80 outstanding guestrooms marry historic luxury with 21st century necessities. Furnishings are extraordinarily unique hand-carved mahogany and teak, antiques and superb replicas and hand-woven linens from India. Delicately woven mosquito netting drapes four-poster beds providing comfort and romance. Each room features one-of-a-kind hand-painted walls by local artisans.
Beautifully carved and specifically designed standing mirrors, hand-carved bars, hanging mirrors and beds from Indonesia make a visual design connection between the guest rooms but varying patterns, colors and fabrics ensure that no two are identical.
The Indian Bridal suite will inspire couples to get married again and again just to experience this lush sterling silver surrounding. The handcrafted furniture is made of hammered sterling silver including the headboard, night tables, chairs and dressing table. Truly a suite fit for a Maharajah and Maharani.
