"Aside from the fact that the ITC Grand Bharat is architecturally magnificent—the sprawling half-square-mile complex of blush-hued sandstone blocks looks like a medieval fortress—guests love the all-suite resort's elegant Peacock Bar, inspired by India's national bird. Wooden panels carved into the shape of the multi-colored bird frame the bar, where you're well-advised to pull up a chair and enjoy the 'bar theater' (an expert molecular mixologist may use liquid smoke in the making of your perfect drink)." - CNT Editors, Betsy Blumenthal
