The house
Trident HotelsSymmetrical water-garden estate
Lek Bunnag's layout pairs low-rise colonnades with water courts, giving corporate stays in Gurgaon the scale of a private resort.
What it’s good at
Notable
Symmetrical reflection pools and domed pavilions conceived by architect Lek Mathar Bunnag.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Its design is a triumph of symmetry and order: deck chairs evenly spaced by the pool, trees planted uniformly under arched windows and gardens so meticulously manicured not a single blade of grass seems out of place.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
DLF Cyber City and Ambience Mall sit minutes away by car, just beyond Udyog Vihar's commercial district.
The rooms
Bedrooms frame wide vistas across the calm water courtyards, stepping well away from the corporate sprawl outside.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 25-meter freshwater lap pool is heated through the winter months and bordered by sandstone colonnades.
The spa
Ayurvedic therapies and Balinese massages take place across four private suites, with steam rooms behind arched doorways.
Bar
Lyrah
This open-air courtyard bar serves botanical cocktails infused with local herbs around a stone fountain lit by lanterns.
Restaurant
Cilantro
A 60-foot dome arches over the dining room, which turns out wood-fired pizzas, Mediterranean plates, and regional Indian specialties.
At the table
The Bar serves single malts and classic cocktails in a gilded lounge reached through the lobby's arched colonnades.
