The Crowne Plaza Greater Noida launches the most awaited – Belgian Beer Café – the first of its kind in India. Through this café, visitors will get an opportunity to discover the Belgian culture by experiencing some of the Belgian pleasures of life – Beer, food and chocolates.

Located off the main hotel lobby, the Belgian Beer café greets you with the warmth of daylight streaming through the clear glass windows. The sleek dark wooden interiors give an old world charm to this cosy café. Adorned with rustic accessories, and scrawls on the walls, these elements truly bring home the Belgian theme.

Offering a range of Belgian delicacies and select brews, the Belgian Beer Café prides itself in dishes like the “Belgian beer battered fish”, “Belgian Fries”, “Crumb Fried Queen Olives” and many more exotic dishes. A unique course of hoppetizers are great finger foods to pair with these foamy brews.

The Belgian Beer Café creates a refuge after a hectic working day or adds the finishing touch to the end of a pleasant day. It is a welcoming, friendly environment with an authentic interior for anyone who loves life and enjoys relaxing with a great beer and a tasty meal. Here, genuine hospitality is the key as you are a true guest in our Belgian home

Developed in 1998, the Belgian Beer Café reflects the atmosphere of a typical Belgian Café of the beginning of the 20th Century and every decorative element has an authentic Belgian character and unwinds a story to convey to the viewers.  “Joie De Vivre” translating to “The Joy of Living” is the essence of the café. The Belgian Beer Café® ‘Rural Concept’ should evoke the same feeling of organic evolution one finds in its original Belgian versions. This feeling will provide the warmth and camaraderie which is the qualifying mark of the Belgian Beer Café® ‘Rural Concept’.

“Just another one of Crowne Plaza Greater Noida’s food and beverage outlets, this one is truly a class apart – offering an experience like no other. So Sip, Share, Savour – PROOST – to life!” says General Manager, Greesh Bindra.

Time and again we have heard our family and friends denying an invitation, a business meeting postponed due to the “distance” or a remark about Greater Noida/Noida being unsafe.

We want to change the pre-conceived notion about Greater Noida. With Buddh International Circuit, India Expo Mart, the largest convention Centre, more than 60 universities, we have the scope to be the events hub in NCR Region.

The Crowne Plaza Greater Noida, has therefore come up with a concept . A concept to attract the Gen-Y, to change their mind set and embrace their own neighbourhood, their campus and home. A student Card – CraveRave – Crave for, Rave about. A one- time pass to all the upcoming events in Crowne Plaza Greater Noida and also a one stop shop for the lifestyle of the youth – fitness, fun, food.

” This is a concept unlike any other, and the first attempt to bring the 5 star experience and all the facilities to the Youth. After conducting a detailed survey, we have packaged this concept as per the needs and fancies of the students.” says Mr. Greesh Bindra, General Manager.

Crowne Plaza Greater Noida is a good option for the travellers to the Golden Triangle—Delhi-Agra-Jaipur—and also for the NCR dwellers—if it’s comfort that you are looking for!

Next door, less sybaritic souls were sweating over the exercycles. And further down the corridor, more pampered bodies still were relaxing in the spa suite or spa pool.

A floor or a few below, the five-ring feast of the lunch buffet at the main Mosaic restaurant was folding up and filing away, as late luncheoners ambled over to the café for afternoon tea, while staff in the show kitchens of the Chao Bella restaurant were polishing their woks and simmering their stocks for another evening’s fine dining at lacquer-red tables. Simmering and pleasantly bubbly.

Just over a year old, that was what the dominant mood was at this quiet but expansive property this winter. No blazing a trail across the sky and then burning out after a few sparks. The Crowne Plaza Greater Noida has been building its reputation quietly and steadily, block by block. After all, when you tick just the right boxes on the plan, you don’t need to work too hard to sell the idea.

Location, quite in the middle of nowhere except factory and cargo yards, is one of those checked marks. For the traveller to the Golden Triangle, this hotel may be far from the airport, but a great way to calm down and recover from jetlag before the short two-hour drive to Agra. For young families from the NCR itself, again it makes a great overnighter with lavish buffets with fresh, live-grilled starters, and comfortable rooms with rather a lot of storage space and shelving. For local office-goers, the lunch deal is worth the short drive through a couple of sectors. For convention organisers, Expo participants and wedding parties, the location means members of the party are manageably contained—no short trips to a market to lose yourself in—but also amply entertained.

About the event facilities, then. First of all, there are 11 event spaces, covering 47,000 sq feet. If you’re boring your party with unimaginative planning, you have only yourself to blame, really. Because between the separate convention block and the scattered breakout rooms in the main building, there really is no excuse to stay square. Ballrooms and banquets are flanked by retreating rooms on either side, whether you use it for backstage event management or to touch up the bride’s glittery and glow.

The bar at Crowne Plaza Greater Noida

Entertainment options do not include a bar yet, but a gorgeously done up Belgian beer café, straight out of a movie set with wooden floorboards, old-fashioned bar stools and memorabilia-stuffed walls, is just awaiting logistical issues to do with import regulations and alcohol licences. A more contemporary Connexions lounge bar is also in the offing.

Speciality restaurant Chao Bella

A particularly smart move is the Chao Bella menu and concept, and introducing it even ahead of the speciality Indian joint SpiceArt—because our favourite dining out choices in this country are, of course, accessible Chinese and Italian. Chao Bella’s twin kitchens concentrate on pasta and noodles, those twin starchy pillars of easy dining, also easy to fancify for fine dining with a side order of adventurous, thanks to the duck oven, bewildering array of dumplings (the vegetarian ones were absolute treasures)—particularly convincing when the venue is dinner-only with smart décor and lighting to support its game play, plus a pretty cosy bar with a menu of some plenitude.

As for the all-day dining at Mosaic, it is—as the name highlights—a smorgasbord of Asian (Thai, Vietnamese, a surprisingly solid selection of modern Japanese as well as a breakfast option from the Land of the Rising Sun, and Chinese, of course), European (Moroccan, Italian, French), Mexican and American, and simple contemporary grills and roasts, substantial salads (chicken, bean and fennel with orange dressing, or salmon with three peppers, or just a mezze platter), sandwiches and wraps, bistro-ish sliders and streetsmart kathis… If I had to nitpick, I could complain that the Indian hews firmly north (certainly with superior execution), except breakfast, and the desserts, while plentiful and varied with hot and cold and DIY options, could improve.

But it proves hard to be plaintive when the meals are so lavish, the staff warm and solicitous enough to want to refresh your barely cooled starters, and the rooms you retreat to for a siesta so thoughtfully planned for effective storage and places to park your paraphernalia (stinginess in which is a common failing in hotel rooms) and your person. Particular mention needs to be made of the one-bedroom apartment suite, with its small but fully equipped kitchen (full-size fridge, cooktop, microwave, dishwasher, sink and breakfast bar) and laundry closet with washer and dryer, which should suit longer sojourns and family parties to a T. On the other hand, the superior room packages should please brisk business travellers with the option of using one of the meeting rooms for a couple of hours in addition to the accommodation. Sightseeing tourists will get a little taste of the Triangle’s opulence in the Mughal-style carved granite panels in the otherwise contemporary four-fixture bathrooms.

Poolside service

It can be hard to leave such a cushy room. So the extensive in-room menu is a good thing. It is also, incidentally, served at the poolside should you manage to get out into the winter sun. And the pool itself is the only heated one in these parts, which makes—again—for proof of excellent planning to capitalise on the high tourist season. And if other properties on the other corners of the triangle prove anticlimactic by contrast, then all the better to bring them flocking back to this warmth before they fly away home.
