ITALIAN IDYLL
Within the past seven years ENIT—the Italian State Tourist Board—has established Italy as a solo destination, changing the perception of it being just one of the many destinations included in a European itinerary. Through innovative activities such as educational and familiarisation tours for tour operators, journalists and TV crews, seminars, workshops and abundant mention in travel and lifestyle print media, ENIT has showcased Italy to more than 5,000 Indian tour operators presenting opportunities for interaction between the Indian tourism fraternity and the Italian suppliers. Going a step further, they have also published The Little Book of Italy and a brochure cum coffee table book, in collaboration with Kuoni, titled Romancing the Peninsula giving a spectacular description of the many attractions of the country. Exclusive catalogues have also been published by prominent tour operators, such as Thomas Cook, Kesari, Kuoni Holidays and more.

SUNDAY FEASTS

But, if Italian is how you like it, head to Vetro, where you are taken on a gourmet tour of Italy, savouring the finest ingredients including foie gras and salmon and truffles complemented by fine Italian wine. Spend some quality time with your family at Tiffin, where the sparkling Sunday Brunches serve a variety of delectable treats. From a selection of freshly prepared eggs to sushi to oysters to a diverse selection of main courses and a vast spread of desserts, the meal is accompanied by unlimited sparkling wine, Grey Goose and beer. Sunday is no longer a mere holiday; it’s a day to pamper yourself.

CLASSIC COMFORTS
Embracing creativity and the art of living firmly at the centre of its philosophy, Le Meurice Hotel in Paris has chosen Philippe Starck and his team to restore its heritage to its rightful prominence, and in doing so create a new destination where people will be transported by gastronomy in a charming environment. Le Meurice is a calm magical place, infused with elegance, where 18th century architectural splendours and the most sophisticated modern comforts sit happily side by side. The new decoration of its public areas brings the hotel’s true dimensions to the fore, exalts its historic décor with subtle elegant touches and brings its full brilliance to light. Visionary master chef Yannick Alléno’s wish to create a plate that can be separated from its contour that can remain with you throughout the meal resulted in the Ondes© collection. This was not the first time the hotel was renovated, yet never before had such a transformation so creatively anchored it in a new millennium.
