Vivanta Coimbatore (Amex Taj Voucher Redemption)

Walter White

TF Prestige
VIP Lounge
Hotel: Vivanta Coimbatore
Duration: 2D, 1N


For a long time, I was planning to use the Taj Voucher worth 10,000 that I received on completing 4L milestone spends with Amex Platinum Travel. Initially, I was planning to use it to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday in February but rather decided to use it for my Coimbatore trip instead.

The Hotel:

The hotel is situated at Race Course Road in Gopalapuram, one of the posh areas in Coimbatore and is close to nearby attractions. The hotel has a beautiful pool and a nice gym. The hotel also offered splendid views of the city.

I booked a premium room which is considered to be in the middle of the pack. My room was on the 7th floor and offered a good view of the city. This is one of their better rooms, so I found the size to be decent and overall comfortable. The bathroom was quite spacious as well, though they did not have a tub. Lol, they also use inferior quality toiletries compared to sister chains under IHCL .

This was the view from my room.

The Food:

Opted for an all-inclusive plan as it was surprisingly cheaper than Modified American Plan (Breakfast+Any one out of Lunch/Dinner)

The food options for lunch and dinner were decent. There were several good options for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian lovers and a wide range of desserts. The chicken biryani was the best part. The breakfast was slightly below par but was still manageable.

Overall Experience:

The overall experience was good. The room service was sluggish at times given the high standards that IHCL sets. I personally feel that Vivanta significantly lags behind the Taj and Gateway portfolio of hotels.

Final Price Paid after using voucher: Rs. 620 😅

N i c e 🙂
 
Is this the old taj residency? If so, I think it is a franchisee owned unit. Vivanta should be significantly above Gateway, right?
Ya. It is that Old Taj Residency. I can't comment over their positioning but my stays with Vivanta have been above average in most cases. My stays with Gateway at Madurai and Vizag have been better.
 
i'm unable to see option to use voucher when I log in to vivanta account....how did you manage to pay via voucher?
 
How to book hotels using Taj vouchers , when I reached at payment page and entered Gift card ID and PIN it it is this showing voucher can't be redeem here .
I tried booking from all three platforms Taj, Vivanta and another one website's.

What i am missing here
 
If i book at member rate and while check put they deny 10k voucher redeem they can i pay at standard rate later if they deny at member rate ?
No they will accept..I normally book at member rate and pay by voucher 10k and balance any excess pay by card. When you check in inform them. While booking choose pay at hotel. If you prepay by card then u can use the same coupon for food and beverage expense while u checkout just inform them when checkin
