Hospitality Lexis / Print Edition November 2019

“The Postcard Hotel mirrors the Indian culture through design, ethos, service, and cuisine which facilitates guests with exceptional hospitality experience enriched with 5000 years old Indian culture”

Experience locals firsthand

The Postcard hotel offers luxury in spaces that are true to the destination, which is not only appreciated by international tourists but also by travellers within India. We go local and fresh with fruits, vegetables, and bread. As a broad example, we appreciate Jamun and Mangoes in the summers and oranges and strawberries in the winter. India has over a hundred varieties of bread, so we serve what’s available locally, prepared by locals and consumed as is done in that region’s household. Poee is been served at our hotels in Goa, or sannas. In the upcoming hotel on the beach close to Mangalore, Postcard will proudly also serve Mangalore buns. Our team works with local fishermen for the fresh catch of the day where our guests also have the option of joining them on a fishing trip. We feel travellers today have evolved to appreciate that. We even welcome our guests with cocktails made from the local spirit of Goa, Feni.

Holiday Specialist’s

We are a holiday brand, we want guests to relax and rejuvenate and not necessarily involve them in cultural activities. Through our design, ethos, service, cuisine, and elements used in the hotel, our guest’s sense, see and feel India but in Luxury. This is our way of educating them and involving them in the authenticity and culture of the specific part of India they visit- as a part of an interwoven fabric of the hospitality experience.

Bringing back the old days

When we were creating The Postcard narrative we wanted to bring back ‘the old way to holiday’. A pure, unadulterated, simple way for our guests to experience and connect. We also wanted to build and provide hotels that are authentic and sustainable. Our choices ensure what we bring with The Postcard Hotel in India showcase and promote Indian culture, tradition, aesthetics, and cuisine

Inspired by the Ancient Indian science of life

 ‘We have a tie-up with an Indian luxury brand for the exclusive and authentic toiletries.’ 

Spa at Postcard hotels in India is an authentic Ayurvedic wellness centre, inspired by this ancient Indian science of life. We have a resident vaidya who weaves in the ayurvedic beliefs and traditions and prepares individualized programs for each guest based on their personal needs.

Postcard Hotels provides local village walks and bicycle rides included wherein the guests interact with locals firsthand.
