Club Marriott at The St. Regis Mumbai

This is exactly what I had been waiting for. Club Marriott membership is finally valid at The St. Regis Mumbai.  

Even though I’ve been a member at various luxury hotels over the past few years, I had always wanted to be a member at The St. Regis Mumbai. The St. Regis Mumbai defines luxury in the city like no other. The 38 floor building is not only India’s tallest hotel building but also houses my favourite restaurant, Seven Kitchens. Perched on the top floor, the all-day dining venue, welcomes guests with captivating views and bright natural light that showcases an expansive buffet of celebrated international offerings and, on Sunday, a destination brunch.

Knowing my new Club Marriott member status and appreciation for Seven Kitchen, it wasn’t a surprise for my girl gang when I recommended the restaurant for our monthly catch up session. The membership entitles members to a certificate offering a 25% off on the Special Ladies Luncheon up to forty ladies on a table at Seven Kitchens. The luncheon was decked with a lavish spread of gourmet salads, cheeses, wood-fire pizzas, pasta, steamed dumplings, wok-fried noodles and more.

What’s really special about this particular membership is that it’s not just about dining, accommodation or lifestyle benefits; it also focuses on offering exquisite experiences to its guests.

The St. Regis is known for its iconic Afternoon Tea. Tea is something I’m extremely fond of, so I took the first opportunity I got to experience the service myself using the Club Marriott from The St. Regis Mumbai’s certificate offering a 30% off on The St. Regis Afternoon Tea. The experience let us indulge in exquisite creativity through the Art Tour and gave our taste buds a real sense of pleasure with a range of culinary snacks, desserts, a range of Indian teas and flavoured coffees. With an option to choose from over 10 brews, the tea service was quite impressive. I particularly liked the Darjeeling Secind Flush paired with  freshly baked raisin scones with homemade preserve and clotted cream.

Club Marriott’s latest offering in the city also gives its members guest list access to highest night club in Mumbai. Set on the 37^th floor, XXO lets one enjoy a panoramic view of South Mumbai & Arabian Sea with the city’s elite crowd till 3:00 am. Now I’m on the hunt for the perfect occasion to be celebrated with this one of a kind experience.

I can’t wait to experience all that this membership has to offer throughout the coming year including up to a 50% off at the restaurants, celebration cakes and wines, room night stays at the hotel, a room upgrade, access to the Athletic Club, a 15% off at the Iridium Spa and more.

Club Marriott’s got great news for members across the country. Members can now enjoy a 15% off across 9 food and beverage venues and a 10% off on the Best Available Rate on the base category of rooms at The St. Regis Mumbai.

CLUB ITC CULINAIRE IS AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY FOR BUSINESS ENTERTAINMENT

I’m a 40 year old professional working as a Partner with a Big Four accounting firm and I’m a huge advocate of networking through business entertainment. This is not just a business need but also a great way to build a relationship with clients or prospective clients.

With my fair share of experience in entertaining clients for business, I have slowly discovered that points-based loyalty cards are just perfect. One earns points each time you entertain someone just like you earn miles when you fly on business. Once I have enough points, I redeem them to take my family out for a meal at no cost or for a quick vacation paid for by my points.

The best part is the 6000 preloaded points that come with the card when buying or renewing the membership.

Off all the dining options available at ITC Hotels, their Indian food is my weakness, hence I’m a regular at Bukhara and Dum Pukht. I earlier had the ITC discount based membership and was very disappointed when they switched to the points program. Due to my love for the food, I got myself a Club ITC Culinaire membership anyway and discovered the wonderful benefits of the points-based programs. I earn points while dining and also when I stay at the ITC hotels during my travels across the country. You can’t even believe how quickly these points add up.

The best part is the 6000 preloaded points that come with the card when buying or renewing the membership. My wife and I go to celebrate by redeeming these points for a one night stay at ITC Maurya at no cost, virtually recovering my investment in the annual fee and the night stay is only the beginning of the point earning journey.

Let me tell you an incident, in particular, to explain how wonderful this membership is. Last year I spent about Rs. 80,000 on dining and entertainment and about Rs. 1 lakh on my stay bills for which I earned a total of 25,000 Green Points, 25% on dining (20,000 points) and 5,000 points on stay. I used these points for a 2-night getaway with my family to Agra at the wonderful ITC Mughal and 3 nights at ITC Rajputana, the charming ITC hotel in Jaipur, using up 5000 points per night.

Folks, there are some more benefits like special room rates, discounts on welcome break, birthday bonuses and more. It works all around. Go enroll and enjoy the point earning an opportunity.
