Think Fitness Think Westin

A bright and early morning and we at The Westin Mumbai Garden City launched the Gear Lending program, yet another initiative promoting wellness. It all started with a display of the gear that we shall be providing to our guests when they think of fitness and exercise.

In order to check BMI and bloody pressure, we had representatives from Hiranandani Hospital join us for this event. Our guests were informed of the six pillars of wellness. Our inspirational and motivational chief guests of the day Mr. Naman Ojha - Cricketer Delhi Daredevils and Mr. Sangram Singh – international wrestler representing India shared their tips to fitness and the importance of wellness.

Young and dynamic, Mr. Naman Ojha spoke about the advantage of exercise, staying fit and encouraged our guests to take time out for working-out. Mr. Ojha’s words of wisdom motivated everyone to join us for the launch of our RunWestin 5km track at Westin Woods. The fresh morning air energized everyone’s spirits, which was proceeded by yoga - breathing exercises to relax the mind, body and soul. After the rejuvenating yoga session we had an inspirational speech from the world renowned wrestler Mr. Sangram Singh who spoke about eating well and keeping fit and healthy.  

Our guests were all rejuvenated and energized to enjoy the SuperFoodsRx™ breakfast spread crafted by Executive Chef Ajay Chopra. These delicious delicacies included healing juices, smoothies, muesli, savory selection and beverages too.

Happy Feet

Move the Nation, Lead the World, Stepathlon is spreading its mantra all over the world. The movement has raised awareness about health and the benefits of every step taken by us to improve our lifestyle. The program is about keeping ourselves healthy and spreading the joy of a better quality of life. Stepathlon is about covering a minimum of 10,000 steps in a day. The Stepathletes are crossing 10,000 steps daily. The teams are motivated and energized to make their lives healthy and enduring.

To encourage Stepathletes to cover the steps, Stepathlon organized an event ‘Step out with the Leaders’, an early morning walk at Joggers Park, Bandra, Mumbai on Saturday 13^th October 2012. The senior most to junior level executives of companies participating in the Stepathlon were all present at 7.30am with their pedometres to support the initiative. The focus of the walk was to cover steps for the day and also provide an opportunity to interact with other Stepathletes. Our team from The Westin Mumbai Garden City participated with their pedometers to join the leaders.

The activity was fun as the team enjoyed meeting other people and a morning walk with a few laughs to start the day afresh. The Westin Mumbai Team is taking steps to wellness and a better life, as we say ‘a morning walk will leave you feeling energized’. Happy Feet, Happy Body, Happy You!

Free yourself, Be you!

Our Heavenly Spa concentrates on healing and maintaining a balanced lifestyle of our guests. Our therapies assist in releasing stress and bring wellness to an individual. In our Facebook Signature Spa Therapy Contest, we gave away a voucher to experience our Heavenly Spa to a winner, Ms. Rolly Sapru. She visited our Heavenly Spa for a Harmony Massage.

Ms. Rolly says, “I sincerely wish to thank The Westin Mumbai team for the great experience I had at the Heavenly Spa. My experience was - in one word - Heavenly, a perfect 10/10. I felt 10kgs lighter and 10 years younger. My most memorable moment at the Heavenly Spa was the ritual of throwing away your worries and tiredness into a basket. The ambience of the Heavenly Spa in general and the therapy room in particular was very serene and nice, just entering the quiet area of the spa gave me a feeling of complete relaxation.”

We at Heavenly Spa constantly focus on innovation and creating a memorable experience for our guests. To celebrate India’s Independence, we are offering our guest an insight into Indian spa treatments through an Independence Week Special at Heavenly Spa. Guests have the freedom to avail any one of these Indian therapies on booking a treatment with us.      

  

As we know, India has an age old belief in wellness. In India, wellness started with Ayurvedic medicines, a Hindu system of traditional medicine. Ayurveda follows the philosophy of five elements, earth, water, fire, air, and space which composes the universe. India is also nourished with various spices and herbs which are used worldwide. Spices like turmeric, cardamom, tulsi etc are good for the body and skin. Indian methodology and ethnicity is a mystery in itself which is explored by spa therapists in various treatments. Our Heavenly Spa is proud to adapt these traditions into an enhancing experience for our guests. 

Come free yourself to be you this Independence Day.

A guide to Westin Wellness

When we think of wellness, it happens so naturally that we conjure up associations to harmony, tranquility, health, and rejuvenation, to name a few.  That comes as no surprise to those of us within the Westin brand who are constantly exposed by branded images and words that internalized these ideas and feelings with perfection.  Wellness as an idea is much bigger, and far more elusive, than these words or feelings can collectively embody.

