‘THE ME SPACE BLOOMS WHEN I TRAVEL’
As a frequent business traveller, what’s your checklist for a hotel?
The first is to stay in a smaller property with character. So, in the late 1990s [whenever I was in Delhi], I’d check into The Manor ) in Friends Colony; I’ve spent almost 100 nights there. Indian Accent had not happened there yet, and people would ask, “Where are you staying?” Finally, I had to say I’m living at a friend’s house! So, the first thing I look out are for hotels other than the [big] chains. Once in a while, you come It’s an indulgence I can afford. And I also look for a nice gym, especially if the weather isn’t favourable for running outside. For my upcoming trip to New York, I am checking out the Equinox Hotel (), because it’s different. Among the bigger chains, I like Andaz. The Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills () is one of my favourite hotels—stunningly beautiful and across 20 floors with clean rooms.
