There are some who enjoy long breaks, being off the grid for days with their phone on DND and email logged out. Then, there are the rest like me, who enjoy regular breaks, just a little something every month or so to help relax the mind, without travelling to the farthest corner of the city just to experience being cut off for a few hours. If you are in the latter gang, good news, I have a recommendation for you! Hyatt Regency Delhi, the five-star property in bang middle of Delhi is actually the most convenient staycation spot in the capital and here’s all the convincing you need.
First things first, the location is fab. Located in Bhikaji Cama Place, you are minutes away from all the cool hoods– Vasant Vihar’s Priya Market, Vasant Kunj, Mehrauli, Meherchand Market, Safdarjung, you name it. Also, it’s a blessing for travellers since it’s easily reachable from the Airport and saves a lot of time spent travelling here and there, you get the point.
They have a total of 492 contemporary rooms, including 50 luxury suites, with access to pool or city views. We stayed at the Regency Suite that comes with a cosy living room of its own with a desk space and a plush king size bed, with a nice view of the pool. The lovely washroom is done up in marble with a tub and shower room. The suite is equipped with anything and everything you will need for a comfy stay– robes, slippers, a fully stocked minifridge, amazing toiletries Also, staying at the suite gives you access to the Regency Club Lounge where you can enjoy happy hours on beverages in the evening.
The pool offers you a relaxing escape from the heat. While their Club Olympus Spa, Salon and fitness centre has you sorted beyond. Choose from a range of spa treatments and unwind in peace. We went in for a mani-pedi session, and when I tell you that it was worth every penny, you better believe it. The most professional staff, quality products and a view of the swimming pool, you will be pampered like anything.
For food, we picked on our forever favourite, La Piazza, the OG Italian restaurant that feels like a trattoria-esque restaurant straight out of a vintage movie. Our order was the Caprese Salad which was light and heavenly on a hot summer night. Followed by the creamy mushroom risotto, the La Piazza pizza and the best tiramisu you can have in Delhi. Not craving Italian food? You have China Kitchen, TK’s and Syrah to sort you.
For the breakfast buffet, head down to the Cafe where you have a grand fare waiting. With all sorts of breakfast goodies one can want, you start with the cold cuts and cheeses, and build up an appetite for the dosa and omelette (the ham and cheese is yum). Mind you, it can get busy since the hotel is a hit amongst foreign travellers so plan to hit the buffet early.
As for the service, the friendly folks at Hyatt Regency Delhi leave no stone unturned to make your stay memorable. So, the next time you plan an easy staycation in Delhi, you know where to be.
