The architectural style and interior décor create the look and feel of an English manor. High ceilings, rich wood panelling and period furniture heighten the  ambience of nobility and quiet refinement. Some of the rooms have elegant  balconies, while some open out  into the secret Lancelot garden. Sweeping  staircases are lit by crystal chandeliers, priceless art décor  paintings of the Georgian and Edwardian Eras. The hotel’s colonnades, fountains and fluted pillars have the same quaintly charming character as its elegant balustrades and Georgian windows.

Only ITC Windsor can create  the unusually delicious cuisine that could perhaps be described as Anglo-Awadhi, in which Indian spices and colonial ingredients  harmonise memorably. Other dining destinations bring alive the flavours of the North-West Frontier and peninsular South India, alongside cuisines of the world served in a glass-covered conservatory. The bar is perfectly conducive to long engaging conversations, with its excellent collection of beverages and a luxury chocolate boutique adds to the charm.
