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 soul, it’s incredible to see it all come alive,” says Amit Damani, Co-founder of StayVista.
Introducing Gram’s Pawna: The First Edition
The location chosen for the 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, it 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.
Experiences That Feel Like Home, Yet Better
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. They can unwind with curated evening experiences—from live music to interactive painting sessions by the water.
The soul of Gram’s beats strongest in its restaurant by the lake, a space where good food meets nostalgia. The menu swings between comfort and creativity:
- Animal Fries in “share-it-if-you-can” portions
- Maggi Pakodas reminiscent of childhood evenings
- Parle-G Truffle Balls blending nostalgia and indulgence
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 created to bring lived experiences into the heart of the hotel.
The selected Grand Mom will audit stays, craft heartfelt content, and offer honest reviews that reflect the soul of Gram’s. By amplifying generational voices and championing inclusivity, the campaign deepens the brand’s emotional resonance.
