Entering a plush hotel makes the onlooker’s jaws drop at the opulence — think that pricey chandelier or the lavish carpet. Spending time indoors may also entail a pampering spa session, a refreshing dunk in the pool or sweating it out at the well-equipped gym. But, there are properties where you may find yourself at a library or an art gallery, which is different from typical experiences. Also, instead of regular furnishings, there are installations set up keeping the speciality of the place in mind. Here are some of them.

Le Meridien Goa, Calangute
This one is for the bookworms. If you don’t fancy stepping out, and want to be lost in an imaginarium, the Library Lounge is the place to be. The hotel has an extensive collection of titles, right from classics to poetry, for the guests staying there. The cosy setting only makes it better and you can immerse yourself in the literary world for hours!

As the guests enjoy a meal, they can also marvel at the artistic display on the walls of the hotel’s café. The collection includes paintings by Indian as well as international artists. Through their art, these creators give a glimpse into their experiences, individuality and creativity. The creations exhibit art forms from India and Vietnam and the diverse heritage of the two nations.
3. Vintage car

Aloft New Delhi Aerocity, New Delhi
This place is targeted at the yuppies and claims to be ‘different by design’. Tech meets form here and their out-of-the-box offering is the vintage car, Morris Eight, 1939 model. The installation dazzles the guests and is a funky feature that’s available here.
4. Water buffaloes copper figurines

Sheraton Grand Chennai Resort & Spa, Chennai
The emblem of this beachfront property is the water buffalo that’s a common sight along the Tamil Nadu capital’s East Coast Road. The sprawling place derives inspiration from sun, sand, sea and southern India. The architecture and design represent local elements of the city but the highlights here are the copper sculptures of water buffaloes.
5. Horse motif

Renaissance Bengaluru Race Course Hotel, Bengaluru
How about some horsing around on your holiday? Thanks to its proximity to the Turf Club, the hotel has all things horses here. Whether a life-size head of a stallion at the entrance or paintings along the corridor, you will be greeted by the powerful four-legged animal’s presence all over the place. What’s more, at the pub R Bar, you will find a gigantic wooden colt suspended from the ceiling.
