About DoubleTree by Hilton Panaji
DoubleTree by Hilton Goa – Panaji is the riverside hotel wedding on the Mandovi: a 3,034 sq ft ballroom for 120 to 180 at dinner (Cvent; WedMeGood), a courtyard under a mango tree and a lawn over the river, and 160 rooms minutes from Panaji and Old Goa's churches. It suits a 100–250 wedding — a church wedding in Old Goa with the reception by the river is its natural brief.
Panigrahana designs the river lawn for sunset and the ballroom as the dinner room and rain plan.
