Its design is inspired by Kashmiri heritage and features traditional motifs, intricate embroidered artwork and live Rabab music, creating an immersive cultural experience for guests.
The hotel offers a diverse culinary scene in its restaurants and lounges.

The Mehfil Bar offers a sophisticated setting for enjoying premium spirits.
For business travellers, the hotel provides well-equipped venues including Mumtaz, one of the largest pillarless banqueting halls in the valley, while Zewar caters to smaller meetings. The hotel's lawns and colonial-style architecture provide a picturesque backdrop for weddings and corporate gatherings.
