Poetry in Stone

What I loved was the usage of plenty of natural stone in the décor in the form of statement artefacts.  Whether it is the magnificent statue of Lord Buddha outside or the endearing pair of elephants at the entrance, these sculptures sure lend a royal vibe to the place.  The large stone urli filled with aromatic rose petals in the reception accentuates the entire setting while complementing the traditional look and feel.
