12 Incredible Hotels In India For Art Lovers
ITC Grand Chola, Chennai(01 of12)
Spread over 1.5 million sq feet, this Rs 1,200 crore property’s name justifies its connection to the city and the graceful Chola monuments that punctuate it. Click here to read more. With the efforts of architects Smallwood Reynolds and Steward & Steward LLC, these 10th- 12th century designs have been incorporated in the architecture. The Chola has borrowed heavily from the architecture of the magnificent Dravidian temple Thanjai Periyakovil -- apparent in the intricate fretwork and delicately carved ceilings of the property. The work of traditional sculptors from Mahabalipuram drapes the hotel’s walls, while stucco columns (432 in all) in the form of carved elephants and four-petalled flower motifs stand tall.The hotel also has four gateways facing the cardinal directions (Vallavan facing the north is the drop-off point for personalized check-ins to the Presidential Suites). But the west entrance, that leads to the Grand Staircase (Sangam), is a voyeuristic delight few guests can afford to miss. “The Chariot of Victory (shown in the picture above) is an embodiment of the influence and expanse of the Chola empires, and draws inspiration from the sculptures of the dynasty. Sangam has been conceived to recreate the awe-inspiring interiors of the palatial Chola temples and royal durbars,” reveals Dipak Haskar, chief executive, ITC Hotels. This relief was sculpted in the ancient ‘lost wax process' and cast in 'Panchaloham', an amalgamation of the five metals of Copper, Zinc, Lead, Silver and Gold, sacred in its significance and symbolic in its tradition. The sculpture has been accomplished by a Sthapathi (Master Sculptor) whose lineage dates back to the Chola Period.The Wheels and Horses are replicas from the Airavatesvara Temple,Darasuram, built by Raja Raja Chola II in the 12th Century AD and theNageswaraswamy Temple, Kumbakonam, built by Aditya Chola in the 9th Century AD, respectively.In addition to its beautiful artworks, ITC Chola has also been awarded the title of the world’s largest LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum Green Hotel. It has been built on the site of an old movie studio Narasu, and lies just eight kilometres from the airport in close proximity to Marina(Asia’s longest beach). (credit:ITC Hotels)
Taj Falaknuma Palace, Hyderabad(02 of12)
Assigned by the (then) Prime Minister of Hyderabad, Vikar Ul Umra in 1884, the construction of the stunning Taj Falaknuma Palace took a decade to complete, and became a host to several pieces of furniture and elegant chandeliers from across Europe that are over 115 years old, something that no hotel in India can boast. “In 1895, the sixth Nizam of Hyderabad, Mir Mahboob Ali Pasha was invited for dinner, and amazed by the opulence and grandeur of the Palace decided to buy it from Vikar Ul Umra despite 17 other palaces,” reveals Prabhakar Mahindraker, palace historian. “Although it took the PM Rs4 million to build it, the Nizam paid 6.8 million and refused to take the Falaknuma as a gift. He continued to decorate it with precious items right uptil his death in 1911.”The Falaknuma Palace features architecture from both the Art Deco and Art Nouveau movements, a rare combination. Its lavish Mughal-styled gardens feature Rajasthani and Japanese influences. It also houses a billiard table, whose identical twin rests in UK’s Buckingham palace, in addition to a humongous collection of Venetian chandeliers, several priceless statues, murals, crystal collections a replica of the library at Windsor castle, and possibly one of the finest collections of the Quran in India.

The Lodhi, Delhi(04 of12)
Initially built in 1965 as a red-brick hued government hotel, The Lodhi Hotel was given a heavy makeover by Australian architect Kerry Hill, when it was relaunched as part of Aman’s venture into the capital in 2009, a mix of contemporary minimalist architecture dotted with traditional jaali screens and modern, and at times almost kitchy artworks. Even though it was restored back to its original name, the property continues to feature eclectic pieces of artwork across its periphery curated by Apparao Galleries. “The design, architecture and interiors of the hotel lends itself to the artworks which are very carefully and particularly selected and placed keeping in mind the various moods of the place. The forms and colours of the works pop up and beautifully stand out in the surroundings of the hotel which was made to be the perfect platform for a public art project. The neutrality of the space lends itself to the changing palette of the art,” says Sharan Apparao, the art curator. Along the usual suspects such as S.H. Raza, M.f. Hussain, Sakti Burman, there are other interesting pieces like the Bodhi Tree by Alex Davis (NID) that adorns the front lawn of the property. “It represents equality in creation where the roots of the tree equals the branches,” reveals Apparao. Also present is a series of dramatic heads in fibreglass with a skin of newspaper by George K, a finance businessman turned artist who explores unwanted material (particularly used newspapers) to shape his sculptures. Located approximately 25 kilometres away from Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International airport,The Lodhi hotel can almost be called an ever-changing art gallery of sorts, and certainly makes for some interesting photography, once you’re done exploring the extravgant rooms and some excellent pan-Asian cuisine from their restaurant OTW (On The Waterfront).

