My wife and I visited The Lalit Grand Palace Srinagar, India from Jan. 18-23, 2025 to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. This was our 12th visit to the hotel in Srinagar. We are extremely fond of this specific property of The Lalit. Just to give a background, we've celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary, the 29th and now the 30th. Earlier, we had also celebrated the 50th wedding anniversary of my parents, and these are stories for another day. Coming back to our recent visit the entire staff was so courteous right from the moment we landed in Srinagar on the 18th. The in-house hotel chauffeur Irshad bhai, was an amazingly wonderful person and was with us during our stay ready to go wherever we wanted too. So understanding and patient and not to mention his driving skills. At no point of time did we feel unsafe or concerned for our safety. Well mannered and an appropriate trained chauffeur. The welcome reception was traditional and warming. Mr. Pintu, the Manager in- charge and his supporting staff were full of warmth. The traditional Kahwa is always a delight to sip upon this time of the year. The hospitality of the Food & Beverages department was out of the world and we were truly blessed to have been receiving such attention. Executive Chef, Mr. Sudarshan Sharma, the Manager in-Charge Mr. Amit Dwivedi, Mr. Shyam and the staff of whom I can recall a few names i.e., N.S. Negi Sahib, Wasim, Santosh, Aijaz, Dhanish, Safiya etc. Aryan, the young bartender was full of ideas and his new list of his own innovative cocktails were refreshing and the presentation itself was an eye candy. The taste of his unnamed Tamarind cocktail and the home-made Baileys was simply out of the world. With a little more encouragement this guy can make the bar rock around. The Spa was relaxing with the masseurs, Ms. Ishrat and Chandan doing a wonderful job & the Saloon services obtained from Ms. Ishrat were satisfying for My Lady. The sudden meeting with Mr. Vijay Handa (the Advisor-Hotel Operations), all set, waiting and eager to discuss with us on what more the hotel could work upon to enhance the tourist experience. Frankly, I’ve been probably the 12th time to The Lalit Grand Palace with my wife and it’s always been a wonder experience. However, we did discuss avenues of interest and was an amazing person to have taken so much of interest in us for the same. Since the morning of the anniversary the entire entourage of the staff wishing us all day through and the evening was full of surprises with a wonderfully baked delicious cake and a photo of us on a chocolate made photo frame. The attention to detail just made the entire celebrations memorable. And as if, that was not enough, the next morning we receive a beautiful paper mash photo frame with the staff during the in-room celebrations. Finally, as every tourist the day to return back home arrives and the farewell was so touching with the Front Desk and Mr. Pintu and Mr. Handa (the Advisor-Hotel Operati
