When considering how to celebrate a special day in a special way, it is important to find a place that can turn those moments into treasured memories. After careful consideration, we decided to choose a brand known for its exceptional hospitality.
On the day of Holi, we arrived at the stunning DoubleTree by Hilton Baani Square Gurugram. We were greeted by the friendly staff offering us welcome cookies. It was heartwarming to see the staff engaging with guests flawlessly even on a holiday. The Director of Sales, Abhishek Kumar kindly met us in the lobby and invited us to take a tour of the hotel after lunch.
DoubleTree by Hilton is an iconic hotel that is renowned for its elegant aesthetics, modern interiors, exquisite cuisine, exceptional event spaces, and warm hospitality. Located in Sector 50, the hotel has established itself as an ideal destination for both business and leisure guests due to its proximity to Baani Square’s shopping boutiques and restaurants, Good Earth City Center, Golf Course Extension Road, and Unitech Cyber Park.
Upon entering our One-Bedroom Premium Suite, we were immediately impressed by the beautiful ambiance. The living room, furnished with a comfortable sofa set, work table, LED TV, in-room space, and minibar, set the tone for a relaxing holiday. The bedroom, featuring a king-size bed with incredibly comfortable bed linens, deserved special mention. Each room had intercom facilities, high-speed WIFI, and a bathroom equipped with premium bath products, a bathtub, and separate shower areas.
Feeling rejuvenated and refreshed, we found ourselves at the elegant Glasshouse restaurant, a multi-cuisine outlet that offers a wide selection of hearty meals from both local and international cuisines. The entire staff was always ready to assist with anything we needed.
After enjoying a delectable lunch with simple yet flavourful and authentic recipes, Abhishek joined us to explore the property. The hotel boasts 201 well-appointed rooms and suites, 4 spacious meeting rooms, and 2 indoor and 2 outdoor event venues that are fully equipped to host social and corporate events. The hotel’s talented catering team is capable of creating custom menus that cater to a variety of tastes and preferences, ensuring a truly memorable event. Whether guests prefer regional delicacies, international flavours, or fusion cuisine, they can rely on the fantastic catering team at DoubleTree by Hilton Gurugram Baani Square.
As the elevator opened at Vibe – The Sky Bar, Gurugram’s highest rooftop bar, we were surprised to find ourselves amid a vibrant Holi pool party. The festive atmosphere quickly drew us in, and we joined both guests and hotel staff in celebrating the colourful festival. Vibe – The Sky Bar is one of the hotel’s two premium bars, offering sophisticated bites, handcrafted cocktails, and mocktails with breathtaking city views.
The Vibe Experience is indeed very unique. The awe-inspiring city views and enchanting atmosphere of this luxurious rooftop bar are perfect for socializing with friends and family or hosting corporate events. Immerse yourself in a re-imagined open-air dining experience, adhering to strict safety measures, curated by Executive Chef Sandeep Panwar, featuring a delightful menu including Lebanese Mezze Board, Tandoor Pizza, Amritsari Fish n Chips, Martban ka Murgh, Pakay Ghosht Ke Kebab, Salted Caramel Turtle Brownie, and more. In the words of Jai Chugh, General Manager of the hotel, combining outdoor dining with a safe environment is an unmissable experience. With contemporary music, friendly staff, and delectable food choices, this one promises guests a memorable evening.
The other bar, Pose – The Fashion Bar, provides a natural outdoor setting as well. Additionally, the hotel offers Accessible Rooms for guests with special needs.
After taking a leisurely stroll around the premises, we had the pleasure of enjoying freshly brewed coffee and assorted cookies at Café O Lait. During my conversation with Abhishek, I discussed how Double Tree Hilton has consistently met the customized needs and requirements of both business and leisure travellers over the years.
“It is not an easy task to satisfy every customer, but our brand strives to address and understand every issue and give our 100% to solve any problems our guests may face. These small gestures make all the difference in the end,” Abhishek explained. Abhishek also shared the exciting news that Hilton has plans for several new projects throughout the country in the coming years. He expressed his confidence in the growth potential of the hospitality industry.
