While the Palace Wing offers the heritage experience guests often seek, the Tower Wing provides a functional alternative with shared access to all facilities. The design, maintained with a strict adherence to preserving the legacy of the Tata Group, creates an atmosphere of "state of grace" that is rare in modern luxury. My stay in a luxury room highlighted the contrast between the high-quality, period-appropriate finishes and the practical constraints of the building’s footprint. While the room itself is smaller than some modern luxury equivalents, the high ceilings and immaculate maintenance reflect the property’s commitment to its "Guest is God" philosophy—a ethos that gained profound global recognition during the 2008 siege.
