Every once in a while, we all deserve, nay, need to stop. This stopping doesn’t necessarily have to come off as picking a hobby or another chore. It’s a break from life to relax and just be with yourself. For that to happen, we also need a space that makes us feel at peace – especially when we’re constantly surrounded by rush. Radisson Blu Plaza is THAT space. I’ll tell you what – a weekend at the property was everything I needed to freshen up and start again.
A colleague and I spent the weekend after women’s day at Radisson’s Mehrauli hotel, and it was as symbolic as it sounds. Just women unwinding from work and life, in general to give themselves some time – we don’t do that often, right? We checked-in to a luxurious room which was just as comfortable, but it was the welcome that left us with a smile. The staff was particularly sweet and understanding, which automatically made the stay pleasant.
After discovering the amenities in our room, and sipping on our welcome drinks, we left for an elaborate lunch at NYC’s buffet. Understandably, we got ourselves a spread from the oriental and north Indian menu. The meal ended with multiple desserts, because that’s how we roll.
We were then invited to join the Holi fest for an evening of colours, music, food and drinks. At the fest, we paired some tempting food with our white wine. The dimsums were… *chef’s kiss* that good. This was like finding everything you like under one roof, and we almost didn’t want to leave. But we had to, to freshen up for dinner. We came back to our room, to find pedicure bowls waiting for us, and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. While watching an episode of Brookyln Nine-Nine (a show we both love), we got ourselves a nice feet-rinse.
For dinner, we visited The Kebab Factory. And let me put it like this: you wouldn’t want to stop, even when you are full. The food was delicious and there are just so many options – which means that you want to try them all. On top of everything, the vibe of the place made it an incredible experience. Despite not wanting to leave, we wanted a good night’s sleep after the full, heavy meal.
The next morning, after getting breakfast, we booked ourselves a spa. It’s exactly what anyone needs during a staycation. After all, what is unwinding without a little bit of pampering? So we talked to the professionals at Radisson’s “R The Spa” and they suggested us treatments according to our preferences and body types. Post the full-body massage, we used the sauna and other amenities in the space. If the stay was special, the spa was out of the world. The staff at Radisson made it all the more better, because we remember the experience also for the warmth we witnessed.
We ended it with a nice green tea and some cookies, and leaving felt like a tough thing to do. For now, all I want to say about that weekend is that you should treat yourselves to one.
