O que as pessoas dizem

While I've been a regular diner at Grand Hyatt and partied at the star-truffled China House Lounge, I've never stayed there. Myriad rooms, Residences with its private driveway, staggering categories of suites, and a mall. Add fine dining restaurants, gourmet store, nightclub, spa, gym, pool — it's the perfect staycation! So when the opportunity presented itself, I made reservations, and arrived at noon. Boasting of a sleek minimalist decor, the hotel's splendor enveloped me as I walked a flight up to check-in and was escorted to a suite. High ceiling and cityscapes, plush bedroom adjacent to a large bathroom with a shower, toilet and tub with sea salt. For business, there's a workstation in the living area adjacent to a sofa set with chocolates, fruits and wine. I had hardly been there ten minutes but was indulging in princess pampering! Hanging clothes in the closet, I ran in for a shower and headed for luncheon at China House. The sumptuous meal spearheaded by Chef Hermann Grossbichler was followed by an hour's rest and 60-min deep tissue therapy with gentle lemon-ginger oil at the spa. The therapist was an expert in relaxing knots and tense muscles and I fell asleep. When she woke me, I was deeply relaxed and all set to meet a friend over cocktails at Club Lounge. Time flew with camaraderie adding a fun dimension to the evening and it was time for dinner at Celini which has been serving the privileged for years. What followed was an evening indulging in regional Italian dishes which ensured languorous sleep. Glancing at the clock when I woke a tad late the following morning reminded me it was time for a quick breakfast and an art tour as the hotel houses some of the finest works of commissioned art by both established and aspiring artists, inspired by three of the greatest archeological sites in Mumbai dedicated to Lord Shiva—Isle Of Elephanta; Cave Temple Of Jogeshwari; Mandapeshwar. What's fascinating is that public spaces like niches in the lobby and restaurants transform into unique art galleries! This review would be deficient if I failed to mention that the service was amazing throughout the stay. The management goes out of its way to make guests feel relaxed and service is polite and efficient. The hotel's range of services and amenities, its upscale restaurants and bar will attract you but its hospitable management will make you feel at home and tempt you to stay longer.
