Overview & History
Blue Diamond is one of Pune's longest-running luxury hotels and is widely regarded as the city's first five-star property. It belonged to the Kirloskar group for around three decades before the Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) took it over in 1999, after which it ran for many years under the Taj and Vivanta banners. It now sits within IHCL's SeleQtions collection, which groups distinctive and heritage hotels under the Taj parent. The hotel has around 110 rooms and suites and retains a sense of its long history while operating as a modern full-service hotel.
Its location on Koregaon Road, at the edge of Pune's fashionable Koregaon Park, places it among the city's best-known dining and social districts. The hotel has long been a fixture for Pune's business, social and wedding calendars.

The Ruby Hall Clinic station on the Pune Metro Aqua Line, the eastern end of the Vanaz–Ramwadi corridor, is around 1.5 km away and gives rail access across the central city.
