kunzum's video: Hotel Review: Vivanta by Taj - Guwahati Assam India

What can be exciting about a city hotel? Plenty, if it’s the Vivanta by Taj in Guwahati in the north-eastern Indian state of Assam. ** READ THE FULL REVIEW AT [http://kunzum.com/2016/19/hotel-review-vivanta-taj-guwahati-assam-india/] ** THE ROOMS Spacious, very spacious. Accountants threw the luxury of space in hotels out of the window as real estate became dearer in urban areas. But the rooms at Vivanta allow you to stretch as much as you want to - and then some more. You have a very comfortable king bed (my tall frame loved it!!), a couch, a study and a lavish bath. Overlooking the lawns, the pool and the lush landscape of Assam beyond - provided you asked for room in the right direction. The welcome chocolates and fruits serve as good appetizers to your stay. THE FOOD Many a hotel chain - even high end ones - stumble when it comes to meals at properties outside of big cities. But the chefs, led by executive chef Anirban Dasgupta, at Taj Guwahati are a breed apart - nothing less than a podium finish would do for them even if they are in one of the remote regions of the country. REJUVENATE If you want to give me a gift, send across vouchers to the Jiva spa - a chain run across Taj hotels. It is not easy to get a spa right - this includes the facilities, the mood, the staff and the treatment itself - but Jiva seems to have. The one in Guwahati pampered me no end even though I went in for only one session (I should have booked one more!!) - I did not want to leave and had to be dragged out screaming and kicking. Ok, the last part is an exaggeration but you get drift, right? THE INTERIORS What I like about the newer properties of Taj is the emphasis on interiors. I want to be friends with their consultants who identify and develop the furniture, the bells, the lights and all other items that make these hotels a sight in themselves. I would love to own some of these - but then again, Taj must be guarding their sources like state secrets!!! HOSPITALITY Every luxury hotel does not necessarily take care of you very well. Yes, they all maintain high standards but the differentiator are some of the finer nuances. You can make out in the body language - Vivanta in Guwahati scores highly here too. You can see the staff is eager to please without being overbearing - and take pride in their work. A smile and a positive attitude is the bedrock of the hospitality industry.
