Maison Twenty-Seven – Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL) and Bastian Hospitality

India’s airport experience is undergoing a dramatic transformation — and Maison Twenty-Seven may well be its boldest expression yet. In a landmark collaboration, Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL) and Bastian Hospitality have unveiled Maison Twenty-Seven adjoining Terminal 2 of Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, introducing what is being positioned as India’s first airport-integrated hospitality, wellness, dining, and entertainment destination.

Indeed, airports are no longer just places we rush through between flights — and Maison Twenty-Seven is proof of that. Spread across an expansive 52,000 square feet and strategically located near both Ahmedabad airport and the rapidly growing GIFT City corridor, Maison Twenty-Seven signals a larger shift in how airports are being imagined in modern India — not merely as transit points, but as immersive lifestyle ecosystems where travel, leisure, wellness, business, and community seamlessly intersect.

For AAHL, the launch aligns with its growing vision of building future-ready airport ecosystems that extend beyond aviation infrastructure into hospitality and urban lifestyle experiences. The development follows the group’s recent partnership with IHG Hotels & Resorts to introduce airport-linked hotels across key Indian cities, reinforcing its larger ambition of reshaping the Indian airport narrative.

For Bastian Hospitality — the hospitality powerhouse behind some of India’s most recognisable dining destinations — Maison Twenty-Seven represents its most ambitious expansion to date as the brand celebrates a decade of shaping contemporary dining and lifestyle culture across Mumbai, Pune, and Bengaluru.

A New Era Of Airport-Led Lifestyle Destinations

What makes Maison Twenty-Seven especially compelling is the scale and ambition of its integrated concept. Designed as a multi-dimensional experience hub, the destination combines luxury dining, wellness therapies, social spaces, entertainment zones, co-working areas, family-led experiences, and recovery-focused amenities within a single architectural ecosystem.

The property has been conceptualised around how modern urban consumers increasingly live, work, recover, travel, and connect. From transit travellers and business professionals to families, wellness seekers, and local residents, Maison Twenty-Seven has been designed to cater to multiple audiences through flexible access models, curated day-pass experiences, and reservations-led hospitality offerings.

Architecturally, the space unfolds through immersive environments layered with sculptural lighting, lush greenery, soaring ceilings, intimate lounges, and expansive social zones anchored around a dramatic central tree installation. Every detail has been designed to create a feeling of movement, pause, interaction, and sensory escape — offering guests an experience that feels worlds away from the conventional airport environment.

Arun Bansal, CEO, AAHL, said: “At Adani airports, we are reimagining airports as dynamic lifestyle and social ecosystems that extend far beyond travel. Maison Twenty-Seven reflects our commitment to creating experiences that are immersive, future-ready and rooted in evolving consumer aspirations. From hospitality and wellness to dining and community spaces, every aspect of the destination has been shaped through a deeply hands-on approach to how modern travellers and urban consumers want to engage, pause and connect. As Ahmedabad and GIFT City continue to emerge as globally significant growth hubs, we believe destinations like Maison Twenty-Seven will redefine the role airports play in shaping urban experiences.”

Actor, entrepreneur, wellness advocate and co-founder of Bastian Hospitality, Shilpa Shetty said: “Wellness today is no longer limited to fitness. It shapes how people travel, recharge, spend time with family and build meaningful everyday experiences. What makes Maison Twenty-Seven special is the way it brings together recovery, hospitality, dining and community within one thoughtfully designed space that feels both elevated and inclusive.”

Ranjit Bindra, Founder, Bastian Hospitality, said: “Maison Twenty-Seven represents an important evolution for Bastian Hospitality as we complete ten years of creating experiential dining and lifestyle destinations in India. We wanted to build a space that responds to how modern consumers increasingly travel, work, recover and connect. Ahmedabad, with the rapid growth around SVPIA and GIFT City, offered the perfect environment for a concept that brings together hospitality, wellness and community in a globally relevant format.”

Wellness, Dining & Community Under One Roof

At the heart of Maison Twenty-Seven lies an evolving definition of luxury — one deeply rooted in wellness, flexibility, and experience-first living. The destination houses a dedicated wellness centre featuring cryotherapy, hot and cold plunge pools, dry flotation therapies, yoga and sound healing studios, steam and sauna rooms, salon experiences, and indoor-outdoor fitness zones.

The culinary programme retains the signature Bastian DNA while evolving to suit a more wellness-conscious and transit-driven audience. Dining experiences move fluidly across indulgent meals, late-night dining, healthy nutrition-focused options, casual coffee moments, business lunches, and family gatherings.

Adding to its experiential appeal are curated entertainment zones, immersive social spaces, children’s areas, games arcades, and co-working lounges designed to encourage repeat engagement and community-led interaction rather than one-time visitation.

Maison Twenty-Seven also integrates Gujarat’s rich artistic and craft heritage into its larger philosophy by creating dedicated opportunities for regional artisans and craftspeople to showcase their work within the property — adding a distinctly local cultural layer to its globally inspired design language.

TheGlitz Take

Maison Twenty-Seven feels less like an airport-adjacent venue and more like a glimpse into the future of Indian urban hospitality. At a time when consumers increasingly seek experiences that blend wellness, dining, flexibility, community, and luxury into one seamless environment, this destination arrives at precisely the right cultural moment.

More importantly, it reflects a significant evolution in how Indian airports are positioning themselves globally, not merely as gateways for travel, but as destinations in their own right.

And if this is the future of airport living in India, the bar has just been raised considerably.
