THE PARK , HYDERABAD

The grand seven star hotel is a teal coloured plush contemporary building that embraces you with just a glimpse. This venture by the Surrendra Park Hotels which pioneered the boutique hotel concept in India has an eclectic design that fuses both Nizami style and international class in its interiors. The motifs on the walls and ceiling are symbolic of the Nizam chokers, pearls and necklaces.

Another striking feature of the architecture is the pillar- less halls or lobbies. If you want to arrange a kitty party then the Ruby lounge is an ideal place where cozy couches are lined up under a ceiling carrying Kalamkari with local Andhra rural craftwork adorning the tables. The Sicca bar is a nice cozy corner replete with warm hues and the theme of the place is ? you guessed it ? currency. The hotel incorporates 270 guest rooms on the five floors.

PORTFOLIO , HYDERABAD

If you are a groom-to-be then Portfolio is just the place to shop at. The range of designer sherwanis is varied in its look and texture. From a heavily embroidered angrakha-style sherwani with Swarovski and zari mbellishments to a classic tissue creation with just strands of pearl at the neck and wrists- the choice is plenty. Many of them boast an intricate velvet patchwork and brocades on their surface.

There's also a nice glam collection of dupattas to match up with the sherwanis. This apart, the ground floor of the store stocks formals like shirts and trousers from Carven. The ties are just as impressive as they don?t go over-the-edge but remain fashionable and smart. Road No 4, Banjara Hills Hyderabad 500034
