In a major move redefining the future of airport-led urban infrastructure and experiential travel in India, Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL) has partnered with Bastian Hospitality to launch Maison Twenty-Seven, an expansive luxury hospitality and wellness destination adjoining Terminal 2 of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport.

Spread across 52,000 square feet, the project integrates hospitality, wellness, dining, entertainment and community experiences into a single ecosystem — a concept industry experts describe as one of India’s first airport-integrated lifestyle destinations.

Airports Evolving into Lifestyle Ecosystems

The unveiling of Maison Twenty-Seven comes shortly after AAHL’s partnership with IHG Hotels & Resorts to develop airport-linked hotels across key Indian cities.

Officials said the new destination reflects changing consumer behaviour where airports are increasingly becoming centres for:

  • Lifestyle experiences

  • Wellness and recreation
  • Hospitality and entertainment

Strategically positioned near both Ahmedabad Airport and the rapidly expanding GIFT City financial hub, Maison Twenty-Seven is expected to cater to travellers, professionals, families and urban consumers seeking premium experiential environments.

The destination features:

  • Wellness and recovery centre
  • Yoga and sound healing studios
  • Steam, sauna and flotation therapies
  • Cryotherapy and HBOT treatments
  • Indoor and outdoor fitness spaces
  • Co-working lounges

  • Dedicated lifestyle and social spaces

Officials said the culinary programme remains rooted in the iconic Bastian Hospitality identity while adapting to modern transit and wellness-driven audiences.

The property also includes:

  • Bastian Bakery

  • Indoor-outdoor dining environments
  • Late-night dining formats
  • Wellness-focused nutrition offerings

Gujarat’s Growth Story Fuels Expansion

Industry observers said the project aligns closely with Gujarat’s emergence as one of India’s fastest-growing economic and infrastructure corridors.

Ranjit Bindra, Founder of Bastian Hospitality, described Ahmedabad as the ideal launch market.

“Maison Twenty-Seven represents an important evolution for Bastian Hospitality as we complete ten years of creating experiential dining and lifestyle destinations in India. We wanted to build a space that responds to how modern consumers increasingly travel, work, recover and connect. Ahmedabad, with the rapid growth around SVPIA and GIFT City, offered the perfect environment for a concept that brings together hospitality, wellness and community in a globally relevant format.”

AAHL officials said the project reflects how airports are becoming central to larger urban development and lifestyle ecosystems.

Arun Bansal, CEO of AAHL, said:

“At Adani airports, we are reimagining airports as dynamic lifestyle and social ecosystems that extend far beyond travel. Maison Twenty-Seven reflects our commitment to creating experiences that are immersive, future-ready and rooted in evolving consumer aspirations.”

Shilpa Shetty Highlights Wellness-Driven Urban Living

Actor, entrepreneur and wellness advocate Shilpa Shetty, who is also co-founder of Bastian Hospitality, highlighted the growing integration of wellness with everyday lifestyles.

“Wellness today is no longer limited to fitness. It shapes how people travel, recharge, spend time with family and build meaningful everyday experiences.”

The property has also been designed to incorporate Gujarat’s craft and cultural identity by creating opportunities for local artists and artisans to showcase their work within the destination.

Flexible Access Model Targets Repeat Engagement

Maison Twenty-Seven will operate through a reservation-based and curated day-pass access model, allowing users flexible engagement with hospitality and wellness services.

Industry analysts say such hybrid access models reflect evolving consumer demand for:

  • Flexible experiences
  • Community-driven engagement
  • Multi-purpose lifestyle destinations
  • Experience-first urban ecosystems

Maison Twenty-Seven officially commenced dinner services from May 21, marking Bastian Hospitality’s formal entry into Ahmedabad after establishing its presence in Mumbai, Pune and Bengaluru.
