Hidden away on the Ground Floor of the property, these rooms provide the perfect peace of mind one needs to enjoy Puri. An atmosphere of days gone by; it is like travelling back in time. These rooms offer a spell-binding interior, which is a testimony to the architectural genius who designed it during the Raj. Located in the more antiquated part of the building, one is fascinated by the Jack Arch Ceiling rarely found these days. Its just a short walk away from the Garden, Restaurant as well as the Lawns. Sample Art work of the ' Delhi Junction' room is displayed below - ( Left) Delhi Station immediately after independence, ( Center) Delhi station 1911, during the coronation durbar for King George V and Queen Mary ( right) The 'Grand Trunk' train enroute from Peshawar to Managalore arriving at Delhi Junction on 1st April 1929.
