A celebration of the Season

Partly, fuelled by the dilution of tourist arrivals, these superb deals bring in a fresh excitement to the visitors. The most talked about deal is the "Quarter Deal" where the dinner guests can walk with a deal for lunch in any of the three restaurants, writes Sanchita Regmi Joshy

Spread over eleven acres of space and surrounded by manicured gardens, with views of the
mountain ranges as well as newly emerged residential houses around, the Soaltee Crowne Plaza has a special offer to pass this chilly season’s hot festival.

The hotel has offered an economic but lavish scheme where a teen romantic couples, newly married spouses or even oldies can visit there with their children.

This superb deal has a target to attract the residents of Kathmandu, who are in fact tired of busy life and do’s and don’ts of the state of emergency, to experience the world class hospitality of this elegant hotel.

A host of promotions with a view towards familiarizing the locals with probably "once in a lifetime opportunity" to enjoy the treats.

Soaltee Crowne Plaza offers the largest dining options in Kathmandu and it offers almost every type cuisine in its five gourmet outlets: Oriental Cuisine in its newly opened China Garden, Italian favorites in the legendary Alfresco, the awe-inspiring Bukhara, and the multi cuisine coffee shop Garden Terrace offer new taste at every bite and every sip which could be hard to refuse.

Partly, fuelled by the dilution of tourist arrivals, these superb deals bring in a fresh excitement to the visitors. The most talked about deal is the "Quarter Deal" where the dinner guests can walk with a superb deal for lunch in any of the three restaurants.

"Enjoy a delectable dinner at any of our restaurants and earn a redemption coupon worth 25 percent of your total food bill value. And then redeem the coupon over a lavish lunch at Alfresco, Garden Terrace or China Garden by enjoying a cash discount equivalent to the amount on the redemption coupon" says an advertising officer in charge of this offer.

"This offer is on till 31st Jan 2002, however, one can redeem the cash coupons until 15th February 2002,"
adds he.

Further, the drinks and snacks served here are so homely that the guests even forget that they are in a five star hotel of the capital. Interestingly, there is hardly much garnishing in drinks and snacks, as if you have poured the drinks for yourself in the cozy corner of your own house and you have been served snacks by your dear ones. As you enter the hotel’s China Garden, you are truly taken aback by its richness, that takes you to the rich culture of China with ethnic decorations and paintings. To lunch in such a place with some one special must be the more unforgettable day in your life, and there is the scheme beside you. Pralhad Kunwar, head of the Food and Beverage Department says that offers like these will surely stimulate the locals and enjoy the facilities further more.

The Executive Chef Shankar, who looks more like an athlete than a professional chef, adds, "After I came to Nepal from Dubai, it has been my dream to show the culinary capabilities of Soaltee Crowne Plaza to the locals and I think promotions like these will definitely enhance the attractions of this hotel amongst the local clientele."

Having exclusive dinner at such a hotel and come back home in the cold night may mar the beauty of the taste. No worry, it has got a solution for you. At the same time, the hotel is also offering Dine and Stay options exclusively for the resident expatriates and Nepali citizens, where the diners can stay over at the hotel itself by paying extra of just Rs 2,500 nett per deluxe room. This offer also includes superb buffet breakfast for a couple till the next morning. The luxurious deluxe room is all for "you and yours" for the night. The home sweet home is sure to welcome you the next morning.
