In a strategic move set to reinforce its leadership in India’s hospitality industry, Hyatt Place Gurgaon has announced the appointment of Neha Kapoor as its new General Manager, effective June 19, 2025. Backed by over 21 years of cross-functional experience in sales, marketing, and operations, Kapoor’s leadership promises to enhance both guest satisfaction and operational excellence at one of Gurgaon’s premier business hotels.
Located in the rapidly growing corporate and technology hub of Gurugram, Hyatt Place Gurgaon has long served as a trusted address for business travelers and MICE guests. With Kapoor’s appointment, the property aims to strengthen its positioning amid rising competition and evolving guest expectations in India’s high-demand hospitality sector.
A Proven Leader with Diverse Experience
Neha Kapoor’s hospitality journey began with the pre-opening team at Grand Hyatt Mumbai, where she quickly established herself as a results-driven professional. Her career subsequently flourished across several iconic brands, including JW Marriott Mumbai, Sofitel Mumbai BKC, and Shangri-La Mumbai, where she held key roles in Sales & Marketing and helped shape successful commercial strategies.
Her association with Hyatt began as Director of Sales at Park Hyatt Hyderabad, marking the beginning of a deep-rooted journey within the brand. Her impactful work led to leadership roles at Hyatt Regency Pune and Hyatt Place Hyderabad Banjara Hills, where she transitioned from commercial operations into general hotel management—an evolution that showcased her strategic versatility and guest-centric philosophy.
At Hyatt Place Vadodara, Kapoor held her first General Manager role, achieving notable milestones such as enhanced team performance, revenue growth, and significant guest satisfaction improvements. Her ability to synergize internal culture with external guest experience placed the hotel firmly on the map for business and leisure travelers in Gujarat.
Leading Hyatt Place Gurgaon into a Transformative Phase
In her new capacity as General Manager of Hyatt Place Gurgaon, Neha Kapoor is set to lead the hotel through a critical growth phase, as the region sees an uptick in domestic and international travel, MICE events, and business tourism.

Kapoor’s leadership style emphasizes empathy, empowerment, and inclusivity. Her focus on creating a supportive work culture aligns with Hyatt’s global brand values of well-being and care, which have become more critical than ever in a post-pandemic world. By fostering a culture of employee engagement and collaboration, she plans to uplift team morale and productivity while delivering consistent, high-quality guest service.

Known for her forward-thinking mindset, Kapoor brings a data-driven yet people-first approach to hotel operations. At Hyatt Place Gurgaon, she aims to implement tech-enhanced guest services, improved operational workflows, and personalized stay experiences tailored to the diverse needs of modern travelers.
With Gurgaon hosting an ever-growing base of corporate headquarters, startups, and event venues, Kapoor’s dual strength in sales strategy and service operations is expected to strengthen the hotel’s market leadership. The property will also continue to cater to weekend leisure travelers from Delhi-NCR, offering upscale comfort in a central, yet tranquil urban setting.
Promoting Women Leadership in Hospitality
Kapoor’s elevation to this leadership role also highlights Hyatt’s ongoing commitment to gender diversity and internal career development. As more Indian hotel chains embrace inclusive hiring practices, Kapoor stands out as a role model for aspiring women professionals in the tourism and hospitality industry.
Her leadership mantra is clear: “Support colleagues in their well-being journey, lead with integrity, and be empathetic to guests, shareholders, and the community.” These principles have guided her career and will continue to inform her decisions at Hyatt Place Gurgaon.
