In the lap of luxury

Wed, May 14 12:45 AM

When you are greeted by a warm Namaskar instead of a cold and impersonal 'Good Morning' as you enter, you know at the outset that your experience at Jaypee Residency Manor is going to be different and special. This premium hotel, situated amidst breathtakingly beautiful locales in Mussourie, is all that a tourist could ask for if the purpose of the visit is to relax in the lap of luxury.

Spaces galore The first thing that strikes you when you enter your room is its size. Spaciousness is the biggest strength of the property as the management doesn't seem to have compromised on the room sizes for anything.

"Our intention is to give our patrons a comfortable experience. We would not even think of making our rooms smaller like matchstick boxes just in order to lend more space to other areas," says Subrata Banerjee, general manager.

The hotel currently has 90 rooms. Each executive room has a terrace balcony giving a glorious view of the valley far ahead.

Foodies' delight Who wants to diet when they're out on a vacation! And to satisfy those lusty taste buds, the hotel has a sumptuous palette put together by chef Anurag Mathur and his team, served in the multi-cuisine restaurant Regency and Captain Young's Caf and #233;. For those who wish to just snuggle in the rooms and order in, there's in-room dining too, though the limited menu options can leave a lot to be desired.

The restaurants are such a hit that they not only cater to the live-in guests but also cater to guests of other hotels as well as local residents. Stress Busting Jaypee Hotel is slightly away from the city and its hustle bustle (it's a good thing actually!); hence, the hotel is equipped with everything that may be required by their guests to unwind.

Right from the heated indoor swimming pool to the tennis and squash courts, a leisure mall complete with a bowling alley and a beautifully-decorated kiddy's room, the hotel has it all when it comes to recreational facilities. Some of the activities like bowling, video games etc are not free to in-house guests, something to lament about! Nonetheless, if the activities on offer don't relax you, check out the swanky spa Sansha, which prides itself on providing some of the best Ayurvedic massages.

Jaypee Residency has everything when it comes to amenities and facilities for guests. But what's totally exclusive to the hotel is the staff, which is exemplary when it comes to providing warm and caring hospitality.

As Anil Sharma, resident manager, so aptly puts it, "I joined this group 26 years ago and just stuck on. You can never find work satisfaction equal to this.

" Yes, we agree and it shows. So, if God's been kind on your pocket and you can afford the experience, simply go to Jaypee and enjoy the nine acres of paradise.
