A weekend in the wine country
Pune Wine Country, Maharashtra
Vijay Mallya's former estate, reimagined. Sixty-six acres of working vineyard cradled by 4,000 acres of reserve forest - a Design Hotels property that earns every bit of the designation. This is not a resort. It's a place with its own rhythm, and you're invited to find it.
Design Hotels
The lounge
The suite
The poolBuilt in the early 2000s as a private estate, Hotel Irada has been reimagined as one of India's most distinctive wine country retreats. The neoclassical manor opens onto expansive decks that spill over the vineyards. Behind it: 4,000 hectares of grassland and forest home to chinkara, deer, and over 200 bird species.

Questions, answered
How do dates and availability work?
Tell us your preferred window on WhatsApp and we confirm availability within a few hours. Peak-season weekends usually reserve three to four weeks out.
Can this be extended or combined with another Original?
Yes - many guests pair two Originals into one longer circuit, travel between them included. Message us and we'll build it as a single seamless journey.
How does payment work?
Reserving holds your dates - nothing is paid at that point. A confirmation amount then secures the booking, and the balance is due 30 days before arrival. One clear payment link, no portals.
