Overview & Setting
Wow Crest, Indore is part of IHCL SeleQtions, the distinctive-properties collection from the Taj Group's parent company, the Indian Hotels Company. It is a high-rise design hotel on AB Road, one of Indore's busiest commercial corridors, with 125 rooms including 11 suites arranged around a tall open atrium. The interiors lean into a contemporary Indian look, with peacock motifs and bold finishes that set it apart from the more conventional five-stars in the city. It is positioned as a stylish, food-led city hotel for travellers who want character as well as comfort.
Location & Getting There
The hotel is roughly 9 km from Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar Airport (IDR), around a 25-minute drive, with airport transfers available on request. Indore Junction railway station is about 7 km away. The AB Road position puts shopping, including C21 Mall, within a couple of kilometres, while the historic centre — Rajwada Palace, Lal Bagh Palace and the Sarafa Bazaar night-food market — lies 8 to 9 km away, a 20-minute drive. Mayank Blue Water Park is about 2.5 km from the hotel for families travelling with children.
Rooms & Suites
Accommodation spans Superior, Deluxe and Executive rooms in king and twin configurations, Premium and SeleQtions suites, and a set of pet-friendly Pawcations rooms designed for guests travelling with dogs. Rooms carry the hotel's signature cultural motifs and contemporary furnishings, with floor-to-ceiling windows on the higher floors giving city views. Suites add a separate living area and more elevated finishes, useful for longer stays or small celebrations.
Dining
Food is central to the experience, with five outlets. The Constellation is the all-day multi-cuisine restaurant; Nazm serves North-West Frontier dishes; Dhuaan covers Mediterranean and global cooking; WYND is a lava-grill and barbecue concept; and Twilight, the rooftop bar, pairs cocktails with Asian small plates and skyline views. The breadth of cuisines under one roof is unusual for Indore and is a key part of the hotel's appeal.
Amenities, Spa & Pool
The rooftop holds an outdoor infinity pool, a strong draw given the city views and Indore's warm climate. There is a spa and salon, a fitness studio with classes, free Wi-Fi throughout, EV charging stations and in-room dining. The high-rise open atrium is an architectural centrepiece and gives the public areas a sense of space and drama that distinguishes the hotel from its peers.
Experiences & Things to Do Nearby
From the AB Road base, the city's highlights are within easy reach. The Sarafa Bazaar night food market, about 8 km away, is essential for anyone interested in Indore's celebrated street food. Rajwada and Lal Bagh Palace tell the story of the Holkar dynasty, and the shopping and dining of Vijay Nagar and AB Road are close by. Indore is also a convenient launchpad for day trips to Mandu, with its medieval Afghan-era ruins, and to the riverside temple town of Omkareshwar.
Who It's Best For
Wow Crest suits travellers who want a design-driven, food-focused city hotel rather than a standard business box — couples, style-conscious leisure guests, and business travellers who appreciate good restaurants and a rooftop pool at the end of the day. The pet-friendly rooms make it a rare option for those travelling with dogs. With its central AB Road location and IHCL pedigree, it is one of Indore's more distinctive luxury stays.
