The curated selection of items are displayed and on sale for guests and locals, at the White box the lobby area of the all-day dining restaurant the Bengaluru Brasserie by the pool
“I have really enjoyed my journey partnering with the Hyatt Loves Local initiative. It is heartening for Bangalore’s community of women entrepreneurs and artists to see ideas like ‘Change Starts Here’ taking root in institutions like the Hyatt group and I am delighted to add our brand’s element of handcrafted beauty, inspired by the dual ideals of rustic-chic aesthetics and sustainability, to the rich tapestry of art and culture that guests can experience at the Hyatt Centric MG Road”, says Rekha, Elemental by Nanya
Another such association is with Irene James, Colorishta whose vivacious pieces of art are displayed at the White Box, for sale for guests and locals, exclusively at Hyatt Centric MG Road Bangalore.

Nearly 100 Hyatt hotels and resorts in destinations across the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East are providing complimentary resources and exposure to select local businesses that have struggled during the pandemic. In turn, these businesses can continue operating in different ways and offer Hyatt guests distinct and enriching experiences that foster a meaningful connection to the destination’s local community.
