When I received an invite to the Park Hyatt Hyderabad which is the first urban Park Hyatt hotel in India, I was but naturally excited. My flight from Pune to Hyderabad was a late evening one and by the time I landed, it was well past ten in the night. I was received at the airport by the airport representative and informed that it’s a 45 minute drive from the airport to the hotel. The airport representative told me that I could place a call from the car to the duty manager and order for dinner in addition to informing them about my preferences, this was really impressive! I realized at that moment that the hotel’s philosophy of ‘luxury is personal’ starts right from the time a guest steps foot in the hotel’s car. With a vision to create an intimate hotel experience that celebrates fine art, delicious food and wine, and truly personalized service, Park Hyatt hotels around the world are enriched, sophisticated and uncommon, making one’s experience, a world of exception as I was to discover in the next two days of my stay.
