An imposing structure of timeless luxury & inspiring architecture, the hotel rises up in steps echoing the design of a Buddhist stupa. The lobby recreates the paneled dome of a chaitya, or Buddhist hall of worship. Its glowing mural sensitively depicting the great parade of life is the cynosure of all eyes. A towering bronze sculpture of Emperor Ashoka in the gardens portrays him in his transformation from a warrior to a philosopher king. The vases, figurines and pieces of sculpture take forward the Mauryan saga. On display is a priceless collection of art by leading Indian artists ranging from Krishen Khanna, M F Husain, Tyeb Mehta & more.
