Stay At Le Meridian Mahabaleswar

Last year In November we planned to visit Mahabaleshwar, since it was my birthday on 30th and we didn"t had that many days to go for a long holiday. So we(me and my husband) planned to visit Mahabaleshwar to get away from city hustle bustle and spend some quality time, sort of a staycation.

While going through best place to stay, I came across Le Meridian Mahabaleshwar. So we finally decided for a staycation at Le Meridian. Bonus ! While you book from there direct site the hotel gives you a 10% discount and join membership ( that’s absolutely free).https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/pnqdm-le-meridien-mahabaleshwar-resort-and-spa/?scid=bb1a189a-fec3-4d19-a255-54ba596febe2

Talking about the place, Le Meridian is a luxurious 5-star hotel in Mahabaleswar which is 90 minutes away from the Pune Airport, Set amidst 27-acres of pristine evergreen forests in Western Ghats. This property is perfect for the ones who loves to experience nature along with a luxurious stay and brilliant hospitality.

Le Meridian has 4 types of room to choose from according to your preference- Classic Forest room, Tranquility Suite, Santuary Suite and Serenety suite. With each room you will find a private balcony with incredible views, deep soaking tubs.

For dining there are 4 options, Chingari, Latest Recipe,Plunge Bar (bar next to infinity pool), Longitude73.
You can get a spa at The Explore Spa. Also, it is nearby Mahabaleshwar's all famous attractions from Krishnabai Temple and Afzal Khan's Tomb to Arthur's Seat, Mapro Gardens, waterfalls and the market.

Coming onto my experience, the best part about it was the infinity pool facing the beautiful green valley which was very calming. You can just lay down on the chairs at the poolside, take a drink, enjoy the perfect view and the cool breeze. Our room had 1 King size bed along with a mini bar, bathtub and not to miss, the balcony which had a green forest view and a coffee table. In the Evening you just sit in the balcony with the beautiful view, relax and enjoy your coffee.

It was 6 pm in the evening,we went to the market had the famous strawberry with cream, some corn pakodas and roamed around. When we came back by 12AM and it was my birthday yay. I entered the room and there was the surprise planned waiting for me. The room was decorated with roses, balloons, and cake. It was just perfect.

 

 

 

Woke up the next morning to the beautiful weather, headed to breakfast where it had a wide options for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian guests.We tried  their south indian cuisine, poori bhaji, poha, coffee and some juices. They also had an entire cart filled with cornflakes, fruits and different types of cheese to select from. We were also given yummy eggless muffins and croissants. Nothing like good food to put you in a good mood!

 

 

Now it was time for my birthday dinner and we went to Chingari, we ordered Chingari Kebab Platter, Koh-e-awad, missi roti and Zafrani sakora phirni. The food was delicious, little bit on the pricier side, but since it is a 5 start hotel and when the food is so good, its worth it. Also, they provide a pan plate, on which you get all the ingredients to make pan by yourself. We enjoyed the new experience of making Pan by ourselves. :P

 

After dinner we went for a walk at lush green property, cool breeze and the dim lights made a perfect romantic atmosphere.

We had to leave next morning and I wasn’t too happy about checking out and leaving this beautiful place.

The hotel has an amazing hospitality team. While leaving, they gifted us a with a box of sweets and muffins as a thank you gift. Thank you Le Meridian, We had an absolutely lovely stay here and if you’re planning a trip to Mahabaleswar soon stay there!
