Continuing the theme of Vaastu Shastra, the element of EARTH and the city of Delhi has been used as inspiration for The Residence on the ninth and tenth floors.

Shades of brown, rust and stone provide a warm background for orange and green accents reminiscent of the colours of the capital city. Fired oak wall panels with a limed treatment suggest the aged patina of the metropolis.

To further emphasize the greenery of Delhi, a trough of live wheat grass grows across the back of the desk. Leather is used extensively, for furniture and accessories. Embossed panels and laser cut suede bedspreads bring in the floral motif indoors. Green and orange rugs and glass panels provide flashes of colour in otherwise calm spaces. Modern and traditional prints and artifacts, notably glass and ceramics by local artists and craftsmen decorate the rooms.

The rooms and suites are luxuriously appointed for relaxation and in-room entertainment. The bedrooms have large LCD TVs, personal DVD players and JBL Sound Centers for docking your i-Pod. To help you continue your business communication from within your private space, there are cordless dual line phones and broadband Internet connectivity and Wi-fi in the public areas of the hotel.

Step into a rejuvenating experience – soak your worries in a spacious sunken white Satwario marble baths reminiscent of Japanese bathtubs. Mirror finished rain showers ensure you relax in a luxurious environment. Tune in to your favourite channels on the LCD TV embedded on the wall.
