Viral Now: Comedian Sorabh Pant Lists Desi Amenities At His Dubai Hotel, Internet Amused

Hotels often customise their offerings to cater to the needs of their most popular guest demographic. A funny video of a Dubai hotel's amenities that aim to make Indian guests feel welcome recently went viral on Instagram. It was posted by comedian Sorabh Pant. While he was staying at the Majestic City Retreat in Dubai, he made a compilation of all the 'desi' elements he found at the property. He explained them in a rather exaggerated manner using a voiceover with a 'foreign' accent, which gave a humorous twist to the situation.

The video starts with the declaration, "When your international hotel is *basically* Indian." Sorabh proceeds to show viewers a clock in the hotel's gym, which is from Big Bazaar. The breakfast buffet has many Indian dishes. The comedian jokingly describes it as containing "Poha, Jain Poha, 19 parathas, 18 types of rajma, dosas." He sarcastically wonders aloud, "Where is my muffin?" Back in the room, he shows us that the TV package includes Hindi news channels. He also points out that the washroom has a bidet and a jet spray. That's not all. The hotel's sports bar is decorated with posters and flags featuring different IPL teams. "The hotel may be international, but all the residents are Indian," he concludes.