Wellness can be defined as life balance. Wellness harmoniously nurtures your mental, physical, and emotional health intrinsically uplifting optimism for the foundation of a happy life. Imagine your mind, body, and soul feeling good from a renewing sleep, energizing workout, relaxing spa, nourishing foods, and fresh air empowering you to channel your energy to living your best life. Wellness is the attitude, decisions, and actions made today that make us into better versions of ourselves tomorrow.

Here at The Westin Mumbai Garden City we offer guests a soothing, contemporary environment for work and play. Whether you’ve arrived for business or pleasure, the hotel offers a suite of amenities to inspire you to be at your best. The experience begins when entering the hotel premises, with a drive through the charming green reserves, leading to an enchanting water body, followed by our Sensory Welcome inside the Westin place, where signature scents uplift your spirit. The elements of wood, stone and floor-to-ceiling windows providing ample rays of natural daylight leading to refreshing rituals and countless opportunities for relaxation and renewal. We pride ourselves in offering a personal and instinctive service, and a sensory – rich environment that evokes a feeling of tranquility and well-being, nourishing your soul within a bustling city like Mumbai. 


We offer distinct elements to uplift guests mentally, physically and spiritually by engaging and stimulating each of the five senses, Sight, Sound, Touch, Taste, and Scent through a holistic approach to wellness.

Serenity personified

Enter into the world of calmness; listen to the rhythm of your heartbeat; breathe the aroma of white tea scent, this is just a canvas of the environment in which our Spa & Recreation Manager, Archana Ghemeri works. Ms. Ghemeri is a certified clinical aroma therapist and cosmetologist. She is also an internationally trained therapist. Archana is in this profession for over 15 years. In her kitty, she has worked with prestigious organizations including Taj Hotels and Resorts. Archana’s specialty lie in spa therapies, in setting up an international spa and spa standards in countries like Maldives, Sri Lanka and Dubai. Her focus is not only on spa and spa services but also on spa products and creative menus. She personally designs spa products, spa packages and tries to bring new flavors onto the table. Archana specializes in designing spa itineraries to suit customer’s requirements.

She is a firm believer that every individual is different and every treatment given to those individuals must be unique. Every 3 months, Archana modifies the spa menu according to the season for our Heavenly Spa by Westin. She says that every season has its pros and cons and we at The Heavenly Spa make sure that our clients are treated and renewed with the season. The therapists working alongside Archana are trained to international standards and she personally takes care of their learning. When asked about spa trends in India, she said “It is growing and people are moving ahead with more awareness. The only thing I have observed is that there is lack of knowledge in terms of understanding a spa therapy and its value.” While talking to her, it is clearly evident that a Spa experience is much more than just a massage.

Take a sneak peek into the one on one ‘rapid fire round’ with our Spa and Recreation Manager, Archana Ghemeri offering an insight into her experience and path to success:

Describe a massage?

It is a healing therapy which enhances your mind body and soul for better living.

In the eyes of a Spa Therapist…..

We don’t do massages, we do healing! It is a transfer of energy from one soul to another i.e. a therapist to a client and from a client to a therapist.

The most innovative Spa concept you visited in the world?

A Spa in Maldives, it is below sea level with a view of sea creatures whilst having a treatment.

Best Spa destination

What you do in your free time?

Try to channelize my energy and focus more on the value of each and every individual’s well being.

The one thing you want to change in yourself?

Try and concentrate to stay positive for a better living.

A tip for being happy and feeling renewed…

Think positive and good things will happen for you. 

Celebrate World Environment Day

World Environment Day (WED), an initiative run by United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), is celebrated every year on 5 June. It was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972 to raise global awareness on the world environment and also to encourage people to take steps to conserve our environment. The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment took place in Stockholm from 5 to 16 June 1972.

The first World Environment Day was on 5 June 1973. World Environment Day is celebrated every year by a different city with a different theme to spread awareness about the deteriorating environment and to encourage people to take positive actions to conserve it. Different countries carry out activities like street rallies and parades, concerts, tree planting and clean-up campaigns. In many countries, World Environment Day is used to enhance political attention and action towards improving the environment.

The event has helped us understand the environmental issues at hand and enabled everyone to realize their responsibilities towards sustainable development and a better world. It is not just a day activity but an opportunity to come together and take measures for our mother earth. Every small step taken by an individual counts, even if it is walking to work, cleaning up the neighbourhood, or saying no to plastic. It is time to make green choices, take initiatives and be an ambassador of Go Green!

Every action is a step closer to a healthy environment and green economy.  Tell us about your green initiatives and help us change the world.

WHO supports YOU!

The World Health Organization (WHO) was founded in 1948 and has been celebrated religiously every year on 7^th April. The annual theme varies but the fundamentals of World Health Day remain the same – a worldwide movement supporting a single health issue with global impact. This is our opportunity to give back to society, through collective action enabling the protection of people’s health and well-being.

This year WHO focus upon the ageing population and highlight the importance of individuals focusing upon their health throughout their lives. WHO supports you – will you reciprocate?
