Heavenly Spa by Westin – The Westin Kolkata Rajarhat

February 17, 2020

After a tiring week, there is nothing better than a relaxing time at the spa right? Thanks to The Westin Kolkata Rajarhat and Heavenly Spa by Westin, I recently had a wonderful spacation at the hotel that left my mind and body truly relaxed and rejuvenated.

Heavenly Spa by Westin

Heavenly Spa by Westin is the in-house spa at The Westin Kolkata Rajarhat and they have a range of treatments combining traditional and global techniques. From massages to facials to hair and body treatments, the spa has everything that you need to pamper yourself with. Plus, they also have an in-house salon so all kinds of beauty services can be availed as well.

When you enter the spa, the first impression is “Wow, this looks really luxurious”. The space is big and spread out, is tastefully decorated and the minute you enter, a feeling of peace and calm sets in. I was welcomed by the Spa Manager who showed me around and explained to me about the different treatments. I decided to go in for their Signature Aromatherapy Massage for 90 mins along with a head massage for some extra “Aaram” . Heavenly Spa has a wonderful little ritual where they ask you to choose between three different stones which has Love, Hope and Gratitude written on them. The concept is that whatever stone you choose will be placed on a bowl under the massage bed so when you face down during the massage, that is the word you see. A lovely way of using a positive affirmation. The word I chose was Hope :).

Before starting off with the massage, I was advised to take a steam bath for about ten minutes because steaming before a massage helps to loosen the muscles and therefore the effect of the massage is better and long-lasting. After that, for an exclusive experience, I was taken to the couples room. This room also has a jacuzzi inside should anyone choose to use it. There is a bathroom, changing area and shower inside the room along with amenities like a robe, disposable underwear, comb, deo etc.

The Signature Aromatherapy Massage experience was pure bliss. Heavenly Spa uses products from Tatha, a brand that makes aromatherapy, skin care, hair care, and body care products with natural ingredients and they smell heavenly. I had asked the therapist to pay special attention to the back of my neck and shoulders and as she worked on me with her expert hands, I could just feel the tension going away. The sign of a good, relaxing massage is if you sleep mid-way through one and I did that. Just hope I did not snore too loudly!

I will highly recommend Heavenly Spa by Westin because they tick all the right boxes. They offer a luxurious experience that starts from the moment you enter, they have an extensive list of services on offer, the staff is experienced and well-trained, the spa is clean and hygienic and most importantly, for a 5-star hotel, their services are not exorbitantly priced. The treatments range from Rs 1500 – Rs 5000.

I had a wonderful time during my stay and I thank The Westin Kolkata Rajarhat and Heavenly Spa by Westin for having me over. For more information on the hotel, spa and any other details, visit their website.

Orient Electric Aero Series Range Review

September 12, 2018

In my previous post, I shared with you my experience of attending an event where I got to know more about the Orient Electric Aero Series range of fans. Today’s post is where I write in details about these fans and how they are such a game-changer in the premium ceiling fan market.

Orient Electric Aero Series Range

Today, Home décor is no longer just restricted to fancy furniture, paintings and accessories. Home décor now encompasses everything. It is all about a wholesome experience and that has extended to even our electric appliances and consumer durables.

Earlier, seldom did we pay heed to the aesthetics of our electric appliances but now, with changing consumer preferences and rising disposable incomes, the market has witnessed a significant increase in the demand for interior upgrades and this is also fuelling the demand for designer and premium fans. And that is where the Aero Series range of premium fans fit perfectly. These fans are aerodynamically designed; deliver high air delivery of 300 CMM, run silently and to top it all, they flaunt a beautiful design that is sure to add drama to your space.

Orient Electric AeroSeries Range

Orient Electric Aero Series Range – Aerostorm & Aerocool

When you look at a ceiling fan do you even think about what kind of technology can go behind creating it? Well, neither did I till I was told at the Orient Electric event that the new Aerostorm & Aerocool fans in the Aero Series range have actually been inspired by the ground breaking winglet technology used in creating modern aircrafts! The unique winglet design in its blades minimizes the vortex, delivering higher air thrust and minimal noise.

Orient Electric Aerostorm

Orient Electric Aerocool

Aerostorm & Aerocool Features:

These fans promise highest air delivery of 300 CMM
They have a sweep of 1320 mm and has 100% rust-free blade made of high-grade glass-filled compounded ABS which provides strength to the blades, thus making it bend-proof, rust-proof and easy to clean.
Inspired from aerofoil design of Aircraft wings and uses the winglet technology to further reduce the air cutting sound while giving an impressive air delivery of 300 CMM.
Sturdiest and heaviest 18-pole motor design for longer life.
Metalized UV deco ring, radiant PU paint finish and striking spiral curves which make them very good looking fans!

