Indore's Hidden Gem: FabHotel Grand Giriraj - Unbelievable Luxury!
Okay, buckle up, because this isn't your average hotel review. We're diving deep into the FabHotel Grand Giriraj, a place that promises "Unbelievable Luxury" in the heart of Indore. And trust me, after my stay? Well, "unbelievable" isn't entirely inaccurate. Let's get messy, shall we?
Indore's Hidden Gem: FabHotel Grand Giriraj - Unbelievable Luxury! (And a Few Quirks!)
Right from the start, the Grand Giriraj tries to impress, and it does, mostly. The first thing you notice? The cleanliness. Seriously, they are obsessed with it. They've got all the bells and whistles for safety – anti-viral cleaning, professional-grade sanitizing, every staff member seems to be carrying a bottle of hand sanitizer. You feel safe, which is a HUGE win, especially in these times. The room? Spotless. The hallways? Sparkling. The whole place just practically gleams.
Accessibility – A Mixed Bag
Now, about accessibility. This is where we get a little… nuanced. They claim to have facilities for disabled guests, and they do have an elevator, which is crucial. But I wouldn’t say it's perfectly accessible. I didn't need those facilities so I did not experience them but I did notice some potential sticking points for guests with mobility issues. It’s best to call ahead and specifically inquire about the specifics if accessibility is a major concern.
Getting Around - Free Carpark Goodness!
Getting to the hotel? Easy. Free parking! On-site! That's a godsend in a city like Indore. They also offer airport transfers, which, honestly, I'd recommend. Stress-free arrival is always a plus.
The Rooms: Swanky and Sleek (Mostly)
Okay, the rooms. My room, let's call it a "Deluxe Something-or-Other," was… wow. The air conditioning? Blissfully cold. Blackout curtains? Essential for sleeping in after a long day of sightseeing. Free Wi-Fi? Check. (This is so important!) Free bottled water? Double check! They even have a little desk setup, perfect for catching up on emails (or, you know, online shopping). I’m talking about an actual desk, not just some flimsy table. The bed? HUGE and comfy. The bathroom? Modern, clean, with all the necessary toiletries. (Slippers! Always a nice touch.) The only minor gripe? The soundproofing wasn’t perfect. I occasionally heard the distant rumble of city life, but hey, it's a city, right? I mean, the traffic did not bother me at all.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food, Glorious Food!
WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN?! The food at the Grand Giriraj is… surprisingly good. They have multiple restaurants, a bar, a coffee shop, and even a poolside bar! (More on that later). Breakfast is a MUST. We're talking a buffet of epic proportions (Asian and Western options). I'm not a huge buffet person, but I went back three times for the utterly delicious masala dosas. Seriously, they were AMAZING. They also have room service 24/7, and that’s what I really appreciate. The coffee shop is a great place to refuel or catch up with your colleague or friend for a business meeting. The A la carte in the restaurant is a pretty decent options and if you are a vegetarian like me then the Vegetarian restaurant is a must go! The only thing is a lack of variety, even more options would have helped a lot!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Poolside Paradise (Maybe?)
Okay, the swimming pool. This is where things get VERY interesting. It's an outdoor pool, with a view. (A slightly blurry, urban view, admittedly). But the pool itself? Refreshing. Clean. Surprisingly not crowded. I spent a glorious afternoon with a book in hand, sipping a cocktail from – you guessed it – the poolside bar. (Strongly recommend!). They also have a fitness center/gym, a sauna, and a spa (with massages!). I didn’t try the spa, but the gym looked decent. The steamroom is also a very nice option as well.
Services and Conveniences: They Thought of Everything (Almost)
The Grand Giriraj offers a ton of services. Daily housekeeping? Of course. Laundry service? You bet. Dry cleaning? Yep. Concierge? They're there for you. Luggage storage? Check. They even have a gift shop for last-minute souvenirs. They’ve got a business center with meetings facilities and everything a business traveler could need. The staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly. This is what I have been talking about, the staffs are friendly and helpful! The Staff are well trained in safety protocols. And the facilities for disabled guests are well suited and planned.
For the Kids: Babysitting? Sure!
They are definitely family-friendly. They offer babysitting services, and kids' meals.
The Quirks: The Devil's in the Details
Look, no hotel is perfect. Here’s where it gets a little… human. The WiFi, while free, sometimes dropped out. The soundproofing wasn’t perfect. And, let's be honest, the "view" from the pool wasn't exactly postcard worthy.
BUT…And a Compelling Persuasive Offer!
Overall: Is it “Unbelievable Luxury”?
FabHotel Grand Giriraj is close. It's a very, very good hotel. Clean, comfortable, with excellent food and a surprisingly relaxing pool. And the staff? Top-notch. It's a good base for exploring Indore. Does it deliver "unbelievable" luxury? Sometimes. But even the minor imperfections add to the character. It's like the slightly crooked smile of a beautiful person – makes it all the more charming.
