Barely couple of years after India’s bloody partition in 1947, the battered Kohli family with its meagre resources chartered into Chandigarh, the new capital of Punjab in making. Trusting the promising vision of Pandit Nehru and Sardar Kairon, the Kohli Brothers built Aroma and gave the new city its first commercial building.

The endeavor became iconic of a belief in ‘city of future’ which, given the challenges the newly freed country faced, many were skeptical of. It was indeed an uphill task. Establishing a hotel in a locale surrounded by farmlands and mango groves, to many including the national hospitality industry seemed a misadventure.

But undeterred the family toiled and braved all the odds at all costs and kept its commitment to make the new city happen. Over the past decades Aroma has seen the city grow into a bustling regional hub. The hotel has it to its credit, introduction of many maiden services to the city.

Sitting in the heart of city, alike a Town Hall, Aroma continues to witness every moment of city’s joy, ecstasy and protest. The Aroma stands tall not only as an unmatchable landmark of the city beautiful but also as a living legend of the hard work of its founders, The Kohli Brothers.
