The Westin Resort & Spa, Himalayas

We booked this property for a corporate event for 2 days. We had the most pathetic experience, right from beginning it never felt we are in Westin. Banquet staff was rude and uncooperative specially Saurabh & Rahul. I would recommend not to plan any event in this property. Their responses are vague and despite having mail confirmation on some of the things they make you feel that they are doing a favor on us. Never seen such hospitality in my career. On the contrary, Shubham on front desk and Pankaj (Chef) we're very cooperative and did a fantastic job. All and all avoid any kind of event here (until they plan to change some of their banquet staff).

We went to rishikesh westin and we have a luxury experience there we had a great time. The staff was really nice and one person I would like to definitely mention, and that is Mr. Bishal, who is a lifeguard and a coach at the swimming pool area. He literally helped us a lot in, getting very fine pictures done and held us in swimming as well. Mr. Bishal helped us in having a look of the entire property. He showed us all the levels, restaurants, and finally with great pictures.

Westin Resort & Spa is a new hotel in this region and it was very apparent right from the time we set our foot in. We noticed the tastefully done interiors with a generous use of taupe paired with beige and cream. Very aesthetic and pleasant in all sections of the hotel. Infinity pool is to die for and for those who need warm waters tickling them there is a friendly temperature controlled jacuzzi right next to it. We found limited things to do in Rishikesh and it was quite crowded too, so we spent most of our time in the hotel. There are some nice options for local walks and treks if someone wants to explore. The rooms are very classy, the bathrooms a little European in styling (which some may find odd). Rooms have balconies with an open view which makes for a nice place to be in the mornings with your cup of tea. They organize high tea in the evenings on the eleventh floor with music and snacks. Food in this place is exceptional with well curated menus, artistically presented dishes, talented chefs producing world class dishes. We recommend dining at Toya for Sushi and Thai and one should not miss out the regional thali served at Akasa (you need to tell them a few hours in advance. This is super fresh) The people here make your experience go up several notches. We met Prem who was outstanding in his reception and given that he is from this region had a lot to tell us about it. At the Akasa restaurant, we were guided by ***si and Su*** at every meal with their warm, cheerful smiles. At Toya, Rita and Shija were always quick to recommend the right dishes and help customize our meals. On our last night, we were stunned by the quality of sushi that was on offer. Chef Pankaj can beat the best Japanese chefs. We strongly recommend trying sushi at Toya and especiallly the Thai sweet rice desert. Almost magical. But the sweetest part of that experience was chatting with Priyanka from our very own Amchi Mumbai. She and her team made that meal memorable. Some more notable names. Jyoti at the gym was super helpful and conducted a personal pilates session. Very rarely have I seen someone at the gym so enthusiastic and encouraging. Way to go girl !!! She also conducts the aqua zumba activities which is fun. And then Rohit at the travel desk who worked out a nice itinerary for us in Rishikesh and was constantly guiding us through all days. Chef Ankit at Akasa who made the best linguini we have ever tasted (was in Italy 2 months ago and nothing there came close). Will need to call out Executive Chef Ashish Kandwal who clearly has a big role to play in the quality of the food that is on offer. This *** has been to 10+ countries and the experience shows. The people here make this place and the young energy in the team makes all the difference. Please do visit. You will not be disappointed.
