This sprawling brick structure designed as a haveli (mansion) has four courtyards and numerous fountains, but it's more chic than it is traditional. The Western-style rooms are plush and comfortable. The pool, set in the main courtyard along with an outdoor bar, is beautifully designed, and the nightclub is one of the central meeting points for the city's upper-class youth. This is the place to be if you value comfort over nostalgia. Pros: suites have balconies. Cons: despite the name, it's not very palatial or architecturally interesting.
