Restaurant India News: AcQua Café & Bar Opens at The Aaureum Resort in Bhilwara

AcQua Café & Bar, the new poolside café and bar at The Aaureum Resort and International Convention Centre, officially opened on 2 May, adding a new hospitality and dining format to the city’s growing leisure segment.

Positioned as a poolside dining and social destination, the venue combines food, beverages, and live entertainment within the resort property. The concept includes a curated menu of cocktails, mocktails, and contemporary dishes, with a focus on evening dining and event-led experiences.

The launch evening featured performances by a percussionist, violinist, saxophonist, and an Afro Indie DJ, supported by a coordinated light and sound setup. The organisers stated that the entertainment-led format introduces a style of programming not commonly available in Bhilwara’s hospitality market.

Sandeep Maitraya, Founder & Director, Crimson Hotels, said, “AcQua Café & Bar is an important addition to The Aaureum. With this, we wanted to create a poolside space where evenings feel relaxed with great music, special curated cocktails and a setting that people love spending time in.”

Rahul Choudhary, Director, Navkar Group, said, “Our idea was to create a space that knows exactly what it stands for. Something easy to understand, dependable in its experience and comfortable enough for people to keep coming back to.”

Yash Singhvi, Director, Yash Real Mart, added, “With AcQua Café & Bar, we are bringing something fresh to Bhilwara. It’s a step towards new kinds of spaces where people can meet, unwind and experience the city differently.”

The opening reflects a broader trend in tier-2 hospitality markets, where resorts and hotels are increasingly investing in experiential dining formats and entertainment-driven venues to expand customer engagement beyond traditional accommodation offerings.
