Rooms: functional and classy
Housed within the complex of the Rajiv Gandhi International airport, this 305 room hotel is the ideal choice for business travellers on transit, conferences, weddings, weekend getaways and family travel. The rooms are contemporary, spacious and high on aesthetic and functional design. While there are rooms in the superior category, the rooms in the executive category offer you exclusive access to the Premier Lounge with complimentary refreshments, cocktails and beverages during the happy hour.
Apart from superior and executive rooms, there is the suite room if you want a taste of luxury. I had the opportunity to stay in the suite room that has a separate living area, common powder room and a large comfortable bedroom. The room had two bathrooms, a work table and a balcony with a beautiful view of the pool. The room is equipped with a minibar, wifi, satellite television and is serviced in the mornings and evenings. The tray of bespoke specially curated chocolates looked inviting as I entered the room and it was a perfect way for me to put my feet up and unwind from the grind.
Facilities Meant to Bring a Smile on Your Face
Who says you cannot mix business with pleasure? At Novotel, Hyderabad airport even business travellers can take a break by visiting the sports arena, gym or even the swimming pool. The state-of- the-art sports arena has a full fledged basket ball court, tennis court and a volley ball court.
I had a great time honing my swimming skills at the outdoor heated swimming pool. If you have had your share of outdoor activities, head to the 24 hour fitness centre to flex those tired muscles. I did indulge my mind and body at the luxurious spa where you can treat yourself to massages, sauna, reflexology and several other rejuvenating treatments. If you are traveling with children, there are safe play areas for them too.
