The Westin, Gurgaon, is a great place to head to if you want a weekend in the city (but not in the heart of it), with access to great food, drinks, spa sessions, and more.
The great thing about this property is that it’s managed to encapsulate only the nicest little slice of Gurgaon in its larger aesthetic. You can see the peeking tops of concrete monstrosities that give you that World City feeling, but you’re encased in enough greenery and open space to not be bothered by it. The ample breadth of the hotel is replete with delightful little details, the most striking of which is a stunning, field-size water installation that looks as though a million tiny, white birds are descending in downward flight, reminiscent of the ones we drew in kindergarten drawing books.
An undercurrent of thoughtfulness runs through every move you make at The Westin, Gurgaon. From when you step into a car that’s been organised for you (Wi-Fi enabled, thank you very much), to the fact that you can check in while you’re on your way and are given your room key in transit, so you can get to your room without the hassle of a harried wait at the reception, and the endless signings of multiple sheets, it’s a nuanced understanding of convenience.
What makes this hotel so ideal for a staycation is the plethora of lovely little restaurants ensconced under the one {giant} roof. No cuisine is left unturned, and whether you’re angling for some decadent Italian food or closer-to-home authentically Indian food, you’ll find a space that fits. I myself tried three, but I hear the High Tea at Daily Treats, the one I missed, is to die for.
Tariff: Starting at INR 7,829 per night
