Unlike the cold, stark interiors of many hotels, On The House exudes the warmth of a home. Aradhna has succeeded in creating a haven filled with beautiful things that infuse a home with warmth and exquisiteness. She believes that a home should reflect the owner’s personality. So instead of blindly following the latest fads, she embarks on a journey to discover and interpret what her guests really want.
All the rooms have an individual theme and colour scheme, aesthetically created by putting together works of art that merge beautifully, creating a smooth transition from one room to the other, at the same time each room being absolutely different in concept and character.
Here you’ll discover many interesting knick-knacks, be it wooden figurines or puppets from South East Asia, or a collection of Indian paintings and brass idols.
While quite a few artifacts are from all over the world, a lot of them have also been created indigenously, whether it is the ethnic colourful mirror paneling at the entrance, or an entire door made out of old sari printing blocks, or the vibrant phulkari headboard behind an antique bed. Aradhna works closely with karigars – artisans – to transform her ideas and designs into objects d’art. The ancient warli art on the staircase leading to the apartment was created by an artist who was specially commissioned from Warli to create this. (Warli Art is a 400 years old tribal art form that originated in a village also known by the same name in Maharashtra, Western India,).
On The House has created a niche of its own, and Aradhna with her wonderful team are continuing to do what they do best… infusing the place with a heart and soul. And of course, creating a comfort zone for their guests that keeps them coming back for more.
