The unique location of the hotel and building requirements meant that only 2 floors of structure were permitted above the street level. What seems like a crippling restriction was turned into an opportunity to design a mesmerizing getaway with four private levels carefully carved into the hillside! The design allows the hotel to blend into the backdrop even while ensuring that view of travelers using the winding mountain road is as unhindered as possible. The four lower levels also offer sweeping views of the Kotmale reservoir, waterfalls in the distance and the greenery beyond.
