The 20 “Pondichery” rooms – 50 sq. m on ground or first floor – are characterized by a sumptuous fuchsia or mauve lotus flower which seems to stick out of the cerused anise green or turquoise headboard of the king size bed in contrast with the cream walls and beige marbled floor. Indirect lighting enhances the vividly coloured silky cushions, the flimsy curtains draped along the ceiling and the wooden furniture – like this trunk treasure at the foot of the bed, this half-moon console desk below a huge mirror.
