Park Hyatt Chennai, in association with
Volvo Artemis Cars, broke ground this New Year’s eve with a spectacular evening
bringing together the best of entertainment, food & beverage into one power
packed evening.
Converting this intimate hotel into a
concert venue was no small task, and the entire team worked tirelessly to bring
about this dramatic change. The central courtyard transformed into an expansive
dance floor and impressive performance venue, ensconced by the theatrical
Flying Elephant, the intimate Dining Room, the bespoke Apartment and the
elegant lobby. For the first time ever, all venues converged as one, to create
an experience that catered to every guests’desires. Dramatic technical effects
including three-dimensional projection, stereophonic sound and cold
pyrotechnics accentuated the evening.
With an entertainment lineup featuring the
best of the best, the chefs at Park Hyatt Chennai went all out to deliver a
gourmet feast showcasing a kaleidoscope of International and Indian delicacies
while exhibiting the finest on offer at the hotel’s outlets. Park Hyatt
Chennai’s very own Pâtissier,
Chef Fabien Berteau enticed guests with his avant-garde display of the finest
desserts in town as they adorned the grand staircase. He seamlessly blended
classical temptations with modern delights incorporating molecular gastronomy
and provided guests a sweet ending to 2013.
At the core of the evening,
was a larger than life profusion of entertainment curated by the Park Hyatt
Chennai team. The Flying Elephant’s very own DJ Griffin warmed up the crowd,
while DVJ Dave Zobhaa mesmerized guests with his skillful blend of graphics,
video and music. Sivamani’s inventive percussion and magical ability to
generate beats from just about anything took energies to another level. This
collective musical mélange, showcasing Chennai’s talent electrified the stage
in preparation for Priyanka Chopra’s landmark countdown performance.
Priyanka Chopra’s show
stopping performance left the audience spellbound as she dramatically descended
from a landscaped canopy into a sea of awaiting fans. Her interactive
performance across multiple stages had her flowing right through the audience. Her
mesmerizing show seamlessly transitioned, from the energy of an international
concert to the best of her Bollywood hits and a tribute to celebrating “Chennai
style”, with a flair that only Priyanka could pull off.
