Luxury lifestyle brand Radisson Collection has debuted in India with the arrival of Radisson Collection Hotel & Spa, Riverfront Srinagar. Located on the banks of the dreamy River Jhelum the hotel is close to major tourist attractions such as Dal Lake, Mughal Gardens, Tulip Garden, Shalimar Garden, historical Lal Chowk and Downtown Srinagar. The largest hotel in the Jammu and Kashmir region, the 212-room property is an ode to Kashmiri culture. Local immersion starts with the décor of the property, which prominently features the iconic geometrical star patterned Kashmiri ‘jali’, a traditional lattice, and artwork depicting the process of embroidering Kashmiri shawls; and expands to the soothing sounds of the rabab (a stringed instrument), which plays live every morning.
Using age-old Kashmiri cooking techniques, the food at Firdaus is an insight into the area’s culinary heritage. At Sapphire Lounge, among the French pastries and coffee, guests can also sample Kashmiri Kahwa, Noon Tea, and a selection of Kashmiri breads. For a homely feeling nightcap, the Mehfil bar offers an intimate ambiance. The hotel can arrange tailor-made experiences to explore the city’s rich culture and heritage. Post exploration guests can unwind at the in-house L’Occitane Spa, designed with a blend of traditional and contemporary elements.
