On the top floor of the building, guests can indulge in a selection of culinary delights at the 24-hour coffee shop, chic bar, and buffet-style restaurant. These dining areas offer expansive views of Gurugram, courtesy of their elevated position. The design ensures that the space is bathed in soft, indirect northern light, enhancing the dining experience while providing a cosy ambiance.

The dining area is ingeniously divided into three distinct zones, each serving a specific function. Anchoring the center is a stunning multipurpose bar counter, which serves as a focal point around which the space is organized. The first zone integrates a meeting room with a versatile lounge, seamlessly blending work and relaxation. The central dining zone features a well-thought-out furniture arrangement with subtle enhancements and dividers that facilitate easy navigation. Meanwhile, the northern-facing balconies offer a serene setting for alfresco dining, providing panoramic views of the cityscape.

In the competitive world of buffet dining, creating a compelling visual narrative is essential. The design of Citadines at Paras Square achieves this through a consistent use of materials and colors. The grey-beige ceiling reflects the soft northern light, creating a warm and inviting backdrop. In contrast, the reception area employs lighter tones to counteract the limited natural light, ensuring a bright and welcoming entrance.

The bar area features slender brass arches that not only reinforce the central bar counter but also introduce a vertical elegance to the space. These arches, coupled with centrally radiating stone inlays, create a striking visual effect that complements the delicate brass accents.

Mirrors and lighting play a crucial role in defining the space. The round lights and brass stem fixtures from And Studio House emphasize curved shapes, highlighting the design features and subtly altering spatial perceptions. Strategically placed mirrors further enhance the room’s dimensions, adding depth and interest.

The furniture selection at Citadines at Paras Square is carefully curated to avoid repetition and maintain a sophisticated aesthetic. Olive green bar stools and compact yellow-green chairs offer both comfort and visual appeal, encouraging guests to linger or dine quickly as desired. In contrast, high-back seats and mid-century chairs in the corners of the dining area provide a more relaxed setting for leisurely meals.

The interplay of colour and shape in the furniture subtly influences guest behaviour, creating a dynamic yet cohesive environment. Mirrors and lighting elements are used to inscribe shapes above the furniture, contributing to a sense of human scale and comfort within the elongated room.

Wooden details such as door jambs, skirtings and architraves add an element of refinement throughout the property. The consistency of materials across rooms ensures a cohesive and elegant design narrative, enhancing the overall guest experience.

Citadines at Paras Square masterfully integrates functionality with aesthetic appeal, creating a space that caters to both business and leisure needs. Through its thoughtful design and strategic use of light, color, and materials, the property offers a dynamic and enriching experience for all its guests. Whether for a brief stay or an extended visit, Citadines at Paras Square stands out as a premier destination in Gurugram, seamlessly blending comfort with sophistication.
