Hotel Review: The Westin Pune Koregaon Park, Pune in India

By Jyoti Balani   |  

I was invited to stay at The Westin Pune Koregaon Park which is located at the best locality in Pune and I had a super time while I was there! My terrace suite was spacious and stylishly designed; the best part was the expansive terrace where I would sit for hours in solitude and just do nothing. This is a great place to have a steaming cup of tea and gaze at the gorgeous sight of the sun rising up or setting down in the evenings.

The spacious hotel with vast open spaces houses 277 rooms in all including 189 Deluxe Guest Rooms, 73 Executive Club rooms and Club Suites.

An efficient kitchen team with an immensely talented pastry chef create unique culinary experiences for every guest who visits the hotel.
