Trance Hotels has announced the acquisition of two prominent hospitality properties in Pune under a Lease Management model, effective April 1, 2026
The properties, formerly known as The Oakwood Hotel and Sunderban Hotel, have now been rebranded as Trance Oakwood Hotel, Pune and Trance Sunderban Hotel, Pune.
This strategic expansion marks a significant milestone in Trance Hotels’ growth journey, strengthening its presence in one of India’s key business and leisure destinations.
Trance Hotels is committed to revitalising both properties through a series of planned refurbishments and upgrades. These enhancements will focus on modernising infrastructure, elevating guest experiences, and aligning the hotels with Trance’s brand standards and service philosophy. Guests can look forward to noticeable improvements designed to offer a refreshed and contemporary hospitality experience.
Both properties are currently being overseen by experienced General Managers, who, along with the Trance Hotels team in Pune, are actively working towards streamlining operations and implementing the planned transformation initiatives.
A key driving force behind Trance Hotels is Veer Vijay Singh, a stalwart of the hotel industry with over 40 years of rich experience. Having begun his career with the Taj Group of Hotels in the mid-1970s, he brings with him deep-rooted expertise and a distinguished track record in hospitality leadership.
Driven by a vision to contribute meaningfully to the hospitality industry, Veer Vijay founded Trance International Hotels and Resort Private Limited. Trance Hotels represents a unique blend of traditional hoteliering values and modern service excellence, guided by the founding trio—Veer Vijay Singh, Vishwaveer Singh, and Suryaveer Singh.
At its core, Trance Hotels is built on the philosophy that guests should not have to choose between business efficiency and luxury comfort, but instead experience the best of both worlds. The Oakwood Hotel and Sunderban Hotel have now been rebranded as Trance Oakwood Hotel, Pune and Trance Sunderban Hotel, Pune. Veer Vijay Singh’s leadership is anchored in strong operational knowledge and strategic insight, developed through decades of hands-on experience across key roles in the hospitality sector.
Speaking on the occasion, a spokesperson for Trance Hotels stated, “We are excited to bring these two well-located properties into the Trance portfolio. Our focus is on breathing new life into the hotels through thoughtful upgrades and delivering enhanced value to our guests. Pune is a dynamic market, and we see immense potential in elevating these properties to new standards.”
With this addition, Trance Hotels continues to reinforce its commitment to growth, quality, and excellence in hospitality.
