TATTVA SPA at COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT, Gurgoan, to get profound experience through natural herbs, spices and authentic oil blends......


Had a wonderful experience at TATTVA Spa, at Courtyard By Marriott, Gurgoan recently when we stayed there. They have massages and beauty therapies to rejuvenate and remove toxins from the body. TATTVA has approx fifty branches all across India.

Natural herbs, spices and authentic oil blends are used here.  With very well trained staff for the services you feel confident to go ahead.


Got the Floral Body Scrub done with flower extract and aromatic oils and Anti Ageing Facial. Enjoyed thoroughly and really felt lighter and fresh.

Anyone who can afford to get the therapies done regularly, it’s a bliss, but then everyone can afford to indulge in for these therapies once in a while to get oneself pampered and feel rejuvenated.


Ms Anita who has deep knowledge and three decades of experience in the subject is running these TATTAVA SPAs with her partners.  All the best to Ajay, who is heading the Spa here and his team for the giving such great experience.

Standing tall for last sixteen years and still going great guns, the STOTRM GRILL & BAR now with a new name STORM VERSION 2.0 is a hundred covers restaurant with the focus on food, not authentic cuisine but Indo Fusion which is a need of the hour.

MAGGI ARANCINI…..maggi stuffed nice balls, crisp. BUTTER CHICKEN TART….star dish for me, very very crisp tart with succlent butter chicken, delicious, not to be missed. FIRANGI NAAN…….crisp naan topped with jalapenos and served with green and tangy & sweet mango chutney. THAI CURRY with KULCHA…..this is what the exact fusion is, got surprised when heard and saw the dish but then really liked it, must have.


DAL STORM VERSION 2.0, CHETTINAD CHICKEN, PANEER KORMA with MALABAR PARANTHA…..just tasted awesome.
