QUALITY INN RIVER COUNTRY RESORT
City: Manali
Location
The hotel is located 1.5 km from the Manali market.
Just a kilometer and half before the bustling Manali market, with the River Beas gurgling downstream lies the Quality Inn River Country Resort. Just two and a half years old, this business class hotel can deceive anyone for an experienced and older hotel because the art, decor, architecture and facilities provided here are simply magnificent. The lobby is chic and compact with ultra modern plush sofas and polished wooden furniture. The lobby connects to The Deck, the tea lounge, another classy area continuing with the pattern of the lobby. The lounge extends to the outside as well, with cane chairs and tables in the porch with the sun's rays to keep you warm.
Rooms
The hotel is beautifully divided into 54 rooms such as the Deluxe rooms, Duplex rooms, Suites and Cottages. The 19 Deluxe rooms here are modern, classy and clean, with wooden flooring and some with a balcony and some without. Likewise, some of the deluxe bathrooms are adorned with bathtubs and some with showers. The Duplex rooms are different in the sense that it has tiled floors and of course, two beds. The bed space in the attic is adjoined with just a toilet, whereas the sleeping area downstairs has an attached bathroom with a sink, bathtub, pot and bathroom amenities. The Suites, with an area of 400 square feet, are a class apart with a swanky DVD player and a 29" colour television and river-facing balconies. The bathroom with the Suites has Jacuzzi bathtubs with a massage panel!
The Cottages are a fine set of two and four bedroom apartments with the former situated on the ground floor and the latter on the first floor. The best part about these cottages is that the bedrooms are interlinked with one another with a common drawing area. So, while guests can enjoy all their privacy, at the same time they can share the common drawing area, which has comfortable sofas, a fireplace and carpeted flooring all over. All the bedrooms here are complete with modern amenities like central heating, cupboards, safety deposit lockers, tea and coffee makers, satellite television, direct dial phone, Wi-Fi connectivity and attached bathrooms and running hot and cold water supply with bathroom amenities such as soap, shampoo, moisturizer, conditioner, shower cap etc.
Dining
The Curry by the River is a stylish 52-seater multi cuisine restaurant serving Indian, Chinese, Continental and Thai cuisine. The restaurant is airy, full of natural light, clean and uncluttered with the decor done in complete wood donning a rich classic look to the entire place. The Blue bar and lounge is another place where one can relax. Reputed to serve one of the best alcohols in town, the bar specially flaunts Blue lagoon, Screw Driver, Royal Smile and Wedding Night cocktails and Prohibition Punch, Anita, Sweet Corner and Blu Special mocktails on its menu. Another attraction here is their wide range of "hookahs" with rose, mint, apple, mix fruit and coffee flavours to choose from, making it the ultimate hangout place.
