The Crown is an urban hotel in Bhubaneswar, the capital of Odisha often dubbed the city of sanctuaries for its medieval Hindu temples. With 80 rooms spread across three categories, three distinct restaurants and a strong events offering, the property caters to both business clientele and travellers stopping over before exploring Odisha's major sites.

Why choose The Crown in Bhubaneswar

The hotel combines several practical strengths: comfortable capacity (80 rooms), varied dining options under one roof and complete facilities for both work and relaxation. It is particularly suited to stays blending professional meetings with cultural visits, as Bhubaneswar is the natural starting point for exploring Odisha's golden triangle (Bhubaneswar – Konark – Puri).

Atmosphere and setting

The Crown positions itself as a contemporary city hotel. The architecture is distinctly modern and common areas focus on functional comfort rather than heritage evocation. The tone is that of a service-oriented urban hotel, where dining plays a central role in the guest experience.

The rooms

The offering is split into three categories to suit different budgets and lengths of stay:

• Executive: spacious rooms with essential amenities – Wi-Fi, courtesy tray and kettle.
• Premium: mid-range category, well-appointed, in the same contemporary style.
• Suite: the largest units, with separate living and dining areas, ideal for extended stays or guests seeking more reception space.

Dining and services

Three restaurants allow you to vary your meals without leaving the hotel:

• Zodiac: all-day café, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
• Mainland China: dedicated Chinese cuisine restaurant, a recognised name across India for this culinary offering.
• Bollywood: themed Indian restaurant with film screenings, a unique concept celebrating Hindi cinema's appeal (to be confirmed with the hotel depending on programming).

In terms of facilities, the hotel has a business centre, a boardroom and four banquet halls, making it well-suited for seminars, weddings and receptions. For relaxation, there is a health club and pool. Wi-Fi is available in rooms.
