We are therefore confident that Moxy's bold brand values and playful spirit will appeal to visitors keen to work hard and play hard in the city centre."

Bhavik Jayendrakumar Shah, director at Niveda Realty, added: "Our understanding of the evolving real estate market and travel trends prompted us to develop this prime property into a modern hotel, and we believe Moxy's blend of character, comfort and community will help us meet the demands of this burgeoning city."
