Four Seasons Mexico City
I arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel Mexico City at midnight on my birthday, after long flights that had left me feeling jet-lagged and exhausted. But as soon as I stepped into the hotel, I felt a sense of calm wash over me.
The Four Seasons is located in a beautiful section of Mexico City, on Paseo de la Reforma, one of the city’s main boulevards. The hotel is an oasis of tranquility in the midst of the bustling city.
My room was compact but comfortable, with a king-size bed, a small balcony overlooking the courtyard, and a marble bathroom. The courtyard was beautifully landscaped with trees, flowers, and a fountain. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day of travel.
The next morning, I woke up early and headed down to Zanaya, the hotel’s restaurant. I had a delicious breakfast of eggs, fruit, and pastries, all of which were made with fresh, local ingredients.
After breakfast, I spent some time exploring the hotel. I loved the sitting rooms in the lobby, which were perfect for relaxing or meeting with friends.
The hotel offers a variety of dining options, including Zanaya, a fine-dining restaurant; Bellini, an Italian restaurant; and Fifty Mils, a cocktail bar.
The Four Seasons Hotel Mexico City is a great place to stay if you’re looking for a luxurious and relaxing experience in the heart of the city. The hotel’s location is perfect, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the rooms are comfortable and stylish. I highly recommend it!
Warner Brothers’ World – Abu Dhabi
If there’s a theme park… I must go and so off we went to Warner Bros World to spend a day of fun!
What first struck me was the magnificent panorama. Warner Bros World was fully air conditioned and was under a spherical panorama of the night sky!
The park is divided into 5 lands- Bedrock, Dynamic Gulch, Metropolis, Gotham city and Cartoon Junction!
Ofcourse I wanted to try all the Thrill Rides before it got too crowded and so off we went to the roller coasters. Fast and Furry-ous and the Batman Knight Flight were fabulous and fun! But my favourite was the Riddler Revolution which we did twice! The Scarecrow Scare ride made people rethink breakfast so that was a one and done ride for us!
Like they have in Disney, Warner Bros has interactive , lovely shows as well! Villains were fought, Batman appeared and our favourite characters sang songs, danced and made sure they got the children in the crowd involved and clapping !
We then met Scooby Doo on a fun interactive ride, helped Superman out and then tried to shop a bit!
This park takes about 4-6 hours to go through. It’s advisable to come at opening time as we did because then you have access to every land first. Finish one land and then move to the next.
This is an absolutely fabulous experience for kids and the kid in you! Definitely a day well spent!
W, Yas Island
Aditya and I have always enjoyed W Hotels. Whether it’s been Koi Samui or Barcelona, there’s something that relaxes you at a W. As you enter it’s almost a sigh of relief or a feeling equivalent into diving into a swimming pool. And so when the offsite was in Abu Dhabi it seemed like W was the obvious choice. The W hotel is a beautiful structure and the one and only hotel on top of the F1 racetrack.
As you enter the lobby the whiff of coffee from the coffee bar in the lobby accosts you. The vibe is fun and the music loud.
Once you’ve checked in and reached your room, you’ll realise the rooms with their gorgeous view of the track are large; the suites even larger. The W at Yas Island also has longer stay and residence rooms. These rooms are at the far end of the hotel; but here the suites are incredibly large. With huge drawing rooms, 1.5 bathrooms and a large living area; the Residences allow you to really live in the room. The wrap around balcony with the view of the track makes the rooms even more special.
The Bazaar is their main restaurant which boasts of food from across the world, so you’re never really short of options.
Did I think this was the most luxurious hotel… well no! The Six Senses and Kudadoo they are far superior… but definitely the best option at Yas Island.
Best times to Travel-:November to March else the heat is just searing!
