An excellent place to relax after the rigors of traveling, this is the city's most upscale hotel. An attractive mural by the prestigious painter Anjolie Ela Menon lights up the lobby, and the rooms are classy, with marble floors, rich blue furnishings, and comfortable, stylish wood furniture. The Ruchika restaurant serves good North Indian Mughlai food; the Cascade serves interesting Western and Chinese dishes. Pros: well located, elegant rooms. Cons: expensive, far from airport.
