Couldn't have had a better memory than this #MMTLuxuryStays

 

I was on a holiday with my college friends and we were 5 girls in a group. My friend had booked two rooms at Hyatt Regency in Chandigarh and my friend had paid all the expenses herself. It was the first time I was staying in such a 5-star luxury restaurant and hence it was one of the most memorable experiences. I was at first very skeptical to ask any doubts as everything was new to me. I still remember the first time when I entered the restaurant, the entire feeling was weird as all the guests were from rich families and it made me feel very awkward before them as I came from a middle-class family. When I was asked for my luggage by the bellboy, I refused at first but my friend told me to hand him over the luggage and asked me and the others to follow. When we reached the room, the bellboy kept the luggage safely in the room and as I knew that I had to tip him, I offered him a note of Rs. 50 that was a huge amount in those days. He looked at me and smiled, thanking me for the gesture, but he refused to take the money. I thought that he felt embarrassed taking such a small amount from me and I offered him another note and my friends started laughing. I did not understand anything and told him that I could afford to give him only this much. He politely told me that they don’t take tips from guests as it’s their duty to serve them. I smiled at him and he left the room. What I had initially thought about 5-star restaurant staff members being rude and judgemental, the staff was exactly the opposite.

 

In the evening, I was unsure of what to order from the restaurant and the waiters kept suggesting me dishes that I would like to have. I could order anything from the menu as it was a buffet. The manager had realized my discomfort and hence he himself went up to the counter and brought a plate filled with almost every dish for me and asked me to taste it and make a choice. I and my friends were surprised that the manager was so courteous that he was himself guiding and helping us while having dinner that we were touched immensely by their service. The staff had realized that we were feeling awkward eating before celebrities who were dining at the opposite tables. I was being too cautious while eating and hence the manager himself told us that we don’t need to hesitate to ask them for anything and the staff treats everyone equally. We are special as their guests just like the celebrities. He even made us meet the celebrities and talk to them. I cannot ever forget that moment as I was almost speechless and this was indeed one of the best memories I’ve ever had at a luxurious restaurant.

Wedding Day Memories #LuxuriousExperience

Life was taking a new turn! It was my wedding day and I celebrated my wedding in “The Westin Mumbai Garden City” years ago. I had booked the wedding hall and the hotel offered me a honeymoon suite in the package. The stay was the most memorable one as nothing can be more special that the wedding day itself. When we entered the room, the dim lights were on and the room was decorated better than our expectations. Everything was perfect to match the occasion of our wedding. My husband had got the table decorated with candles lit on top and a basket containing flowers and chocolates that were my favorite ones. It also had a letter that had a congratulatory message for our wedding with a personal message from my husband. We were so happy that the hotel staff had done so much for us and had got everything done up exactly the way my husband had told them. The room was quite big with the AC maintained as a comfortable level. I just loved the entire environment that made the evening so elegant and beautiful that it’s difficult to explain it in just words. The entire room had all the amenities we required and the view from the room was pleasing to watch.

 

The next morning, we ordered for breakfast. They had given us an option to join the buffet breakfast as well but we preferred to have it in the room. The same was delivered very quickly to our room and I had asked them for a special green tea as well for breakfast and they followed the instructions perfectly. The best part of my stay at The Westin was the lunch and dinner served. We already had an idea of the taste of this hotel as the wedding food was delicious and we enjoyed the buffet too served during our stay. The spices used in the food were very Indian and there were variety of dishes we could choose from that was very good. The hotel staff were very courteous and cooperative that they kept asking us about the things we needed from time-to-time and whenever I needed anything from the room service, I was attended to very quickly. Overall, my honeymoon experience was great at the hotel and while leaving, we received a THANK YOU present as well from them which made my stay complete in a way that I couldn’t have asked for more.
