Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and India-based developer Embassy Group will open a new Four Seasons hotel and private residences in summer 2018 in Bengaluru, India. The Four Seasons Bengaluru Hotel and Private Residences will be part of the Embassy ONE mixed-use development.

The upcoming mixed-use development will have three new buildings. The hotel and private residences will be in the north and south towers. Meanwhile, the third building will have office and retail space. Embassy ONE in Northern Bengaluru will be near national parks, monuments, dining, business districts, Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru Palace and Cubbon Park.
