Frommer's Review
As is the case with most any airport hotel, the only reason to book here is as a transit passenger, and as such the Hyatt comes up trumps. You will be picked up from the airport (the transfer costs around Rs 1,000/$23/£12 -- ludicrous given the distance, but book it), and swept away for the 5-minute drive to the hotel. At press time the surrounds were little more than a depressing building site, but at night (which is when you arrive) you see none of this, arriving instead to a huge space with all the dramatic design-intensive joie de vivre of a modern art gallery. Stacked glass walls, mood lighting, floating ebony ceiling effects, and Italian marble are offset by marigolds in tailored cube bouquets -- and that's just the lobby. The sleek (and most important, silent) guest rooms deliver every comfort, with a judicious use of space, imaginative lighting, and smart fittings. One entire wall is a mirror, floors are Malaysian teakwood, desks are swivel-top slabs of glass, and the televisions are flatscreen. White-marble bathrooms offer a choice between large rain showers or separate step-down bathtubs -- a welcome treat after a long plane journey. Breakfasts are superb, and the Club Prana spa is a popular pre- and post-flight venue. Stax, the in-house Italian restaurant, is the classiest dining option, good enough to attract locals who live in the vicinity of the airport for a fine dining evening. All in all the Hyatt offers a slickly professional experience for the transit passenger, and if you can get a room at a particularly low rate (these change daily, so call or check out the online rates), look no further.
