Staycation at Signature Club Resort
Tuesday, December 26, 2017ruthdsouzap
As is generally the case, the last few months of the year tend to fly away and before you know it you are in a brand new year. This year has been especially fleeting for me considering the family in these last three months had to deal with a medical emergency that last over 1.5 months, several trips for this as well as for work, new projects, exams, school events, work events... you get the drift. We are at quite literally the end of the year and am now using the holiday break (at least am fooling myself that I am taking a break) into catching up on a backlog that I do not want to carry into 2018, especially when I have some lovely experiences to share with you all.
So, beginning with this lovely staycation now and hoping that I keep the momentum flowing and hit my target. So a while ago, we were invited by Signature Club Resort, a part of the Brigade Hospitality Group to spend a weekend with them. The focus of the visit was the cake mixing and gingerbread house making event that they had scheduled for that weekend evening. And we were invited to extend our visit to the property by staying over and taking in the hospitality of the resort. And that is just what we did.
Signature Club Resort is located past the Devanhalli International Airport, and takes an interior route just before you hit the major turn for Nandi Hills. GPS should get you there fine - we were offered transport by the club. The Signature Club Resort is located within the massive gated confines of Brigade Orchards. Once past those gates you travel through multiple crosses of premium villas under construction, or almost ready-to-move-in and arrive at the swanky looking entrance to the resort, complete with water curtains and glass facades.
The entryway to the resort
A pretty little greeting at the reception
As soon as we got to reception, we had our welcome kits ready - complete with a key card, WiFi access, a list of amenities and timings to services. We wasted no time in heading to the room assigned to us. What struck me about the approach to the rooms is that the corridors are much wider than you normally see in hospitality establishment. This gives you quite a bit of space between rooms and of course the privacy you need. Even if your neighbours are having a party of their own, you can have one too without a worry. Below is my walkthrough of the room we had for the night.
The beautiful tree view outside our room.
The property is quite aesthetically designed with a Mangalore tile roof, crisscrossing stairways and neat clean lines. Navigation across the property is quite simple, so if you have children like my Anoushka, who is just asserting her independence and wants to go the room or the pool or the play area on their own - they will get there easily and safely.
The property makes a lovely transition into the evening, with it being all lit up. There is fumigation that is done to help keep the mosquitoes at bay which make a natural appearance thanks to the many trees and foliage around.
Meals are served buffet style at Tamarind, the restaurant on the property. It also has a bar attached where you can choose to spend your time. You may also avail of room service for food and drink. The buffet spread is just right for when you are on a break of this sort - just enough to give you choice and varied enough to ensure that everyone has something to pick up. What I really liked was the fact that everything we had was tasty- no frills, simply good wholesome food. This is based on dinner and breakfast that we had at the property. Though the package did include lunch on Sunday, we had to leave earlier for a prior commitment.
The sprawling lawns I mentioned - now who wouldn't want to loll about on that. I definitely did!
Signature Club Resort makes for a nice break - not too far off from the city, yet far enough to give you that peace and tranquility that you look for in such breaks. So the next time you are planning a break, you just might want to consider this! You can find Signature Club Resort here
