Claridges Highlight October - December 2010TRANSCRIPT
OCTOBER - DECEMBER 2010
Dear Guest,
The month of October heralds the beginning of festivals in India. With Durga puja and Diwali
round the corner, there is an air of festivity all around.
In keeping with the celebratory mood we at The Claridges have lined up a host of new
facilities and food promotions for you this quarter.
The Claridges, New Delhi now sports a fresh new look with refurbishment of guest rooms,
business centre and The Claridges Garden.
The Claridges, Surajkund has unveiled several new facilities for guests. The hugely popular
Dhaba, the signature North Indian restaurant is now open at The Claridges, Surajkund. The
Claridges Spa spread over 15,500 sq ft with 10 treatment rooms, spa suite, salon, state-of-
the-art gymnasium and international therapists promises an unparalleled experience. In the
subsequent pages we have listed a few rejuvenating weekend stay offers with spa
treatments, for you. Also, we have added an additional 137 guest rooms to our current
inventory of 150 rooms.
Our quaint little retreat in Mussoorie, The Claridges Nabha Residence is scheduled to go for
a complete refurbishment towards the end of the year.
On a recent team building trip to Bhutan with my senior executives, I happened to stay at the
beautiful Zhiwa Ling Hotel. We were pleasantly surprised by the architecture and the
facilities offered by the Hotel & the generous hospitality of the associates. In the subsequent
pages you will find more details on Zhiwa Ling in case you are planning a vacation to Bhutan
in the near future.
Before I end, I take this opportunity to thank you for your continued patronage. Thanks to
your support we have posted excellent financial result in the last quarter.
As always the team and I look forward to welcoming you back again and again. We wish you
a wonderful festive season ahead.
Warm regards,
Peter J. Leitgeb

VODKA AND CAVIAR
October
There is plenty of debate over what to drink with caviar. Purists believe that vodka,
not champagne is the drink of choice. "Vodka and caviar are the perfect
complements for each other," says Carolyn Panzer. Food connoisseurs agree that
the cool fresh taste of vodka cuts the salt of the caviar and cleanses the palate.
Enjoy this combination and decide for yourself. Sample Roberto Cavalli vodka with
caviar at Sevilla & Aura.
EXOTIC GRILLS

IN THE LAND OF THE THUNDER DRAGON - ZHIWA LING HOTEL
Highly recommended by The Claridges Hotels & Resorts during your next visit to Bhutan.
For millennia, the legendary Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan remained impenetrable. Today, only a fortunate few
get to discover a country with a national policy of happiness, whose culture and traditions are intact, and whose
landscape of mountain peaks, snow-fed rivers and alpine valleys has been preserved. Isolated, independent,
peaceful and impervious to the conflict and commotion beyond its borders, Bhutan has been shrouded in
mystery for millennia.

Built on ten acres in the historic Paro Valley, sits Zhiwa Ling, a wonder unto itself, offering travelers a rare glimpse
of a thousand-year-old culture with all the comforts and conveniences of the new era. Zhiwa Ling is a tribute to the
ornate architectural arts of the kingdom. Every piece of the hotel is handmade, the masterful stonework, the
wooden columns, the cornices and the beams, were hand-carved over three years by 60 talented artisans.
The 45-room Zhiwa Ling Hotel merges the sensibilities of a fine Bhutanese guesthouse with amenities of a grand
hotel and the best of 21st Century technology. Envisioned and created by a local Bhutanese company, the hotel’s
elaborate hand-carved wooden cornices and masterful stonework coexist beautifully with cutting-edge
telecommunication systems and Swedish under-floor heating. It is a world where the Meditation House and the
Tea House coexist in perfect harmony with the Business Center and the Mad Monk Bar.
