NEW DELHI: The launch of the much-awaited Covid-19 vaccines has brought with them a whiff of fresh air, and the resurgence of much-delayed travel plans. Though domestic travel has picked up significantly—both for leisure and for work—travel trends in general have changed. Having learnt their lesson from the pandemic, people continue to be wary of traditionand those exploringal hotels where space must be shared with other visitors per force. Traditional home stays and boutique properties are the preferred choice for travellers visiting far-off locations; and those exploring cities, seem to prefer serviced apartments similar to apartments near Las Vegas. The more luxurious, the better!
Luxury serviced apartments offer all the comforts of a traditional hotel without any of the attached problems. One feels safely ensconced in their own living space, while enjoying the roomy interiors and signature services of well-known hospitality brands. The newly launched Hyatt Delhi Residences, are well-placed to address this post-pandemic shift in travel norms. Geared to providing a luxury experience for discerning travellers, Hyatt Delhi Residences include 124 well-appointed apartments, broken into categories of one bedroom, two or three-bedroom duplex apartments and four-bedroom townhouse offerings.
The Hyatt Hotels Corporation, based in Chicago, is a leading global hospitality company with 21premier brands to its name. With more than 950 hotels and several wellness resort properties in 67 countries across six continents, Hyatt is a brand to reckon with. What sets them apart from their competitors is their purpose-driven nature of caring for their employees, in turn allowing the enforcement of sound business decisions and a well-informed growth strategy. Their ability to attract and retain the best employees in their industry, aids them in building relationships with their guests and enhances their brand value in the market. The Hyatt umbrella contains several successful subsidiary brands including Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Alila and Andaz to name a few. Their ‘World of Hyatt’ loyalty program provides many benefits and exclusive experiences to its valued members, and is hailed as one of the most popular programs of this nature in the world.
The latest offering of the Hyatt brand in New Delhi—their luxury serviced apartments known as Hyatt Delhi Residences—are located at the Aerocity, making them ideally placed for visitors to travel to either the heart of the capital cityor Gurugram with ease. Those travelling for pleasure, may access the city’s cultural and recreational centres and buzzing shopping districts; and those on tight work schedulescan plan their meetings without hindrance.
For guests that prefer a homely touch to their travel experiences, the Hyatt Delhi Residences are fully-serviced, designed with elegant wooden flooring, practical kitchen and bathroom amenities, and spacious walk-in wardrobes. The well-thought-out design is geared to enhance the sensory and visual experience of the visitor. This is particularly evident from the views offered by the pool and lush green lawns from each apartment, from where spectacular sunrises and sunsets may be enjoyed at leisure.
One reason for the continued appeal of serviced apartments, is the ability to access one’s own kitchens where food can be cooked. A stay at Hyatt Delhi Residences certainly offers this, but also allows the option to order meals in. On request, the apartment can be stocked with groceries and other ingredients of the visitor’s choice, before arrival. Those disinclined to cook on vacation have the option of ordering in from the round-the-clock in-room dining services. Guests can also enjoy popular artisanal dishes from the famous restaurant AnnaMaya, the eclectic gin-based cocktails at the Juniper Bar and the best of Modern Cantonese Food at the Hongkong Club.
Hotel stays are still daunting for many, and home stays present limitations for those seeking luxury and comfort while travelling. This gap in the market is being filled by serviced apartments attached to renowned hospitality brands, as they offer many distinct advantages. Residents can avail of exclusive check-in services, as well as advanced safety precautions including the presence of fire safety equipment and smoke alarms, key card-only access, special video surveillance, detailed emergency guides and evacuation floor plans. Those looking to rejuvenate and unwind after a long day, can access round-the-clock fitness centres and swimming pools. The cherry on top are the valet and self-parking services, healthcare facilities and access to multilingual staff. All these factors throw a rosy light on luxury serviced apartments, particularly the newly-launched Hyatt Delhi Residences in the Aerocity, New Delhi.