The Leela Palace, Delhi(08 of12)
Recognised by luxury magazine Robb Report USA as one of the World’s Top 100 hotels last year, The Leela Palace New Delhi also features a rare and diverse collection of some of India’s finest contemporary artists. While each property from the chain of hotels started by Captain CP Nair is envisioned as an ode to local craftsmen of India, its Delhi flagship features over 1,400 unique and original pieces of art. “These include especially commissioned installations, paintings, sculptures from prominent names such as Satish Gupta, Paresh Maeity, Satish Gujral, Seema Kohli and Jayshree Burman to name a few,” shares a spokesperson from the hotel. Walk into the central courtyard of the property and you’ll be greeted by an incredible eight-foot tall Devi, a panch dhatu (five metal) sculpture by Satish Gupta that can be seen from almost every floor, representing various goddesses from Hindu mythology. A theme of lotuses is also apparent in the courtyard and lobby lounge, while the theme of goddesses continues in the form of two incredible paintings by Jayasri Burman.Artist Seema Kohli’s intricate ‘Golden Womb’ decorates The Leela’s spa area, while a special place of honour is reserved at The Royal Club Lounge for a lovely sculpture by Prodish Das Gupta – the Egg Dance that depicts human closeness through its three figures.The hotel’s architects have also worked closely with Thikri artisans in an attempt to preseve the dying art of mirror inlays from Mewar (also used in The Leela Palace Udaipur), and used a heavy amount of mother-of-pearl inlay craft throughout out the property.Specially curated art walks are also available to guests to enjoy these pieces of art that extend in the form of austentatious chairs, heavy carpets and other pieces of furniture.

Le Sutra, Mumbai(09 of12)
Small, but bursting with vibrant contemporary Indian artworks lovingly collected and presented by a team of several artists, designers, and curators, Le Sutra that squats comfortably in Mumbai’s Bandra quite lives upto its self-proclaimed motto of being the first unique Indian art hotel. “Sutra in Sanskrit is a rope or thread that holds things together,” says Rahul Bajaj, the director who visualised the concept behind this boutique hotel. “The 16 rooms at Le Sutra are based on characters – Ravana, Ashoka, Buddha – and characteristics – sensuality, love, purification --- inspired by Indian mythos.”Every room within Le Sutra features a different personality, evident (albeit subtly) through paintings, artifacts, furniture, inlays and sculptures. The Ravana room for instance (shown in the picture) features fierce eyes on the wall, and an eye-grabbing headboard that depict Ravana’s different frames of mind along with other bric-a-brac that one could associate the Lord of Lanka with.

Dune Eco Village, Pondicherry(11 of12)
For many years, The Dune has occupied a quiet spot on the Coromandel Coast of Tamil Nadu, where it invites several artists from across the world to take part in its (well-recognised) artists in residence programme. Spread across 35 acres, the eco-friendly property combines traditional –Chettinad palaces, Kerala planters mansions -- and modern – colonial houses -- architecture in its 55 bungalows, each of which distinctly differs in design from each other. Also providing vocational education to underpriveleged children, the Dune accepts artists after viewing their work on a free-of-cost basis. Other guests are encouraged to mingle with these artists and view their work in the form of oeuvres, or performances.Here’s how to get there. (credit:Dune Eco Village)
Swaswara, Gokarna(12 of12)
Aside from the usual offerings (yoga, ayurveda) that are available for soul-searching travellers, Swaswarna also places a heavy emphasis on art therapy. “The beauty of art is that there is no rigid definition of everything in life, and teaches tolerance and with unencumbered acceptance,” says Mini Chandran, general manager. “It encourages people to think and look out of the mental boxes most of us have unconsciously interred ourselves in, and frees the inner child hidden within.” Built, using the local architectural style along the Konkan coast, Swaswara presents a simple, but beautiful picture with its thatched roof villas (24 in all). The nearest airport is Goa's Dabolim Airport at approximately 170 km away. Aside from the art studio that is open to any guest, a resident artist holds a meditative art session every day, and is available to interact on a daily basis to encourage guests to embrace their creative sides. In addition to enhancing it’s artists-in-residence programme, (they’re also open to featuring musicians, performing artists, writers and poets) the wellness resort is building a modern pottery studio that will be available to guests all year around, instead of relying on seasonal changes.
