Grand Mercure Candolim Goa x Seonart: Building and Transforming a Hospitality Brand
Before It Became Grand Mercure
Some projects begin after launch.
Some begin before anything exists.
This one started when the property was still known as Antarim.
Not fully built.
Not yet defined.
Just a vision waiting to take shape.
Seonart came in at that stage
to build everything from the ground up.
From Antarim to Grand Mercure Candolim Goa
The transition from Antarim to Grand Mercure Candolim Goa was not just a name change.
It was a complete transformation.
A shift in positioning.
A shift in identity.
A shift in how the brand would be experienced.
Seonart was involved across both phases
building the foundation and later redefining it.

Seonart x Antarim: Building From Scratch
When the property was still Antarim, Seonart handled the complete branding process.
There was no starting point.
Everything had to be created.
What Seonart Built

- Logos for in-house restaurants and spaces
- Menu design and layout
- Stationery and brand collateral
- Overall design language and consistency
The goal was to create a cohesive identity across every touchpoint.
The Transition: Rebranding to Grand Mercure
As the property evolved into Grand Mercure Candolim Goa, the brand required a complete shift.
Not just visually
but strategically.

They are experiences built across multiple layers
- Design
- Food

Consistency across all of these defines perception.
This is where branding becomes critical.
