Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of Le Méridien Mahabaleshwar Resort & Spa in Western India. Marking the first Le Méridien resort in India, Le Méridien Mahabaleshwar is the brand’s 9th property in the country, located in the Western Ghats. The resort is a few hours’ drive from Mumbai and Pune. “Le Méridien and India share a passion for culture, the arts and cuisine,” said Brian Povinelli, Global Brand Leader, Le Méridien and Westin. “As our first Le Méridien resort in India, we look forward to inviting our creative and curious-minded travellers to unlock the destination through our locally-inspired programming, culinary creations and of course, relaxation.” Le Méridien Mahabaleshwar features 122 guestrooms and suites, all with private balconies and signature amenities. The signature Le Méridien Hub transforms the public space into a social gathering place as guests are greeted by a 24-hour curated soundtrack by French Bossa Nova band Nouvelle Vague, illy coffee prepared by master baristas, and cocktails inspired by Europe’s apéritif hour. For culinary experiences, guests can visit Latest Recipe, the interactive all-day dining restaurant; Chingari, the Indian specialty restaurant; the pool-side restaurant, Plunge Bar; or Longitude 73, a casual coffee house by day and a vibrant social scene in the evening. “We are pleased to unveil the spectacular Le Méridien Mahabaleshwar Resort & Spa, a highly anticipated addition to our India portfolio”, said Dilip Puri, Managing Director India and Regional Vice President South Asia, Starwood Hotels & Resorts. “With its culturally-refined design and atmosphere combined with stunning views, the resort is sure to impress and attract travellers for a refreshing break, and emerge as a leading resort in the country.” Other resort facilities include the Explore Spa by Le Méridien with 8 treatment rooms including a hammam bath treatment room and a vichy shower treatment room. The fitness centre along with both a lagoon style swimming pool and a rooftop infinity pool make for the ideal rejuvenating experience, while 250sqm of banqueting space includes a ballroom, 4 meeting rooms and a business centre. Additionally, Le Méridien Mahabaleshwar offers Le Méridien Family Kids Club and children up to the age of 12 will also receive a complimentary LEGO Welcome Amenity to enjoy during their stay and take home as a keepsake from their travels. The resort also offers a curated visit, courtesy of the brand’s UNLOCK ART programme, to the Devrai Art Village and the 5000-year-old Krishna Devi temple, using only the room’s key card for access.
