Phoenix Group Global has launched this hotel as part of its global portfolio of luxury hotels with an investment of Rs200 crore. The eight-storied hotel has 166 rooms including two presidential suites and four junior suites. There are dining outlets as well.

The Ibis Executive Bar and Grille, located by the second floor poolside, has been well thought out to provide a one-stop place to relax, wine and dine.

Says Priti Chand, director PR and communication: “The concept behind this space was to have a place for our guests to chill out, have a swim, have a beer, pick up a barbeque and just enjoy the open space with a completely relaxed mind.”

At the center of this space is a temperature controlled pool designed to look like an infinity pool.

There are several types of of seating and lounging spaces designed around this pool. As the area is mostly outdoors or uncovered the furniture that has been used here is made from wood that has been especially treated for waterproofing and weather vagaries.

“In fact this furniture is specially created to withstand any kind of temperature,” explains Chand.

This space is exclusively for use of in-house guests but will soon allow members to use this space as well. The interesting part of this space is that it overlooks the Whitefield Lake and that makes for a stunning natural visual setting.
