The Park Hotel

Mahatama Gandhi Road, City Center

:: INTRODUCTION ::

Unusual & distinctive design elements, attention to luxurious comfort, intimate touches & personalised services - this is what The Park brings to Bangalore. This pristine white four-storied structure with a cobbled driveway, located on MG Road in the heart of Bangalore's business district, belies the luxury and flamboyance of its interiors.

A stupendous fusion of vibrant colours and landscapes of Indian ethnicity and International eloquence makes The Park a unique 109-room experience. The first contemporary boutique hotel in India, it symbolises style, eloquence and grandeur.

The designs that adorn the hotel are the creation of Conran & Partners, UK. They echo the contemporary attitude of The Park Hotels all over India and showcase its global standards in luxury, comfort and hospitality. This specially designed environment promises travellers a truly 'urban retreat'.

Situated in the core of the hot, deep blue outdoor pool is Aquazone- a relaxing zone that is virtually embedded underwater. It offers a wide range of massage rooms, steam, sauna and changing rooms. The aqua theme is reflected in the light green blue walls and blue tiled floor.

The two treatment rooms are simply out of the world and provide the much-needed privacy to relax your muscles and tone up your body. The calm, serene feeling permeates into the wood floored gym where translucent azure glass provides a backdrop to state-of-the-art fitness equipments from LifeFitness and Cybex.

MONSOON

The 24-hour restaurant is suggestive of the all-encompassing season that influences the landscapes of India and its people. The midnight blue and sunset orange create a peaceful yet spirited ambience, echoing the song of the season. The chairs are of a woven Lloyd Loom type with comfortable seat pads. The 'sharing table' that draws you to the restaurant from the lobby area, is a melting pot, where strangers can meet and mingle. The slight thrust of this table into the lobby gives the first-time guest a hint of what lies beyond. Illumination accented by a scattering of brilliant orange lanterns is evocative of the setting sun. The menu is a select assortment of items from coastal cuisines of South India and South-East Asia. The emphasis on authentic cuisine, subtle flavours, healthy and quality ingredients, bestow upon connoisseurs of food an opportunity to indulge. The menu perfectly complements the calm, yet intriguing décor, creating a magical experience.

i-BAR

The lounge bar encapsulates the energy and dynamism of the wireless era. The unique techie feel of the space is sure to transport you to a different world altogether. Hot neon colours gleaming in the dark, create a funky mood. A cluster of soft beanbags and low furniture allow guests to relax regally. The space gives its own interpretation of technology through soft and rich textures. A wall of rich carpet woven in a pattern is suggestive of a circuit board. The local flavour of rich silk, that appears as a thread concept all through the hotel graphics, is seen here as a bundle of electrical wiring, which glows and vibrates in the bar graphics and the neon lights. In this age of Information Technology, the motherboard acts as the communicating platform. Thus, in the heart of India's Silicon Valley, the i-Bar catalyses people to interact freely and get to know each other better.

i-t.ALIA

i-t.ALIA offers authentic Italian cuisine in a setting that is casual yet elegant. The masculine dark timber floor complements the charcoal black upholstery and is accented by the warm lime green sofas in the niches along one wall. Crisp white linen draped tables showcase the robust flavours and vibrant colours of true Italian food. Imported prosciutto and Parmesan, wood-oven pizzas, exquisite seafood, delicate home made pastas and a wide range of delectable vegetarian items bring out the genuine flavours of Italy.

The Park invites you to rivet around the residential floors by lifts that luxuriate in rich black leather. As you step out of the lift, you are welcomed by a splash of colourful carpets that embrace the colour theme of each floor. The choice of fabric and tints reflect the theme of discovery within a natural environment. Each floor maintains a class of its own and is suggestive of the variety of experiences and cultures that are prevalent throughout India.

The first floor portrays a cool expanse of water signified by the use of the base colour 'aqua' along with dashes of 'orange' that is symbolic of the flamings of the Sun. The second floor uses a great deal of 'iris' and 'pale lime trees' to add to the scenic beauty of a breathtaking mountain landscape. The third floor again, is characterised by a 'Bright Lime' jungle that is reflected through the bountiful use of regal 'emperor red' flowers. The fourth floor - The Residence - is symbolic of an oasis in a desert with splashes of 'ultramarine blue' and shades of 'saffron' posing as the oasis and the desert respectively.

The benevolent use of silk, leather, pure wooden floors and glass create a unique atmosphere within the spacious rooms of The Residence. A plush luxurious mattress, framed in a four-poster bed, softens the furniture, which is presented in a linear modern style. The balconies of some rooms are ornamented with deck chairs that create a perfect holiday mood. The rooms have been designed keeping in mind the needs of the international traveller and assure them of a unique experience in hospitality.
