A Commercial Lead for a 427-Room Property
The Westin Hyderabad Mindspace has appointed Aditya Kaul as Director of Sales and Marketing. The hotel announced the appointment in a release datelined India, Hyderabad, 17 September 2026. Hotel Online carried the release the same day.
The property sits in Raheja Mindspace IT Park and carries 427 rooms. The release states a convention area for up to 700 guests across 20,000 square feet, six restaurants and a lap pool with an in-built bar. Those inventory and facility figures are the hotel's own supplied description. Marriott's property page for the hotel answers HTTP 403 to an automated request, so neither the room count nor the convention capacity carries independent confirmation.
The Commercial Record He Brings
Kaul joined Marriott International in 2014 and progressed through sales leadership roles across the Bengaluru market. He worked earlier at JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru. He joins from Sheraton Colombo Hotel, where he led pre-opening commercial operations and established the sales, marketing and reservations functions.
Pre-opening work covers the reservation system, the rate structure and the channel mix a new property starts with. The release names no mandate on rate, channel or account mix at the Westin, and it publishes no rate or occupancy target.
The Group Inventory and the Airport Line
The convention area takes up to 700 guests, with six restaurants and a 427-room base behind it. The release attaches no group rate, no meeting-space count and no catering capacity to those rooms.
The release places the hotel 35.6 km from a building it calls Hyderabad International Hotel. A road route from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport to Mindspace, Madhapur measures about 32 km. The word Hotel reads as an error in the release.
What the Release Leaves Out
The hotel trades under the Westin brand, which Marriott International operates. The release carries Westin brand copy stating more than 240 hotels and resorts in over 40 countries. That copy comes from the brand owner, and Marriott's own pages block automated requests at this gate.
The appointment reached the trade press on 17 September 2026 under the hotel's Hyderabad dateline. The release names no start date for Kaul's tenure and no predecessor on the record.
