Design and art story

The reception area which is airy and spacious is tastefully done up in bright hues. Apart from a carrom table, there is also a large book shelf that stocks up on several interesting books for avid readers.
Do not miss the graffiti print boards that are full of whacky and funny words, adjectives and elements that are all things Jaipur. There is plenty of local art too in the form of paintings and framed blocks whether it is Mandana or Bagru.
Rooms
