Panchkula 17th
Jan:- A Panchkula based entrepreneur couple, Armaan Mann
and her husband Arzoo Dandyan have established tricity’s first European style
Boutique Hotel - 'District 5' which was formally unveiled at Sector 5, here.
Armaan & Arzoo who are
avid travellers have been taking the road less travelled to
explore countries in Europe particularly those having sub zero temperatures.
Armaan & Arzoo said that we made it a point to
stay at newly opened boutique hotels during our sojourns. We were inspired by
the Scandinavian region in North Europe due to the minimalistic & functional
approach of all aspects of hospitality in these. In a way our European travel
diaries, experiences and learning have been assimilated in our labour of love -'District
5'. Our objective to set up and run the place is to maintain core customer
values and the boutique hotel spirit in the truest sense.
As soon as you step into the hotel, you get a feel
of European design aspects. The reception, gardens - there is dining
option in the well appointed lawns, and chandeliers are a replica of a typical
European style boutique hotel. Scandinavian imprints can be seen all over the
place. One can breathe into the natural sunlight because of the use of
large-sized glass panes. Armaan who did a lot of study on colour psychology
before deciding on the colours to use for adorning the hotel's interiors, they
added that we have used soothing colours like whites and cool blues
which provide one with a calm environment and rejuvenates the soul. As is part
of Scandinavian culture, plants, mainly palms, have been placed inside the
hotel as these are natural air purifiers.
Speaking on the occasion Arzoo said that District 5
thrives on creativity, genuine hospitality and individual experiences. Our
vision was that design did not need to be sacrificed for value and that honest
pricing would drive loyal guests. We have blended thoughtful design and
intuitive service with excellent dining and nightlife in a space that boldly
brings together the past with the present.
Arzoo said that in 'District 5' we have
experimented with recipes of dishes that we enjoyed eating during our travels.
The media was also given a preview of District 5's
restaurant ‘Terra’. The interiors of 'Terra' stand out as the floor has
beautiful marble with inserts of natural wood providing the flooring a classy
finish. The dining tables are tiled, giving these a very different
look. The restaurant offers delightful and first time in tricity
culinary options.
The menu here is elaborate and is multi cuisine.
Vegetarian starters like Tandoori Stuffed Mushroom Tikka, Pineapple Tikka,
Homemade Nacho, Pulled Cheese Garlic Bread etc. are scrumptious. In vegetarian
main course the menu serves gastronomically delightful Pastas. The Mushroom
Risotto- which has wild and cultivated exotic mushrooms in a creamy
Italian rice dish is flavoursome; to cater to the winters there's Winter Vegetable
Medley; the all time favourite Thai Green/ Red Curry with Steamed Rice is
available in a new avatar.
For fitness enthusiasts, 'Terra' offers some fresh
handmade - healthy salads like Caesar Salad, Broccoli & Walnut
Salad, Glass Noodle Salad, Green Salad etc.
The Indian main course serves regular favourites.
Non-Vegetarian offerings include Chicken Steak, British Beer Battered Fish n
Chips, a must try pasta is the Homemade Chicken Lasagana. Some Pan Asian
