The inspiration for Linear Lounge came from the major clientele being corporates from the neighboring IT and Industrial Hub. The owners wanted to create a chic bar where one can unwind after a day's hectic work and a lounge where elite patrons from the neighboring area can chill out with family or friends. The architectural character of the space emerged as a Linear Bar, with a central bar counter and various sections to cater to different seating preferences.
What sets Linear Lounge apart is its range of unique features. The lounge features a private dining room, perfect for intimate gatherings or business meetings. It also offers an incredible range of fine malts and innovative and artistic cocktails, ensuring that guests have a wide selection to choose from. The ambiance is further enhanced by the play of light and shadow, creating an engaging and vibrant atmosphere.
With a total area of 220 sq. mt., Linear Lounge provides ample space for guests to relax and socialize. The lounge area is raised by two steps, establishing its own identity within the space. The interior design plays with contemporary styling, using a combination of black, brown, and grey tones with pops of eclectic reds and stark whites. Display shelves showcase original art as well as the finest malts from all over the world, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal.
Linear Lounge is strategically located on the first level of the hotel, adjacent to corporate meeting rooms and small conference halls. This makes it a perfect venue for corporates to wind up after a day's conference or meetings. The lounge also offers various seating options, giving clients the choice to relax over evening drinks and snacks.
The construction of Double Tree by Hilton Chinchwad Pune, India started in 2009 and was completed in 2013. The design of Linear Lounge was carefully researched and planned to cater to the needs of the area, providing a chic and elegant space for elite patrons to unwind and socialize.
Linear Lounge has received recognition for its exceptional design. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2014 in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category. This award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements.
Overall, Linear Lounge offers a unique and sophisticated experience for guests, combining elegant design, a wide range of amenities, and a vibrant ambiance. Whether it's for a relaxing evening with friends or a business meeting, Linear Lounge provides the perfect setting for a memorable experience.
