Aster Hospitality — Our Story

Our Story

India's Premier
Hospitality
Consultancy

"Aster Hospitality was built on a singular belief — that great hospitality businesses are not born by accident. They are designed, planned, and executed with precision and passion."

Founded and led by Mr. Anil Rawat, a hospitality professional with over two decades of experience across India's most prestigious hotel brands, Aster Hospitality Consultancy was established to bridge the gap between vision and execution for hotel and restaurant owners.

Since 2015, we have successfully delivered 40+ hospitality projects across India — from intimate boutique restaurants to large-scale hotel food & beverage operations — covering pre-opening planning, kitchen design, bar setup, brand development, and ongoing operational support.

Our approach is always practical, cost-efficient, and result-oriented. We work alongside owners and developers — not as outsiders, but as invested partners in your success.
