Indore Marriott: Awesome Stay In Club Junior Suite

Set up by Holkar Dynasty, Indore was at one time the Maratha royal house of India. Situated on the Malwa plateau, Indore is a city that will astound you with its assortment of cultural flavours. More so, on the off chance, you are staying at Indore Marriott, a hotel that is a destination within a destination. I spent a weekend here, and what a lavish welcome it was into the 16th-century city of the Holkars.

Indore Marriott takes the elite experience a bit higher, by setting the welcome up with a Swarna Darwaza crafted in 22-karat gold. Flaunting peacock designs on either side, this door is, one ornamented welcome worth remembering! It’s a design that recalls India’s unfathomable sovereignty and power. Past the magnificent doors of Indore Marriott is a luxurious world of incredible services. I was here on the invite of Indore Marriott to review their junior suite.

The welcome followed through a traditional ceremonial greeting, where staff brings a Tika Thali to mark a Tilak on your forehead, place a flower garland around your neck and offer you a refreshing welcome drink. The front desk was prompt to process my check-in, and I soon received the digital room key. Indore Marriott has a grand lobby beautified with contemporary furnishings. When facing the reception, your left will take you to the rooms, and your right to an all-day dining restaurant and bar.

One of the staff members showed me to club junior suite 1101 on the first floor. The porter service followed me into the lift and then to my room. This spacious 549 sqft suite does not have separate seating, yet, it’s adequate for two.

Club Junior Suite 1101

1101 club junior suite, on the first floor, faces the garden and the pool which, makes it a preferred pick of many travellers. Draw the curtains to draw natural sunlight during the day while at night, close them to get a blinding impression.

On the inside, the suite is well-fitted with luxe furnishings and amenities. Be it, king-size bed with plush bedding, 49″ LED TV, walk-in closet, designated work desk, mini-bar or an en-suite washroom with twin basins.

On the work desk, I found a customised plate of hors-d’oeuvres and dwarfy desserts. A sweet surprise indeed! Apart from in-room amenities, staying at the Club Junior Suite also entitles you to the M Club Lounge and the Honor bar. And complimentary ironing service to meet those last-minute meeting hassles! For a business traveller, this suite makes a great stay option. I, in particular, appreciate the thoughtful teak furnishings, controllable mood lighting and the room fragrance originating from fresh orchids.

Did I mention free hi-speed WiFi? For those dealing with a large amount of data, Indore Marriott has a premium plan that costs INR 900 or $15 per day. The ensuite washroom lacks a bathtub but contains twin basins, an amenity box, a hairdryer and premium Inara toiletries.

Dinner at Indore Kitchen

Later that evening, I was invited for dinner at Indore Kitchen, the all-day dining restaurant of Indore Marriott. Here I got the opportunity to meet Executive Chef Vivek Kalia and the marketing manager, Anuja Agarwal. I have captured the elaborate dining experience in a separate article that may read here: Dine and Wine at Indore Kitchen

Indore Marriott: Breakfast in Bed 

Who doesn’t love breakfast in bed? The next morning, Indore Marriott woke me up to a lavish breakfast that featured my favourite egg benedict, croissants, strawberry pancakes, fresh fruits and a cup of hot cappuccino. Take a look! Be it protein or fibre-rich, Indore Marriott has a vast menu that they can customise for you as per your liking. After ordering and before eating breakfast, I took a quick trip to the gym to check out their fitness facilities.

I also spent time in the pool later that afternoon. The rooftop pool under the open skies is the ultimate relaxer. For an airport, a butler service, or chores like a last-minute print-out – ping the 24*7 concierge, and they will have it all fixed.

Brunch at Indore Kitchen

Every Sunday, Indore Marriott hosts FBrunch – a fun and frolic culinary affair at Indore Kitchen to showcase their food skills to the locals. As Sunday Brunch is attended, by many localities, Indore Marriott makes it more entertaining by including, live music and food counters. The food varies from a selection of cheeses to a lavish buffet of local and international specialities. I have covered my brunch experience in a separate article that you can read here: Revel In FBrunch at Indore Marriott
