This is the costliest hotel ever built in India! Will it make money? - Rediff.com Business: "Two massive elephants moulded out of limestone dust hold the glass roof of the portico supported by brass and wood.
A cream Rolls Royce waits for its custom. Highlanders in black Nepali cap, black trousers and yellow coats wait at the doors.
The lobby rests on thick Corinthian pillars of Turkish limestone. The chandeliers are made of hand-blown glass from Murano.
Sculptures by Satish Gujral and Satish Gupta, as well as some brass antiques, are strewn across the lobby.
The lobby opens into a small lawn surrounded by the hotel on three sides. There is a 10-foot bust of Devi in bronze, copper and brass at one end; on walls facing each other Satish Gupta has done a mural of a thousand lotuses in brass covered with 22-carat gold."
