Atlanta hospitality group to bring hookah spot to downtown Orlando
Gems Hospitality Group, an Atlanta company founded in 2021 with restaurant and bar endeavors in the Southeast, has set its sights on downtown Orlando for its next nightlife venture.
Cosmo Lounge — one of Gems’ flagship brands — already has a presence at 7513 International Drive as Cosmo Lounge. CEO Jay Charaniya could not be reached for comment prior to publication, but a company shareholder, Narendra Modha, told Orlando Business Journal he and his partners have signed a lease with property owner Team Market Group for a space on East Pine Street. Team Market Group could not be reached for confirmation.
“We are renovating and working on permit applications,” said Modha of the new business. “It will open as Cosmo Downtown in about 20 or 25 days.”
