Local area

Reception, lobby and front office:

As one enters the building through the main entrance, there is an overwhelming feeling of awe of the traditionally yet classically done interiors. A waiting lobby comfortably placed with new magazines and newspapers, on either side of the entrance with a seating capacity of 15-20 persons, which directly faces the reception and an information desk adjacent to it. The helical staircase acts as a backdrop for the reception and continues throughout the 10 floors of the hotel finished with a creamy marble and brass hand rails which gives it an informal and rich feeling to the overall setup. There are 2 capsule lifts in the atrium near the reception adjacent to the helical staircase which runs between the -2 basement levels to the tenth floor. The E-messenger or an electronic display board placed near the atrium gives information about all the conferences, parties or function happening in the hotel on that date. The 50 feet long chandelier in the atrium attracts a lot of interest from the guests and also intensifies the height of the atrium.
