s, however, beats in its restaurant by the lake, a space where good food meets nostalgia. The menu flips between comfort and creativity: Animal Fries that arrive in true “share-it-if-you-can” portions, Maggi Pakodas that taste like childhood evenings, and Parle-G Truffle Balls that blend nostalgia with indulgence. Every dish feels like a story – familiar, yet delightfully unexpected. Gram’s is a new story being written in the latest chapter of hospitality in India. It offers a trip down memory lane while being design-forward and community-first. There’s no place like Gram’s!
A CAMPAIGN WITH A TWIST – “GRANDMOMS WANTED”
Gram’s has launched a first-of-its-kind campaign that beautifully blends nostalgia, wisdom, and the warmth of community. As part of this initiative, the brand is inviting applications for a dedicated “Grand Mom” (50+)—a role designed to bring the essence of lived experiences into the heart of the hotel. The selected Grand Mom will audit stays, craft engaging and heartfelt content, and offer honest reviews that reflect the soul of Gram’s. By celebrating generational voices and championing inclusivity, the campaign not only elevates the brand’s storytelling but also deepens its emotional resonance. With its playful twist and strong potential for organic virality, the initiative positions Gram’s as a lifestyle hotel brand committed to creating meaningful, human-centric hospitality experiences.
