Chandeliers from Venice, handmade Turkish rugs and carved stone statues from Qatar. Every corner of this large, former palace is decorated in exquisite detail with luxury furnishings and objects. The result is a style that, although it may seem opulent and even kitsch, follows the principles of Vastu shastra (the Indian equivalent of Feng Shui). All the rooms and suites are large and the staff are friendly and attentive. There is a rooftop pool, with stunning views across the city.
