Walk into its foyer that reflects its glorious history over time. Admire the paintings of artist G. Douglas and lithographs of Daniell while relaxing in furniture made from fine Burma teak wood around a warm fireplace and listening to tunes that spill out from the grand piano. Unpack and rest in Victorian-style rooms featuring warm wood panelling on the floors, roomy twin or king-size beds, ensuite bathrooms with bathtubs and showers, and premium toiletries. All rooms have double-glazed windows offering heat insulation, and many have fireplaces. The hotel also provides wheelchair-friendly rooms on the ground floor. Relish meals under chandeliers at the indoor restaurant that offers various Indian, Italian, continental and regional specialities for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Back from your sightseeing, enjoy snacks and drinks under the gazebo in the garden, surrounded by the sight and fragrance of flowers. Indulge in a relaxing deep tissue massage, an aromatherapy treatment or choose from the salon menu; it’s the perfect way to carve out some me-time. During evenings, head to the lounge and bar and nurse a drink around a warm fireplace or enjoy a lively cultural show and dinner experience.
