As part of its continued commitment to giving back to the community, The Orchid Hotel Mumbai recently hosted a special afternoon for children from Aawhan Palak Sangh, an NGO that works with specially challenged children and their families.
Held at the hotel's Chancery banquet hall, the initiative brought together 15 specially abled students, along with their parents and teachers, for a memorable experience filled with learning, creativity and celebration.
The visit began with a warm welcome, followed by a guided tour of the hotel. The children explored some of the property's key spaces, including the award-winning South of Vindhyas, a specialty restaurant at The Orchid Hotel, Mumbai, inspired by food served in 5 states – Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, and the Main Kitchen, giving them a glimpse into the world of hospitality. They proceeded to a cozy Privé Lounge, overlooking the runway, on the seventh floor, where they enjoyed watching aircraft take off and land, a moment that sparked excitement and curiosity among the children.
The afternoon featured light-hearted musical performances by members of the team, creating a cheerful atmosphere. Parents, teachers and children were also invited to share a few words and showcase their talents, making the gathering interactive and personal.
One of the most enjoyable moments of the day was the cupcake decorating activity, organised by pastry Chef – Chef Reshma Bhosale and team. The children enthusiastically decorated their cupcakes with colorful toppings before coming together for a joyful cake-cutting celebration.
The hotel's chefs also interacted with the children, sharing their passion for food and hospitality before serving a specially curated vegetarian lunch featuring gourmet dishes by the culinary team.
Gaurav Shiva, general manager, The Orchid Hotel Mumbai, said, "Hospitality is at its best when it brings people together and creates moments that stay with them. It was truly heartwarming to welcome the children, parents and teachers from Aawhan Palak Sangh to The Orchid. Their energy, curiosity and smiles filled our hotel with positivity. We hope they left with happy memories, just as we did. As a responsible hospitality brand, we remain committed to creating experiences that celebrate inclusion, kindness and the spirit of community.We were honored to have Dr. Vithal Indira Venkatesh Kamat, Vishal Kamat, and Ms. Aditi Kamat grace the occasion with their presence. Their heartfelt and inspiring words encouraged the students to dream bigger, believe in themselves, and embrace the values of compassion and sustainability. Their interaction added a truly special touch to the event, making the day not only memorable but also deeply meaningful for every young participant present."
