Starwood Group's Le Meridien launched a new hotel at Gurgaon recently. When I found out that the Pullman Hotel will be rechristened to Le Meridien, I was excited. Great location, stunning green views, iKandy and nice staff combined with the Le Meridien brand would mean exciting new things.
This special blog feature is for one of my favourite sections at the museum : Palanquin Handles. From the Heritage Transport Museum earlier during the #DestinationUnlocked tour with Le Meridien Gurgaon.
Le Meridien Hotels are well known for their experimentation with Éclairs and this evening was for the launch of a new Eclair variety concocted by Johnny Luzzini. I can still close my eyes and almost make out a tiny whiff of the wonderful Darjeeling Express eclair!
As part of unlocking Gurgaon as a destination during the course of the Le Meridien Gurgaon launch, I got to visit the stunning Heritage Transport Museum< that is run by Mr. Thakral of Le Meridien New Delhi. The museum is at Taoro / Taoru in Haryana, about a 90 minute drive from Le Meridien Gurgaon. The museum houses an eclectic collection of cars, hand carts, palanquins, boats, a train compartment and even a bi-plane.

I do think about repeating clothes but clearly not enough to not repeat them.
As part of Le Meridien New Delhi's Destination Unlocked program, a tour of Old Delhi was followed by a visit to the Mittal Tea house - and some tea tasting, which was followed by a visit to the lovely Hauz Khas Village.
As part of Le Meridien New Delhi's Destination Unlocked program, a tour of Old Delhi included walking the lanes within lanes of Chandni Chowk, Khari Baoli, street food and lunch at Masterji Kee Haveli. Lots of flowers and spices led the way.
