Mumbai, February 2nd 2026 – Olive by Embassy, the tech-led hospitality brand of Embassy Group, today announced its entry into Pune with the launch of two strategic properties: Olive Hotel Baner (48 keys) and Olive Hotel Wakad (30 keys). Strategically positioned in Pune’s prime business-lifestyle micro-markets, these hotels target the city’s booming IT corridors, corporate hubs, and growing residential catchments.

Olive Hotel Baner, nestled in established Baner, this hotel blends corporate accessibility with vibrant social infrastructure. Olive Hotel Wakad, perfectly positioned in high-demand Wakad for Hinjewadi commuters and long-stays, it offers immediate access to Westgate Business Park and Mumbai-Pune Expressway. Tailored for IT consultants, project teams, and extended business stays.
