In an industry where change is the only constant, and excellence is measured in seconds, Suveer Sodhi stands tall—not because of loud accolades, but because of a journey stitched together by vision, resilience, and a relentless pursuit of meaningful hospitality.
Currently serving as the Multi-Property General Manager for Marriott Hotels in Bengaluru, Suveer brings not just operational mastery, but a leadership philosophy that is rare in today’s fast-paced, profit-first environment. His career arc has not only spanned iconic hotel brands and international settings, but more importantly, has created lasting cultures, empowered teams, and delivered unforgettable guest moments across every touchpoint.
Finding Purpose in Every Position
Suveer’s foray into hospitality wasn’t just a career decision it was a calling. From his earliest days at Hyatt Regency, where he started as a Management Trainee, to spearheading complex hotel operations, his evolution has been both organic and intentional. Each chapter of his career reflects a powerful theme: depth over display.
By the time he joined DLF Limited, managing marquee outlets like Set’z, Cha Shi, and Cafe E, Suveer had already started shaping his own understanding of how modern dining and guest experiences could intersect with profitability and innovation. He wasn’t just running operations; he was crafting experiences that stuck with people long after checkout.
The F&B Alchemist
Perhaps one of Suveer’s most defining strengths is his natural affinity for Food & Beveragea passion that he carried forward during his tenure at Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts. Under his leadership, the brand saw the launch of five distinct F&B concepts within a single hotel each one with its own identity, its own story. From multi-cuisine innovation to award-winning Italian and Chinese dining concepts, he demonstrated that even within structure, there is boundless room for creativity.
But beyond accolades and press mentions, what made his work special was the emotional intelligence behind it. He understood that food isn’t just about cuisine—it’s about comfort, culture, and connection. That understanding made his F\&B ventures resonate beyond the menu.
Leadership at Scale: Goa, Pune, and Now Bengaluru
The shift from F&B to full property leadership was seamless. At Hyatt Regency Pune, he managed a property of 303 keys, including serviced apartments, four dining outlets, and expansive event spaces. His strategic focus was not only on performance metrics but also on nurturing a high-performance team culture.
This foundation laid the path for one of the most transformative roles of his career—General Manager at Alila Diwa Goa. As part of the Hyatt-Alila integration, Suveer was appointed as the first Hyatt GM for the property, marking a bold new chapter for the brand in India. His tenure wasn’t just about running a luxury beach resort—it was about preserving Alila’s intimate, experience-driven ethos while weaving in the operational excellence of Hyatt.
Fast-forward to today, and Suveer now oversees multiple Marriott properties in Bengaluru, one of India’s most competitive and dynamic hospitality markets. Here, he operates with the balance of a visionary and a tactician—navigating multi-property complexity, market evolution, and brand alignment, while never losing sight of what hospitality is truly about: people.
Leadership That Listens
What truly sets Suveer apart is his leadership style. It’s grounded, thoughtful, and inclusive. He leads with empathy, not ego—listening as much as he guides, coaching as much as he commands.
In conversations with his team, there’s a consistent sentiment: He builds leaders, not followers. Whether it’s a young chef dreaming of becoming an executive or a front desk executive curious about revenue strategy, Suveer creates room for growth—for everyone.
His decisions are not driven by trends, but by values. And that’s what gives his properties stability, even during unpredictable market shifts.
More Than a Title, It’s a Responsibility
Suveer doesn’t chase recognition, but his impact speaks for itself. In 2025, that impact was quietly but powerfully acknowledged when he was honored as the General Manager of the Year by Hotelier India—a nod to his dedication, innovation, and the consistent excellence he brings to the industry.
This recognition wasn’t the goal, but rather a reflection of the countless hours spent building teams, enhancing guest experiences, and driving business success with integrity.
Looking Ahead
With Marriott International’s vision and Suveer’s strategic insight, the future looks brighter than ever—for his properties, his teams, and the hospitality industry at large. His journey is proof that success in hospitality isn’t about chasing stars on your collar—it’s about creating stars in your team, and sparking delight in every guest who walks through your doors.
As the world of hospitality pivots towards emotional branding, sustainability, and guest personalization, leaders like Suveer Sodhi remind us that at the heart of every hotel isn’t just a room—it’s a story waiting to be written.
