When the flagship hotel of Sofitel Luxury Hotels India stamped its signature mark in the BKC district of Mumbai, one wondered how it would distinguish itself from the already established herd of five star hotels in the city; but Sofitel did not fail to impress.
The deluxe hotel offers a lavish spread of six eateries and bars, including the round-the-clock Pondichéry Café; Artisan, Épicerie, Pâtisserie, Chocolaterie the Le Bar Diamantaire.
Our personal favourite at the hotel was the Imperial Suite. Generously spread over 1700 square feet of space, the spacious suite exudes luxury from your first step in.
The luxurious two bedroom suite entails a spacious living and dining room. The marble-clad bathrooms adjoining each bedroom comprise of designer toiletries and the en-suite office features state-of-the-art technology. Throw in an additional guest bathroom and a kitchenette, and voila – you have a lavish apartment at your service.
Interiors of the suite are a unique blend between French and Indian nuances with a series of artworks splashed across the walls. The theme of the two cultures carries forth into the rooms with Indian motifs outlining curtains, windows and lining the ceiling.
Works of Anoop Kamat and Manil Gupta have been intricately incorporated into the theme of the magnificent suite, while the use of royal purple adds an additional touch of luxury. The sophisticated yet comfortable furniture forays shades of red and mauve.