Orient Electric Aero Series Range – Aeroquiet

You know that irritating sound of the ceiling fan whirring by? Do you know what causes that? The main reason of fan noise is in fact the sound of air cutting which is produced when blades of a fan cut the air to create turbulence causing air to be pushed. Other factors that contribute to the fan noise including the size and quality of motor, design of blades, mounting hardware and the body material. Well, we can bid adieu to that sound because with the Aero Series range, Orient Electric has for the first time introduced a breakthrough in fans by addressing the important though latent need for silence. Orient Aeroquiet, the first fan launched under this series in 2017, makes 4dbs lesser noise than other fans which means that Aeroquiet reduces noise by 4000 times in comparison to normal fans.

Orient Electric Aeroquiet

Aeroquiet Features:

Advanced aerodynamic profiled blade design which ensures maximum air throw while reducing sound by reducing friction and turbulence.
Sturdiest 18-pole heavy motor with double ball bearing for smooth and silent operation.
Orient Aeroquiet runs at 310 RMP and has an impressive air delivery of 240 CMM which is highest in the segment.
The fluidic integrated design of Orient Aeroquiet makes it an innovatively beautiful choice for the fifth wall in your home.

Orient’s spectacular Aeroseries range of fans is a great combination of technical and visual sophistication. If you are looking for a change in your living space, then this range of ceiling fans has to be the perfect choice. Experience air like never before!

Orient Electric Makes An Impression With Its New Aero Series Range of Fans

September 1, 2018

You know that feeling when you learn something new about a product and then you look at it with a completely different perspective? That is what happened to me at an event held last week in Kolkata where Orient Electric showcased their new Aero Series range of fans. The humble fan has been around for generations but honestly speaking, we only tend to appreciate it when there is a power cut and we are roasting in the heat and humidity. Thankfully, Orient Electric does not think like us and has made it a motto to completely overhaul our thought process regarding the unassuming ceiling fan with the Orient Electric Aero Series range.

Orient Electric Aero Series

Orient Electric Aero Series Range

At the event and press conference, we got to see and experience the new range of Aero Series fans which looked like the perfect blend of style, functionality and modern technology. Atul Jain, Sr. Vice president and Business Head, Fans, Orient Electric spoke about the history of the brand and the fact that its journey actually started from Kolkata way back in the 1950’s. The first fans manufacturing plant of Orient was in Kolkata and the fact that now, every second fan that is exported out of India is an Orient fan.

Atul Jain talking about the range

Coming to the Aero series, the idea behind creating these fans was to connect with new-age customers who are looking for a lot more. Gone are the days when people used to buy consumer goods looking only at functionality and value for money. Nowadays, aesthetics play a very important role in determining consumer purchase habits and people are open to shelling out slightly more to ensure that the products align to their personal style and day-today needs. And with the Aero series, Orient Electric aims to do just that. These are a premium range of ceiling fans that focuses on high air delivery, silent operation and elegant aesthetics. Priced above Rs 4000, the fans are available in different styles and Mr Jain added that the range has been a phenomenal success and it has taken Orient Electric to the No. 1 position in the premium fans segment. He also added that the company is looking to increase market penetration in Eastern and North-Eastern India.

Orient Electric Aero Series Event

This was a very different launch event for me and one that I really enjoyed. Rarely do we get to know about what goes on behind the scenes and the thought-process behind creating a revolutionary product. I also got to experience how the Aero range of fans work and I was really impressed by the technology. For details on the Orient Electric Aero Series range and review, watch out for my next post.

My Weekend Stay At The Park Hotel, Hyderabad

March 25, 2018

Since late last year, Hyderabad has pretty much become my second home thanks to work. However, like all business trips, my stay would start on a Monday and get over on a Friday evening so I could never really see much of the city. It was just hotel to office and back to the hotel at night and the same old routine for five days. This month, I spent nearly 2.5 weeks in the city and got a chance to explore. And also, thanks to The Park Hotel, Hyderabad, I spent a weekend in their beautiful property and felt like royalty.

The Park’s Chronicles of the Deccan

The Park Hotel, Hyderabad

Location:

One of the best features of The Park Hotel, Hyderabad is undoubtedly the location. It overlooks the Hussain Sagar Lake so the view from the rooms is incredible. Hussain Sagar is one of the most popular sights in Hyderabad and I was told not to miss out on watching the sunrise and sunset by the lake. I did not have to venture outside at all for the view because all I had to do for those two days was to just walk up to the window and see the beauty unfolding right in front of my eyes.

Traveller’s Tip – If you are staying at The Park, definitely opt for the Lake View rooms.

Another reason why The Park Hotel, Hyderabad can be a perfect choice for a tourist visiting the city is again the location. Major tourist spots like Charminar, Salar Jung Museum, Chowmahallah Palace, the old city is all within a distance of 30-45 mins. Considering Hyderabad’s traffic scene, it definitely makes sense to stay somewhere near these places if you are a tourist.

Read on to know more about the property, the rooms and the dining options.
