Eat, Stay, Love

It’s the most elegant escape for couples this season and the experience begins right at the doorstep. One step into the lobby of the Sofitel Mumbai BKC speckled with Art Deco and Indian inspirations, and you are transported to the Paris of the ’20s, albeit with a modern twist. The fusion of inspirations is visible in the décor. Tables, chairs and carpets are all masterpieces of Art Deco, while the reception counter takes their design from Indian monuments and ethnic motifs. But what will surely catch your eye are the romantic silhouettes of the handmade crystal chandeliers, inspired by the beaded dresses of Parisian ladies who danced the Charleston in the 1920s. No wonder the place exudes fantasy. All you need to do for an indulgent experience is fill up a detailed questionnaire describing your tastes and preferences and leave the rest to Sofitel. Feast-worthy fare Gastronomy and wine are the mainstays of the Sofitel experience. High tea at Club Millésime on the fourteenth floor is an experience you shouldn’t miss. You enjoy a fabulous view of the Mumbai skyline as you nibble on scrumptious delicacies. With a dedicated chef at your service, savour unique personalised breakfasts and candle-lit dinners. And that’s not all. A spectacular five-course meal of your choice of cuisine is also part of the mix—take your pick from molecular, Italian, Spanish, French or Indian—served to the tune of your favourite music, even your ‘special’ song! Add liquor, designer chocolates, fine cognacs, exotic hors d’oeuvres, and you are in for an epicurean delight you can’t forget.

A TOUCH OF LUXURY When you book a romantic weekend at Sofitel, private check-in allows you to make the most of your time ensuite. Speaking of which, the elegant Imperial and Prestige suites are tastefully done and seeped in dreamy luxe. Waiting for you at your well-appointed and lavish Parisian suite, apart from the private butler, is a chilled bottle of champagne. Snuggle up on Sofitel’s specially-designed MyBedTM as you clink your glasses and sip the bubbly. Your beloved romantic movies are yours to watch at the click of a button. LOVE IS IN THE SPA Get away from it all, unwind in togetherness and rekindle romance at the So Spa. With more than 25 treatments, six treatment rooms, including an exclusive couple’s suite, the spa is a haven, especially for you and your significant other. The 90-minute signature couples’ treatment, ending with a session in the private Jacuzzi, is just what the love doctor prescribed!
