Vivanta by Taj Guwahati My hotel of choice

Vivanta by Taj - Guwahati, Assam is a beautiful five star luxurious hotel that offers seven wonders in one cool spot. A complete package of architecture, food, culture, folklore, music, art and adventure experiences. Located on the
Guwahati-Shillong highway in the centre of Guwahati’s government, business and cultural areas. Almost five acres
of manicured greens, interspersed with betel nut trees, water bodies and local flora surround this stylish
structure. The lobby is a unique mix of chic and classic. One cannot miss the cupola inspired by the legendary
Kamakhya temple, which adds a spiritual vibe.


I was attracted to the signature bamboo cane interweave abstraction, the Gamocha pattern, the Xingkhap murals in the rooms, the 1008 sacred bells in the lobby that cascade down dramatically against a stunning backdrop. The marigold motifs that greet you all around.

They have the best wellness amenities. A large spa reception lounge. 1 Couple treatment suite & 2 Single treatment rooms. A large fitness zone. Wet and dry areas. Experience shower. Beauty zone for face, hand, feet and hair. I even found a dedicated manicure and pedicure zone.

Each room features ergonomically designed mobile work desks with task lighting specially designed work chairs.

- SEVEN
It presents the best of regional cuisine across the states of Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram,

Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh. Executive Chef Anirban and his team of inventive chefs have explored cooking

styles, which range from home kitchens. Dig in to an enviable range of fish preparations due to the close

proximity to fresh water rivers and the Bay of Bengal. Don’t be surprised to see live fish in the kitchen and be

invited on occasions to make your pick.  It’s rice at its best in many avatars – roasted, ground, puffed, boiled,

pan caked, sticky soft rice dunked in milk, jaggery and curd. There is so much to explore here that guests make it

a habit to come back again and again.

- OCTAVE
eclectic bar with playful décor and sensual music for foot tapping or chilling. This lounge bar with high energy

zones and an alfresco space offers an amazing range of signature cocktails in an unparalleled ambience, perfectly

balanced by a blend of live retro and the latest house music. Must try cocktails include: Red Hot Caprioska

Peppers (RHCP) which is a twist with the fiery Bhut Jholakia chillie and the queen of citrus fruit – Kajinimu.

Long Assamese Ice Tea is another house favourite. The winner however is The Choconutty Martini which combines

muddled peanuts, Hazelnut syrup, Chocolate and Bourbon. Sip these while you admire the inverted decanter lamp

shades which line the bar counter, and soak in the mood created by hanging strings of miniature brass bells.

km away. The Vivanta by Taj - Guwahati guarantees guests a pleasant stay whether in Guwahati for business or