My Verdict: Go. But go knowing that it's not perfectly flawless, which is actually… kind of refreshing.

Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Haiyang Shenglong Jianguo Hotel, Yantai
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's itinerary. This is travel, unfiltered. We're talking FabHotel Grand Giriraj Indore, India. I booked it, I'm winging it, and frankly, I’m scared but mostly excited.
The "Plan" (More Like, Suggestions That Might Happen):
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Chapati Quest
Morning (7:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Arrive Indore. Jet lag? You betcha. My flight was delayed (shocking, I know), and I stumbled out of the airport looking like a crumpled paper bag. Found a pre-paid taxi (thank the travel gods) to FabHotel Grand Giriraj. The driver spoke zero English, but we bonded over a shared love of honking. The hotel… well, it's clean enough? Let's go with that. The AC is blasting though, which is probably a blessing. First impression: promising, but I'm reserving judgment until I've seen the bathroom.
Lunch (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM): The Grand Chapati Quest Begins! I've heard Indore has some incredible street food. I'm on a personal mission for chapati perfection. Armed with a phrasebook (that's already falling apart) and a healthy dose of optimism, I'm venturing out for the first meal. Wish me luck. I'm hoping I don't accidentally order a plate of fried scorpions. I'm really not a fan of fried scorpions.
Afternoon (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Hotel "Chill" and the Battle of Laundry. Okay, the bathroom is… functional. That's all I'll say. But the bed is comfortable, and the internet actually works. Jackpot. I am going to attempt to unpack, and then I need to find someone who can handle laundry. I'm wearing the same t-shirt for the last 24 hours and I think the fabric may be starting to biodegrade, so this is a high priority!
Evening (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Dinner and the Search for the Perfect Chai. I want something that won't destroy my stomach. Tonight, I'm going for a proper Indian restaurant, maybe a place with a rooftop view. I'm picturing a gorgeous scene, me sipping perfectly spiced chai as the sun sets. Reality check: I’ll probably end up lost, slightly sweaty, and desperately searching for a toilet. Still, the chai is the important part.
Day 2: Palaces, Puzzles, and Palak Paneer (fingers crossed)
Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Sightseeing! Okay, I'm going to try to see some of Indore's famous buildings and sites. I'm talking Rajwada Palace, Lal Bagh Palace, the whole shebang. I am hoping the guidebooks are right because I am hoping for the most amazing time!
Lunch (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM): Palak Paneer Dreams. I'm obsessed with palak paneer. Obsessed. I'm dedicating this meal to finding the ultimate version. Soft paneer, creamy sauce, the perfect blend of spices. If anyone knows a place, please TELL ME!
Afternoon (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Shopping (Maybe). I hate shopping, but I want to see the local markets. I'm hoping to get a scarf. My luggage situation is getting dire, so maybe a shopping excursion is for the best.
Evening (5:00 PM - 9:00 PM): I'll attempt to order room service or go to a new restaurant. I am going to be very bad at this. I will be lost and stressed at many points throughout the day.
Day 3: Departure (and maybe second thoughts?)
Morning (8:00 AM - 10:00 AM): Last Breakfast in Indore and the final Chapati evaluation. Did I find the perfect chapati? Was it all a wild goose chase?
Late Morning (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Pack up, check out, and head to the airport. I will go back home, and probably immediately start planning another trip!
The Messy Bits (Because Let's be Real):
Transportation: I’m terrible with public transport. I’ll probably rely on taxis and auto-rickshaws (hoping I don't get ripped off too badly). Negotiating prices is NOT my forte. I'm sure I'll get lost. Multiple times.
Food Safety: The biggest worry. The food is probably going to be amazing, but my stomach is a delicate flower. I will be carrying Pepto-Bismol (with a prayer).
Culture Shock: I’ve read about it. I'm expecting a sensory overload. I’m embracing it. Hopefully.
The Hotel: FabHotel Grand Giriraj. It could be a hidden gem, or it could be a place I immediately regret. I’ll let you know (probably with a lot of colorful language).
The "Perfect" Chai Predicament: The search for chai might be the biggest challenge of all. I am really picky. I might get addicted, I might become an angry chai-critic. Only time, and many cups, will tell.
Social Media: I'll probably be posting photos, but I'm terrible at it. Expect blurry pictures, half-eaten food, and existential captions.
Expectations vs. Reality: I have no illusions. This trip will be nothing like my carefully curated Pinterest boards. I am going on a personal journey of cultural confusion, questionable hygiene, and probably a whole lotta laughter (mostly at myself). I'm expecting the unexpected, and frankly, that's what I'm most excited about. This whole thing is a mess. I can't wait.
So there you have it. My "itinerary." Wish me luck. Godspeed. And please, send help (and maybe an emergency supply of chocolate).
