A SUMPTUOUS AND EXCEPTIONAL ROOFTOP EXPERIENCE

Rupali Dean

Just when we thought we’d seen it all with Downtown Delhi NCR’s treasure of high design bars and lounges, in comes the Sunset Story. Already proving itself as one of the best rooftop spots in the city, this lounge injects a serious dose of cool into Westin Gurgaon with delicate light rings, shades of the skyline and hotel frontage immersing with each other and crafting a pretty elegant and dreamlike ambience, providing stunning views, especially at sunset. No matter what time you visit, it always appears to have that Friday evening tinkle to it.

If there’s a speck of sunshine in the sky, you’ll typically find people settled outside, relaxing their tipples on the tables, with more patrons crowding around the bar. It’s a chic spot to treat in global cuisine created by Executive Chef Anurudh Khanna together with tremendously able Japanese & Italian expat chefs and signature cocktails by the inhouse master mixologist. Maybe it’s for of its vigilant crafting and incredible flavours, or maybe it’s because of its affordable prices, but food here is a delight. Indian masterpieces like Nihari Gosht as well as delights from across the world such as California Maki Rolls and Chilli Lobster Tail are on offer. Recommendations go all out for the Scampi Brioche, Chicken Tikka, Five Spice Prawns, Amritsari Corn and the Gulab Jamun Cheesecake. The bar menu is full of season-specific libations and the bartenders can sling with the best of them. Sample the specially crafted Sunset Martini

It’s a bestseller, taking its name from the myriad shades of the sunset! I suggest arriving early and making yourself comfy in a swanky corner lounger before filling up on everything from fresh seafood and sushi to grills and salads. You’ll want to dress up for an evening at Sunset Story. And don’t expect to call an Uber before the wee hours of the morning. Be sure to have your camera at the ready, too – the astounding backdrop and the flora and fauna framed entrance for the perfect Instagram opportunities

This rooftop lounge efforts to imbibe an appealing experience with an aspiration to permeate a fresh outlook into the gastronomic panorama of the hotel and strive towards food and beverage originality by pushing the bar higher. Semi-techno and lounge themed music with an elevated oomph air,together with inventive food and beverage offerings and a serendipitously tasteful ambience, all syndicate fluently to making it a terminus for the selective.
