Mumbai/Bengaluru: In a landscape where destination weddings usually mean flying guests to Goa, Rajasthan or abroad, a Bengaluru-based hospitality group is proving that you don’t always have to go far to feel like you’ve gone away.
Le Roma Hotels & Resorts, a homegrown brand in North Bengaluru, has been awarded the Times of India “Fastest Growing South Indian Wedding Venue” title for its flagship property, Le Roma. Behind the trophy is a larger story – the creation of a connected “Airport wedding corridor” with four venues and more than 400 rooms, designed for modern celebrations that blend convenience, warmth and destination-style flair.
Not just one venue, but a corridor of celebrations
Unlike typical stand-alone wedding halls, Le Roma has spent the last few years quietly building an ecosystem along the route leading to Kempegowda International Airport. Under the brand’s umbrella sit four distinct venues supported by 400-plus rooms, lawns, open spaces and banquet infrastructure.
Guests fly into Bengaluru, travel a short distance from the airport, and check into the same cluster where every function – mehendi, sangeet, pheras, reception and next-day brunch – can be hosted. Families avoid juggling multiple properties, while planners get a familiar team and standard across all events. For local guests, the venues are close enough for easy access, yet far enough from the city’s dense core to deliver a resort-like feel.
Bee in the logo, hive in the culture
Le Roma’s visual identity says a lot about how the group sees itself. Its logo features a bee inside a hive – a deliberate choice rather than a decorative flourish. The bee stands for focus, effort and growth; the hive represents community, collaboration and shared value.
Inside the organisation, this translates into a culture where staff are encouraged to think like hosts, not just employees. The internal question is not just “Can we take this booking?” but “Which Le Roma space is the right fit for this family, company or group?” That philosophy applies as much to intimate stays and corporate retreats as it does to large weddings.
It also extends to community-building. At Le Roma Samsara, one of the group’s properties, the brand recently welcomed students from BM International School for a life-skills session – a small but telling example of how the venues are used as spaces for learning and connection, not only for big-ticket events.
The founders behind the brand
Steering this growth are founders Rohan Steve Salian (Chairman & Managing Director) and his wife, Co-Founder & CEO, Vijaya Salian.
Rohan brings over two and a half decades of experience across construction, real estate, precious stones, interiors and now hospitality and wellness. Known among peers for his ability to spot value early, he chose to invest in North Bengaluru’s then under-appreciated airport side long before it became fashionable. His vision was clear: create a continuous celebration stretch that could support weddings, retreats and corporate gatherings all year round.
Vijaya, an MBA from Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS), leads business development, operations and finance. She is credited with turning Rohan’s macro vision into a disciplined hotels-and-resorts business – building processes, teams and service standards while staying deeply involved in guest relations. Many families recall her personally walking them through itineraries and room allocations, blending analytical detail with a personal touch.
Destination energy without leaving the grid
Indian weddings have become more ambitious and more complex. Guest lists are global, elders may not be comfortable with long journeys, and airfares and room rates in traditional destinations can spike sharply in season. Le Roma’s answer is to bring the destination experience closer to where people already are.
By combining airport access, room inventory and multi-format event spaces under one brand, the group offers what many couples now actively seek: destination energy without leaving the city grid. The four venues can support three- or four-day itineraries, while the 400+ rooms ensure guests can stay close to the action instead of being scattered across the city.
Why the award matters
The Times of India recognition as “Fastest Growing South Indian Wedding Venue” signals that this model is resonating beyond Bengaluru. It validates a long-term bet on the airport side as more than a transit zone and positions Le Roma as one of the key names shaping how South India thinks about weddings and experiential hospitality.
For couples planning 2025–26 celebrations, for planners looking beyond the usual suspects, and for corporates seeking venues that can host both conferences and offsites, North Bengaluru’s Airport wedding corridor – with Le Roma at its centre – is suddenly a lot more interesting.
