When we went to Pune, we stayed at The Westin Pune Koregaon Park. The decision was made for us because we went to Pune to accompany my husband’s business. We had a suite instead of two adjoining rooms because the suite was slightly less than paying for two rooms for us and it was more fun for the kids. Our girls slept on the L shape couch which was big enough for them, but we also had an option to order an additional bed at no cost. We also requested to have a baby cot which was provided with no cost as well. The room was so spacious that it felt like we had an apartment!
In terms of The Westin’s location, it was great, too. All the restaurants recommended by my friend were very close from The Westin. The Jogger’s Park we went was a 5-minute drive from The Westin. It felt very central and convenient. The Westin Hotel stands on the bank overlooking Mula-Mutha River and the view and the sunset from the hotel was marvelous! I took a photo with my iPod Touch, which didn’t do justice to its real beauty, but I posted it below.
Yes, when I am taking photos, my son usually goes crazy.
When we are home, I often get questions these over and over. “Can I have a play date with so and so?” “Who are we having dinner with?” “Who are we going to see?” During our get away trip in Pune, it felt like a luxury to spend a quality time with my kids. It was a guilt-free lazy weekend which I came to realize is the best relaxation I can ever ask.
BREAKFAST
The Westin provided us with a wonderful retreat. I find the customer service quite good and friendly as well. The staff was especially kind to my kids and that was very nice. I find Indians in general love children and are friendly.
I also heard from other mom friends that they recommended Hyatt Regency Pune and JW Marriott Hotel Pune. Hyatt Regency has an indoor swimming pool which is nice for its cool weather. Hyatt Regency has corporate apartments and for the residences, they offer a play ground. I don’t know if they offer the hotel guests to use the play ground, but if they do, that would be a huge bonus for the families with little kids.
Photos by VSCO Cam on iPod Touch
I love how handy it is to take photos on iPod Touch. I highly recommend VSCO Cam app which takes great photos and has beautiful filters and great photo editing tools!
Here are Waterlogue pictures I created with a Waterlogue app on my iPod Touch. It’s incredible how app can draw water paint pictures!
