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.

Premier Suite

48,000

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!!!

Hotel perspective: TownePlace Suites, Vancouver, Washington

Image
On a recent trip to the US, I got to stay - for the first time - at a TownePlace Suites Hotel from the Marriott family. It was interesting for me, never having stayed at this sub-brand of hotels before, though they seem to be quite common place all across North America. For that reason, this might prove to be an interesting read for folks headed there or planning trips to the US and contemplating staying at one of these kind of properties.  Which is also why I've titled this post "perspective" rather than "review". A bit about Vancouver (in the US) and TownePlace Suites Vancouver in Washington State shares the same name with its more popular cousin over the border in British Columbia, Canada. Both the places are in fact named after a sea captain “George Vancouver”, who first discovered both the places. And the TownePlace Suites sub-brand of Marriott hotels offers larger rooms on the whole, and are aimed at long stay guests, and hence come setup with a full ki...

Update on Marriott promo for social media interactions

Image
A couple of months back, Marriott announced Marriott Rewards Plus, a promotion that offered Marriott Rewards points for social media interactions . You could earn points quite easily by: joining the promotion sharing or retweeting Marriott's posts to your Facebook or Twitter feeds each day checking into properties on Facebook or Foursquare every day you visit posting a photo each day to Instagram and tagging it with a property’s location using #LoveMarriottRewards, #RenHotels or #Autograph in your daily Facebook, Twitter and Instagram posts liking and following select brands and properties in Facebook or Twitter You could earn a maximum of 2,000 points every 30 days till November 2014, making it a total of 12,000 points virtually free. But a lot of that has changed, suddenly and quite drastically. The biggest changes (easiest earning ops) are: no more 250 points for "liking" a Marriott property's Facebook page or following it on Twitter, sharing or re-tweeting content...

Smoking areas at Indian airports

Image
I know its a dirty habit, but it has been around for nearly 7000 years! Granted, aviation is only a little over a 100 years old, but there always will be smokers. So here’s a low-down on smoking rules and areas in some airports: New Delhi  Terminal 1D (Domestic): Available, after security. Go to the food court on the first floor. The smoking room has been relocated to the ground level (all boarding gates) and is near the crew security area opposite Gate 13. Terminal 3 (Domestic): Available, after security. There’s one on the first floor – between the eateries and the lounges, one on the left just before the ramp towards the gates (at the end of the food stalls), and one behind the flight display screens between the left and right concourses. Terminal 3 (International): Smoking areas are available only at the concourses to gates. There's one on the right at the beginning of the right concourse, and one in the middle on the "D" pier. Mumbai Terminal 1A (Domestic):    [I...
