ITC Sonar is one of the heritage hotels among the luxury collection hotels by ITC. I am particularly fond of the decor of this hotel, which depicts its namesake 'Sonar Bangla' or Bangladesh in its elements. The lake with lotus buds and colorful fishes, the wood-glass rooms with its vintage cushions and soothing melody playing makes it a perfect abode for a weekend getaway.
We stayed there for a weekend. We explored some of the restaurants:
Peshawari : The restaurant at the basement is famous for its pudina paratha, dal bukhara and kebabs.
Pan Asia : One of the best oriental cuisines in town along with a special teppanyaki section
Dumphukt : Good Awadhi food. I liked the paratha, galawti kebab and biriyani
Eden Pavilion : The buffet wing. I personally feel it used to have great service a few years back. However, the taste of food as well as the services have depreciated over time. The buffet desserts have been disappointing the last few times.
The spa - Kayakalp has great massage services which can be explored.
The general room rates are on the higher side, however there are various offers running at different time which can be opted for a great yet affordable experience.
