Two holidays. One long exhale.
August has a knack for good timing.
Independence Day falls on a Saturday this year. Take the Friday off and you have a three-day weekend before the week even knows what happened. A couple of weeks later, Raksha Bandhan obliges by falling on a Friday, a long weekend that needs no convincing.
Spend the Independence Day break at a nearby Trident, entirely on your own terms. Slow mornings, long lunches, an afternoon that answers to no one. And for Rakhi? The thread that ties you deserves more than a gift wrapped in a hurry. Book a stay for the two of you. Catch up properly, over a meal worth lingering at, in a setting that makes every conversation feel unhurried.
Because the best way to celebrate a holiday is to actually take one.
In the mood for legendary food
A thali isn't a meal you rush through. It's a considered spread, each component placed with intention, each flavour a chapter in a larger story.
This August, at Trident, Bhubaneswar, we are celebrating the rich heritage of the state with our Flavours of Odisha weekend thali. It is a tribute to local kitchens, featuring aromatic curries, mustard-laced seafood and slow-cooked traditional specialties.
Whether you lean towards the Chingudi Bhaja, the comforting Dalma or simply want to save room for the cardamom-infused Chenna Poda, this is a spread that rewards the unhurried.
Starting 16th August for a month, join us every weekend for a meal that feels like a celebration.
For those with an appetite for history
Before it was Bihar, it was Magadh. An ancient kingdom with a culinary legacy as rich and storied as its history.
This month, at Trident, Chennai we are bringing those rustic, vibrant flavours to the forefront with the Flavours of Bihar, a curated buffet experience. The menu is defined by its earthy profiles, pungent mustard-based gravies and patient, slow-cooked preparations.
Wander through the live counters and discover iconic, indigenous specialties. From the beloved Litti Chokha and Sattu Parantha to Kadhi Bari and sweet Thekua, every dish is a celebration of a region that takes its food very seriously.
Round up your people, come hungry and discover a different side of Indian cuisine at Cinnamon. For one week only, 17th to 26th August.
The Spirit of
Trident
Every city is better with someone who knows it well. At Trident, Bhubaneswar, that someone is Niladri Saha. With 13 years in hospitality and as a member of the globally respected Les Clefs d’Or concierge community, he brings experience, curiosity and a great instinct for personalising your stay.
Known for staying composed when plans change, Niladri is just as committed to mentoring future concierge talent as he is to looking after you. Away from the hotel, he explores new roads and cultures on his motorcycle, so it is safe to say he knows a thing or two about taking the scenic route.
On your next visit, look him up. He may just make Bhubaneswar feel more like your kind of city.
