Royal Suite, Lake View

There are 4 of them, named: Basant Bahar, Machla Magra, Jag Mandir Darshan, Aravali Darshan. The 53 square metres are arranged as a sitting room and a bedroom rather than one long space, and in 3 of the 4 the lake is on two sides, so the room changes with the hour instead of doing one thing well at 6.

The stained glass is why people rebook this suite. Late in the afternoon the west windows throw coloured light across the floor and up the far wall — reds and greens, cut into shapes by the fretwork — and it moves. It takes about 40 minutes to cross the room, and then it is gone. You will not do anything else while it happens.
