A new boutique hotel redefines the citys skyline
Every night,the traffic en route the main road dividing the two phases of Chandigarhs Industrial Area (the Tribune Chowk road),slows down at one particular spot. The commuters cant help but look up at the changing palette of colours flashing on a new building on the road its the new boutique hotel in the business-cum-industrial area Phase II of Chandigarh,The Altius.
The credit for the hotel interiors goes to its director Ginny Chawlas mother,Ravi Chawla and city-based interior designers,Annu Bains and Rajiv Mahajan. If anything can make or break a hotel,it is its food and service. Tiny but important details like a valet service,or fresh napkins and cold water on the table need to be addressed. But these are blanks that are filled by Canada-returned chef Manmeet Singhs signature dishes.
Once at The Altius,skip the continental,Thai and Chinese cuisine. We suggest that one should order Indian at the hotels fine dining restaurant,for thats the USP. From the aromas of a perfectly marinated dum cooked Atta Chicken,earthy flavours of Dal Makhani,fresh herbs on chicken starters to soft paranthas,and the in-house kulfi for the finale,Singh showcases his skills.
Meanwhile,at night,the hotel comes alive with fire jugglers and a high-spirited bar. The coloured fountains and play of red,blue and orange lights on the hotels facade are the showstoppers.
