Luxury Gurgaon Escape: ZEN Medicity Hotel & Apartments
My Chaotic Confessions from ZEN Medicity: Gurgaon's Luxury Escape (Did I Actually Escape?)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from a whirlwind stay at the ZEN Medicity Hotel & Apartments in Gurgaon, and let me tell you, it was a ride. Forget curated travel blogs, this is the unfiltered, slightly-obsessive, and possibly-too-candid truth about my experience. Prepare for tangents, because frankly, that's how my brain works.

First things first: Accessibility. Found it, mostly. The elevator was a lifesaver (hello, bad knees!), and the front desk seemed to understand my frantic flailing for information. They at least had a ramp. That's a win in my book! But hey, did they really have every single thing listed here? Hmmm, my notes are not quite clear on that, but generally speaking they were pretty accommodating.
Let's talk clean! Okay, so the cleanliness… This is where I went all germaphobe. With everything lately, am I right? The anti-viral cleaning products and daily disinfection in common areas? Yes, please. Room sanitization opt-out available? I took that option, because I'm a control freak and want to do the sanitizing myself. I did notice the staff really seemed to be taking it seriously, which I appreciated. And hand sanitizer everywhere? I used that stuff like it was gold, which, in this day and age, it practically is. The hot water linen and laundry washing was definitely appreciated!
On-site Accessible Restaurants/Lounges? Well, that's a bit trickier to say. While everything appeared accessible, navigating the dining options required a bit of… patience. More on that later.
Internet Access? Hallelujah for Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! I mean, come on, that's the bare minimum these days, especially when you're trying to relax and catch up on everything you've missed while being away. I can tell you that I definitely made good use of the access, even when I tried to use the Internet [LAN] (which, let's admit, is a blast from the past).
Things To Do, Ways to Relax (aka: The Spa! The Pool! The Gym! Oh My!)
Alright, let's get to the good stuff. This is where the ZEN Medicity really started to shine (or, you know, glow like a zen master would).
- Pool with a View: Oh my god. Seriously, the pictures don't do it justice. The pool itself was pristine, not freezing, and the view stretching out over… well, I'm not entirely sure what I was looking at, but it was lush and green and incredibly peaceful. I spent a good afternoon just floating, staring at the clouds, and pretending I had all the time in the world. Which I didn't, because deadlines. But still… glorious.
- The Spa: Okay. The spa. This is where I almost lost it. I’m talking an actual meltdown of blissful relaxation. I booked a full body massage (naturally), and the masseuse… well, she worked magic. It was one of those experiences where you completely forget your name, your troubles, and that email you really need to answer. I’m pretty sure I drooled. Don't judge.
- Fitness Center? I saw it. I walked past it. I may have glanced at it longingly. Okay, I didn't go in. But it looked impressive, with all the usual suspects. My exercise routine consisted of walking from the bed to the mini-bar.
- Sauna, Steamroom, Foot Bath: Spa/Sauna: These are a must. I'm not sure what order you're supposed to do things but hey it was a good experience.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (aka: The Quest for Food!)
Okay, food. This is where things got… interesting. The Asian breakfast was legitimately delicious, and those tiny cups of coffee got me through the day. The restaurant had a nice decor. I ordered the soup in the restaurant and the salad in the restaurant and the coffee in the restaurant.
- Room Service [24-hour]: God bless them. Seriously. After the spa, when I was basically a puddle of happy goo, room service was a lifesaver. Deliciousness delivered to your door? Sold! The bottle of water was a nice touch, too, considering I'd just shed a gallon of spa-induced sweat.
- Poolside Bar: Yes! Essential. I had a few "happy hour" moments there. Okay, maybe more than a few. Don't judge me. I'm on vacation. Though, I should mention, the service at the bar was a little… slow. But the cocktails were worth the wait and honestly, it just gave me more time to soak up the sun.
- Coffee Shop: The coffee was actually really good (which is a win!).
Services and Conveniences (aka: Did They Think of Everything?)
ZEN Medicity really does go above and beyond to provide a whole suite of conveniences.
- Concierge: Super helpful, especially when trying to find the best dosa in town.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your pristine, perfectly-formatted itinerary. This is me, stumbling through a few days at the Zen Medicity, Gurgaon. Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions, questionable decisions, and a whole lotta caffeine.
ZEN MEDICTY: GURGAON – A MESSY ADVENTURE
Day 1: Arrival & A Cultural Clash of the Ages
1:00 AM (Give or Take): ARRIVAL. Delhi airport. Ugh. So much to say, and so little time. Let's just say the immigration line was longer than my patience. Thankfully, I'd booked a car. (Smart move, future me!) The drive to Zen Medicity felt like entering another dimension. Gurgaon at night is a shimmering, chaotic landscape of glass towers and potholed roads.
