by EW Fritchley under the commission of Wodeyar IV, to host his most important guests including the Viceroy of India, the hotel still plays host to visiting dignitaries and VIPs. The "Renaissance" architectural style, with its twin Ionic columns & a dome, exhibits concepts from English manor houses & Italian palazzos. The central dome is believed to be modeled on St. Paul's Cathedral in London.
