Modern Medley

The change can be seen from the porch itself,where a grand water body and extended parking space is visible. Step inside and it’s hard to fathom that this is the same hotel. There seems to be a conscious effort to look contemporary without leaning towards any one type of theme. The international traveller will appreciate the clean,modern,no-fuss look. Though the roof top restaurant Cloud 9 was unveiled a few months ago,this time it’s the multi-cuisine restaurant Bazm and the all-new coffee shop Le Café that’s breathing a new look. The lobby area and the restaurant,with a coffee shop alongside,are designed to have the appearance of one continuous connected space so that hotel guests can comfortably move between these various spaces. While Bazm is clearly distinguished as a fine-dining restaurant with elegant seating,richer hues and intricate filigree work used throughout the space,the café has a more casual feel despite the bright modern being retained. Though the ambience is definitely cheerful and inviting,we wish there were some elements of the city or Le Corbusier that were also incorporated here.

The hotel is also getting itself a swimming pool that will be ready in some time. For those wondering whether the restaurant menu has also been tweaked,the good news is that there are changes in the offing with the inclusion of Italian,Mexican and Continental fare. As is the going trend in restaurants,there’s a live kitchen on view and a wood fired oven that would dish out pizzas in the café,which is now open round-the-clock. It might seem like the done thing these days,but for a place as old as Hotel Shivalikview,these are great measures to catch up with newbies in the city.
