Radisson Collection Hotel & Spa, Riverfront
Srinagar, the largest hotel in the Jammu and Kashmir region, offers 212
spacious and well-defined rooms across categories, including premium,
executive, suite, executive suite, and presidential suite. Corners of the hotel
take inspiration from Kashmir's authentic motifs and iconic geometrical star
patterned ‘jali’ - a traditional lattice or screen typically found in Kashmiri
architecture, renowned for its complex craftsmanship and decorative appeal.
These designs are complemented by artworks depicting the intricate embroidery
process of Kashmiri shawls and carpets. Every morning, the hotel’s grand
corridors come alive with the harmonious sounds of morning Rabab, which is
played live, inviting guests into a cultural immersion experience.
The hotel offers an exceptional culinary journey,
blending diverse cuisines within a fusion of contemporary and traditional
architecture. Firdaus, one of its two F&B outlets, presents Kashmiri
Wazwaan - a traditional multi-course meal known for its elaborate preparation,
and local specialties, prepared using age-old Kashmiri cooking techniques. The
traditionally adorned interiors evoke Kashmiri culture, seamlessly merging the
past with the present through regional culinary specialties.
Sapphire Lounge, a modern tea and coffee lounge,
offers French pastries, cakes, and a variety of teas in an elegant ambiance.
Guests can indulge in aromatic coffee and French delights while enjoying lush
green lawns. The lounge also serves Kashmiri Kahwa, Noon Tea, and a selection
of Kashmiri breads. Additionally, Mehfil, an elegant bar space, offers a
curated selection of premium spirits within a sophisticated setting highlighted
by transparent glass walls and colorful leather furniture, reminiscent of a
cozy residential living room.
The hotel also features Mumtaz, one of the
largest pillar-less banquet halls in the Kashmir valley spanning across an area
of 460m2. Its walls are donned with diverse Kashmiri art forms such as ‘Mehrab’
– a design usually adorned with intricate geometric patterns, calligraphy, and
sometimes floral motifs. Surrounded partially by majestic Chinar trees, and the
charming colonial architecture of Srinagar city, the Mumtaz Lawns provide an
idyllic backdrop, creating unforgettable moments for weddings and corporate
gatherings. For smaller meetings, Zewar makes for the perfect venue.
“We are thrilled to partner with Radisson Hotel
Group as we proudly unveil the first Radisson Collection in India - Radisson
Collection Hotel & Spa, Riverfront Srinagar, reaffirming our belief in the
Group. Our partnership reflects our unwavering commitment to providing
exceptional luxury experiences. Together, we intend to redefine the very
