A Legacy Refined with a Vision for the Future
Commenting on the relaunch, Mr. Vikram Cotah, CEO of GRT Hotels & Resorts, shared:
“Weddings and milestones aren’t just events — they’re generational stories that deserve to be told with emotion, elegance, and heart. Over the years, we’ve witnessed families return to us again and again, from a child’s birthday to their wedding day. With GReaT Ceremonies, we’re not just preserving that legacy — we’re elevating it. Every chandelier, every dish, every moment has been designed to create memories that last a lifetime.”