2:30 AM: Check-in. The reception guy looked tired. I probably looked worse. The suite? Gorgeous. Modern, clean, and surprisingly scent-free, which was a win after the Delhi smog. I immediately crashed, barely registering the plush sheets.
Morning (whenever I woke up): Jet lag. The enemy. Managed to drag myself out of bed and into, what I assumed, was the breakfast buffet. (More on that later.) The view from the window? Awesome. Gurgaon sprawling below me, an ocean of buildings stretching to the horizon.
Breakfast Debacle: Okay, the buffet. Let's be honest, it wasn't a debaccle…yet. I approached it with the grim determination of someone who hasn't eaten since the last century. My target: The "Continental" section. It had the usual suspects – some dry toast, a sad-looking croissant, and weirdly, a bowl of what they claimed was "fruit salad." It looked suspiciously like the remnants of a particularly violent smoothie. Still ate it, because, jet lag.
Afternoon: Navigating the Madness: Decided, with questionable wisdom, to venture out for a “local experience”. I found a "mall" (which felt more like a neon-lit palace of consumerism, and a taxi ride was, to put it mildly, an adventure. The traffic was insane. The drivers seem to relish in honking. Honking. Everywhere. Seriously, even the pedestrians honked. Finally survived, a bit shell-shocked. Back to Zen for a sanity check.
7:00 PM: Ordered room service: Butter Chicken & Garlic Naan. It arrived faster than expected. (A definite win.) The Butter Chicken was decent, definitely decent. Nothing to write home about, but it did the job.
Evening: Staring out the window. Reflecting. Gurgaon is… confusing. Beautiful and brutal. Modern and ancient. It’s a city of contrasts.
Day 2: Spices, Spiritual Quests, and a Near-Death Experience (Shopping Edition)
- Morning: Tried to hit the gym. Failed. The allure of the bed was too strong.
- Brunch: (Because I missed breakfast, again). Back to the buffet. This time, I was going for the Indian section. The dosa was epic. The sambar was magic. I loaded up. This was a turning point. Food is love, and the Zen Medicity's chef was starting to speak my language.
- Afternoon: Exploring the World of Flavors: Hired a driver (smart move!) to take me to a spice market. The smells. Oh. My. God. The air was thick with the scent of cardamom, cumin, and a hundred other things I couldn't even name. I bought way too much, including a bag of something that smelled suspiciously like… well, I’m not sure. But I bought it.
- Shopping… The Thrill of the Hunt, or the Agony of the Feet? The plan was simple: shopping for souvenirs. Result: Complete sensory overload. The sheer volume of goods was astounding. Salesmen jostled, beckoned. Bargaining was a contact sport. I emerged victorious, having purchased a silk scarf. (Maybe. I'm still not sure if I got a good deal.)
- Emotional Breakdown (Shopping Edition): Somewhere between the third bangle shop and the fifth textile emporium, I had a minor meltdown. The noise, the pressure, the stuff! I wanted to scream, but I held it together. (Victory!)
- Evening: Dinner at the hotel restaurant. Finally tried some authentic Indian dishes. The flavor explosion was worth it. I felt my spirits lifted (and my stomach considerably fuller).
Day 3: A Walk in the Park (or a Desperate Search for Serenity)
- Morning: Decided to explore the hotel amenities. The pool looked inviting, but the thought of putting on a swimsuit after all that food felt… impossible.
- The Spa Experience: Did the most stereotypical thing ever-- indulged in a massage. The masseuse was a miracle worker. I left feeling like a limp noodle.
- Afternoon: The Park. I needed green. I needed air. The hotel staff suggested a nearby park. It was a welcome change of pace from the urban chaos. Birds chirped. Children played. A stray dog eyed me suspiciously. I sat on a bench, absorbed the sights, and for a little while, I found it. Serenity. It was amazing and lovely.
- Evening: Prepped for departure. Packed, repacked, panicked about forgotten souvenirs. Ordered a very large pizza from room service.
- Late Evening: Stared at the Gurgaon skyline one last time, this feeling of being in a dream, and realizing that I’ll be back someday.
Day 4: Goodbye, Gurgaon
- Morning: Another amazing breakfast.
- Departure: The airport was… well, it was an airport. Goodbyes are hard. Goodbye, Gurgaon. I'll miss you. (Even the honking.)
Final Thoughts:
Zen Medicity? Solid choice. The staff were fantastic, the rooms are great. Could've done without my jet lag and emotional meltdowns. Gurgaon? A wild ride. Absolutely, undeniably, messy. Would I repeat it? Absolutely.
