The signature restaurant, named for the year the hotel opened. Sit at the teppanyaki counter and watch the chefs work the iron griddle in front of you.
Aangan
A multi-cuisine restaurant set out in an open-air courtyard, cooking everything from prawn curries to soups.
Aubergine
The breakfast buffet, and Indian and international cooking for the rest of the day.
