In the words of the famous Maya Angelou, “If you are going to live, leave a legacy. Make a mark in the world that can’t be erased,’’ and Hotel Boulevard did exactly that and after running a product for this long, calls for a makeover as times are evolving.
After nine extensive months of retouching, renovation and refurbishment, it has uniquely been facelifted and curated in terms of infrastructure, components and design to be the hub of culture, style and cuisine.

With flawless and immaculate refurbishment, Hotel Boulevard similarly kept up in respect to product and services, by integrating new things starting off with the Live Kitchen which is an open Italian kitchen with live masonry (brick oven), predominantly to serve Italian Cuisine and different blends of international cuisine on the grab and go format.
This twist gives a one of a kind, one on one experience between the chef and the client as they get to see and experience the thrill of culinary arts.
One simply cannot miss to espy the impeccable and luxurious cabanas which are perfect for private, fine dining and an all-inclusive experience which has been curated to attract more upscale and ultra-net worth clients.

By the pool, they are coming up with an entertainment space, a somewhat open air theater set up, which gives room to participate in cultural activities, scenic nights, displays on the screen enhancing the theater sophistication.
Whereas most of the components are going to be new, the bar remains to be the most outstanding piece as it has retained the same structure. It has barely been distorted because the people have a feeling of nostalgia just thinking about the legacy and memories it holds.
However, to create more memories, a few touch ups have been done here and there. It offers a variety of drinks and happy hour with a specialty in the Mixed Berry Mojito, seals the deal.
