JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa Welcomes Lair for Exclusive Cocktail Experience

Bengaluru’s luxury hospitality and nightlife scene is preparing for a special collaboration as JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa announces a two-night takeover by Lair, one of India’s most recognised contemporary cocktail bars.

Scheduled for 23 and 24 October 2026, the event will take place at The WKND, the resort’s speakeasy-inspired bar, bringing Lair’s acclaimed cocktail programme from New Delhi to the foothills of Nandi Hills.

The experience will run from 8 pm until 1 am on both evenings, featuring specially curated cocktails, DJ entertainment and a selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian tapas.

With cocktails starting at INR 1,500, the collaboration is designed for Bengaluru’s cocktail enthusiasts, luxury resort guests and visitors seeking an evening of premium dining and entertainment.

Lair Brings Its Award-Winning Mixology Programme to Bengaluru

Lair has established a prominent position within India’s contemporary cocktail industry through its distinctive approach to mixology, presentation and guest experiences.

The New Delhi establishment was named The Best Bar in India 2025 and secured eighth position in Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025 ranking.

The venue has also been recognised as India’s leading bar and placed 96th globally in the relevant international bar rankings, according to the event announcement.

These achievements have strengthened Lair’s reputation among cocktail enthusiasts and hospitality professionals.

For the Bengaluru takeover, Lair’s mixologists will introduce a curated selection from the bar’s cocktail programme, allowing guests to experience its approach without travelling to the national capital.

The collaboration also reflects the growing role of guest shifts and visiting bartender programmes in connecting India’s leading hospitality destinations.

The WKND Offers an Intimate Setting for the Collaboration

Located within JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa, The WKND provides a contemporary setting inspired by the atmosphere of a speakeasy.

The venue combines an intimate environment with music, cocktails and opportunities for relaxed social interaction.

Its collaboration with Lair brings together two different bar identities, creating a temporary experience centred on modern cocktail culture.

During the takeover, guests can explore Lair’s specially selected drinks while enjoying The WKND’s existing hospitality offerings.

A female DJ will provide a club-inspired soundtrack throughout the evenings, adding an entertainment element to the cocktail programme.

Vegetarian and non-vegetarian tapas from The WKND’s menu will also be available, allowing guests to combine drinks with small-plate dining.

Nandi Hills Resort Strengthens Experiential Hospitality Offering

The collaboration adds another experience to the resort’s established luxury hospitality portfolio.

Situated near Nandi Hills, JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa offers 301 rooms, suites and villas overlooking the surrounding landscape and golf course.

The property features six dining venues alongside extensive wellness and recreational facilities.

Its amenities include a fitness centre, yoga room, steam and sauna facilities, a Family by JW activity area, an entertainment zone and a spa offering specialised wellness treatments.

The resort also provides more than 100,000 square feet of event space, including a 22,000-square-foot pillarless convention centre and 14 breakout rooms.

According to the property, it is approximately 20 minutes from Bengaluru’s international airport, although journey times depend on traffic conditions.

Cocktail Collaborations Add Value to Luxury Tourism

Visiting bartender programmes are becoming an increasingly visible feature of premium hospitality experiences.

For hotels and resorts, such collaborations create opportunities to introduce recognised culinary and beverage concepts without establishing permanent outlets.

They also provide guests with access to experiences normally associated with other cities.

The Lair takeover illustrates this approach by bringing a recognised New Delhi cocktail destination into Bengaluru’s luxury resort environment.

For visitors staying near Nandi Hills, the event offers an additional evening entertainment option within the property.

Event Timings, Prices and Reservations

The Lair guest shift will take place at The WKND on 23 and 24 October 2026, between 8 pm and 1 am.
