As one steps inside The Quorum Hyderabad, the journey begins on the sixth floor, where an impressive reception area unfolds. Designed by greymatters, a precious stone counter stands against intricately crafted wood wall panels, while a mirror ceiling amplifies the sense of space, making the environment feel both expansive and welcoming.
Exploring the heart of the club
Passing the reception, a mirrored corridor leads to Coalesce, the main dining restaurant and bar, complemented by an inviting outdoor deck. Coalesce enchants with its floating flower lights and antique mirror ceiling, providing a refreshing oasis within the club. For intimate gatherings, two private dining rooms await.
Continuing the exploration, one arrives at the club’s centerpiece: the Blooming Tree Bar. This striking establishment features a monumental lighting pillar, enhanced by the mirror ceiling, creating a captivating interplay of reflections. Cosy seating areas invite one to relax and enjoy a drink while overlooking the serene outdoor pool.
As one proceed to the pavilion, an impressive metal structure beckons. This versatile space artfully blends the club’s sophisticated design with its natural surroundings. The outdoor pool deck, featuring a lap pool and an ethereal black metal gazebo that appears to float above the water, adds to the allure. Adjacent to this tranquil area, an outdoor bar and seating invites one to unwind with refreshments after a swim.
Ascending to the rooftop terrace, a DJ booth and two padel courts enhance The Quorum’s reputation as a vibrant hub for elevated living and community engagement.
Discovering productivity at TBQ
On the fifth floor, one enter TBQ (The Business Quarter), the club’s co-working space designed for productivity. A gracefully curved wood wall separates the reception and pantry from the main working area, while acoustic paneling and carpets ensure an optimal working environment.
As one walks through a corridor adorned with artworks curated under The Quorum’s ‘Art Quotient’ program, one arrives at the work lounge, a vibrant hub for social and cultural activities. A grand staircase enclosed in a Brooklyn-style glass box illuminates the space with natural light, accentuated by a stunning installation by origami artist Ankon Mitra, symbolizing the convergence of great minds and ideas.
Nestled behind the work lounge is a hidden gem: The Library, accessible through a rotating bookshelf, offering an inspiring meeting space.

The vision behind The Quorum
The design of The Quorum Hyderabad was driven by the vision of co-founders Vivek and Sonya, who sought to create chic, ergonomic, and multifunctional spaces. Their aim was to develop adaptable areas that could seamlessly accommodate various activities while embodying the club’s distinctive culture. This vision led to the incorporation of movable furniture and artistic elements throughout the design.
A thoughtful colour palette
The carefully curated colour palette enhances the club’s atmosphere, balancing neutral foundations with vibrant accents. Soft pastels create tranquility, while muted tones provide depth. This thoughtful distribution fosters a harmonious environment, whether vibrant or serene.
Commitment to sustainability
Sustainability is integral to The Quorum’s design, prioritizing energy-efficient LED lighting, low-flow fixtures, and sustainable materials like natural wood and locally sourced stones. This commitment minimizes environmental impact while offering an exceptional hospitality experience.
The Quorum Hyderabad transcends mere physical space; it embodies a curated community of like-minded individuals. Its standout feature, The Regal Lounge, exudes sophistication, merging modern elegance with traditional opulence. The thoughtful integration of cultural heritage and contemporary design ensures a unique experience that resonates with the city’s rich history.
Navigating challenges in design
Designing The Quorum presented challenges, particularly in harmonizing modernity with tradition. By carefully selecting materials and design elements that resonate with local heritage, the team crafted a cohesive space. Versatile areas cater to diverse activities, ensuring exclusivity while remaining welcoming.
The Quorum Hyderabad exemplifies a captivating blend of cultural heritage and modern design. Through thoughtful solutions to complex challenges, the club emerges as an exceptional destination, offering members an exclusive yet inclusive environment that celebrates innovation and community.
