Park Hyatt Chennai - Weekend spa offer, sounds like a good deal

The Park Hyatt Chennai is a rather new property, and to my mind, very centrally located (at least, as far as my work in MAA goes). They are now running a promotion called "Weekend at the Park", which offers the following, for a weekend booking:


  • breakfast for two
  • 1 hour spa treatment for two
  • INR 2000 F&B credit


I think this is a rather good deal, considering the room rates. Here is the landing page for this promo. They have at least 5 room types that I'm aware of, including 3 suite types (though the number of suites are limited). I also find the suites quite pricey, but I managed to summarise the rates for the coming weekend (this seems to be the general flavour or rates).
Mind you, these are in INR.

Note, that as per local and state regulations, room rates are subject to Government taxes which include a 12.5% Luxury Tax on the Published Rate and a 7.42% Service Tax on the room rate charged.

The Weekend at the Park offer is available only the weekend spa offer rates, though I fail to see what they they wouldn't offer it for the Awaken or Business rates. Strangely, the booking page does not specify what the difference between each of these packages is.

The other reason I mention this offer, is the Sunday Brunch at the Park Hyatt. This is priced at Rs 1650++ for the non-alcohlic brunch buffet, Rs 2400++ for the alcoholic version (specified spirits and house wines), and Rs 5000++ for the Champagne buffet. Now, I haven't tried the Champagne version, so I'm not sure if they actually mean champagne, or sparkling wine. The Taj Coromandel offers the Moet et Chandon sparkling wine as part of its Sunday brunch, for a reasonable Rs 2400++. Nonetheless, the Park Hyatt's brunch is also a good deal; even more so if considered along with the spa offer (remember, F&B credit of INR 2000).

PS: The US$ is at INR 67+ these days, so if you're looking to stretch your $, this isn't a bad opportunity!!!

Free Marriott Silver status...

Image
I think in today's times, it helps to be an Accenture employee. I'm only talking from a miles and points perspective, of course!!! A few days back, I had written about complimentary Hilton HHonors Silver status (with upgrade to Gold in 4 stays) , which was intended for Accenture employees - not that employment was ever verified by Hilton. Now (and I'm not sure if it is just a case of following suit in the spirit of competition), Marriott is also offering complimentary Silver status for Accenture employees. Normally, Silver requires 10 qualifying stays. Here's the link to the sign up page . So, what does Silver with Marriott get you? You can see the benefits for Silver here , and the entire set of benefits for the Marriott Rewards program here , but to summarize the key ones: 20% bonus points free internet access at participating properties in Asia-Pacific late checkout (YMMV) weekend discount of 10% at specific brands / properties access to elite-only rewards some level

50% off at Marriott in Thailand, for one night

Image
Marriott is offering a 50% off for a single night, till 31 July 2014, in exchange for registering for / subscribing to their eNewsletter. I'm not sure what the connection is, but I think the fact that it is for a single night's stay may well be suggestive of promoting Thai tourism, if you know my meaning... But well...its there to be had. I know this isn't exactly an India-focussed deal, but I'm looking at another trip to BKK soon, and I think there could be others who might benefit from this. The 50% off is on the highest available rate. Bookings cannot be done online. Instead, it will have to be done by emailing bookmarriott@marriotthotels.com or by calling the hotel and quoting your cluster code (which is D58) and the voucher number (see steps below for getting the voucher). Do remember to carry a print of the voucher and present it upon check in. Participating hotels are: BANGKOK Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit Marriott Exe
