Hotel Review: Park Hyatt Hyderabad, Telangana in India

By Jyoti Balani   |  

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.

PARK HYATT HYDERABAD spa
The hotel’s luxury spa offers a true respite from the rigors of the day-to-day

Park Hyatt Hyderabad offers a luxurious Spa and Fitness Centre for relaxing and unwinding after a hard day of work and meetings. The Spa that draws inspiration from the wellness practices of the Nizams, creates an exceptional experience for the mind, body and soul. Featuring five treatment rooms equipped with separate bath areas, the spa suites are spacious and luxurious. Where attars and instrumentals waft through the air, technology and tradition intertwine and new beauty intersects with ancient wisdom, a visit to The Spa turned out to be a delightful experience for me. I chose a spa journey that lasted for three hours and consisted of a scrub followed by a wrap followed by a massage and a facial and almost dozed off in the midst of the treatment as my therapist was really efficient. Stimulating creative power and creating space for meditative calm, The Spa at Park Hyatt Hyderabad offers a carefully calibrated spa program to purify, appease, reform and recompose, restoring mind-body balance with the splendour of herbal wellness preparations and the Nizam’s exquisite eye for beauty.

The visually appealing pool is temperature controlled and is carefully designed to give you the perfect sunlight and shade with four poolside cabanas and a pool deck expanding over 500-sqm giving it the look of an infinity pool.

Tre Forni is designed around three ovens, hence the name. With soft-hued colors of customized hand laid and articulately designed tiles that adorn the walls in a contemporary setting, this restaurant offers home style authentic Italian food. Wine aficionados are in for a treat here what with an impressive floor-to-ceiling wine cellar featuring more than 2,000 premium and regular collection of Italian wines.
