The Luxury Collection Hotels & Resorts unveils the newest limited-edition India Destination Guide, which is part of a special set of carefully crafted and beautifully bound books published by Assouline. A passport to the brand’s impressive ensemble of over 75 of the world’s finest hotels and resorts in more than 30 countries, the exclusive set unlocks hidden charms of The Luxury Collection’s most breathtaking properties and geographical regions – India, Italy, Argentina, Spain, Greece and The United States.
The India Destination Guide is a visually stunning journey through one of the world’s most vibrant destinations, featuring shopping and dining recommendations, cultural happenings and insights from noteworthy contributors including Luxury Collection’s newest Global Explorer Waris Ahluwalia and Chef Manjit Gill, ITC Executive Chef of Luxury Collection Hotels in India. Ahluwalia, an impassioned traveler, designer, actor and philanthropist, offers his favorite excursions in India and the best way to travel through the country while acclaimed Chef Gill provides his classic recipe for Sikandari Raan and the best dishes to taste while visiting India.
“We are thrilled to share the latest iteration of The India Destination Guide with our guests and global travelers,” said Paul James, Global Brand Leader, St. Regis & The Luxury Collection Hotels & Resorts. “Summoning India’s rich culture and distinctive heritage, these exquisite books are an excellent resource for discerning travelers who want to experience the indigenous treasures of a destination with the unparalleled service, style and class they have come to expect from The Luxury Collection.”
The Luxury Collection Destination Guides provide a passport to all that is truly unique about a destination, delivering authentic and unforgettable experiences that only locals and the most seasoned travelers enjoy. Among the celebrated and iconic properties that make up The Luxury Collection portfolio, eight span all of India: from the cosmopolitan Mumbai’s ITC Grand Central to the regal Agra’s ITC Mughal steps away from the Taj Majal or the idyllic ITC Maratha, imbued with the elegance of North Mumbai’s rich history.
Celebrating the debut of The India Destination Guide, The Luxury Collection hosted an exclusive cocktail event at the new Assouline Café in the iconic Liberty of London on Tuesday, 24 May 2011 where guests experienced an exquisite Indian menu curated by Chef Gill and cocktails created by mixologist and Luxury Collection Global Explorer Greg Seider. Following cocktails, VIP guests attended a private dinner in Liberty’s Heritage Suite hosted by Paul James and Waris Ahluwalia.

The 11-day excursion from New Delhi to Mumbai introduces guests to awe-inspiring historical sites, vibrant cultural attractions, and tantalizing cuisine across the magnificent country.
The Luxury Collection’s India Destination Guide is exclusively offered as a part of a complete set of six in a unique vintage-inspired gift box at Assouline Boutiques around the world as well as www.luxurycollection.com/assouline and other major retail stores for US $140.
