As you traverse through the Mumbai-Pune Highway, at the Balewadi Junction (also called the Orchid Junction), the imposing structure of The Orchid Hotel, Pune catches your eye. Huge billboards of ‘SmILE Orchid’ greet you on the highway, making you wonder if The Orchid Hotel, Pune has changed its name.
As you enter the property and drive down towards the entrance, with verdant gardens on either side of the roadway leading to the portal of the five-star hotel, you are left breathless at the array of colourful flowers and any doubts that you had about the hotel’s eco tag can be easily dispelled.
As one traverse through the hotel while studying its décor, one finds that the name indeed suits the property! The Orchidaceae are a diverse and widespread family of flowering plants with colourful and fragrant blooms.
No wonder this calm and serene place, away from the hustle and bustle of the city life, has become a weekend gateway for Mumbaikars, and for people from Bengaluru, Pune and also people from around Pune!
Besides being an ideal weekend leisure destination, the hotel also comes across an ideal destination for business travellers due to its close proximity to Hinjewadi Tech Park and other IT and software hubs, in and around Pune.
From the spacious lobby you can step into the brightly lit, huge elevator which has a capacity to carry 100 passengers.
The hotel, which has become a milestone of luxury hospitality since the last 10 years, boasts of a high degree of courteous and friendly service.
