Art-Deco Ambience

Marble has remained one of the mainstays of timeless beauty in architecture as well as art through the decades.
Tap-dance your way in by swinging to jazz instruments and vocals through glistening passages of marble. From geometric glassware and powdery-pastel armchairs to rust-coloured sofas and golden-globe light shining onto a regal bar, this space can host up to 75 people. Paying tribute to Mumbai’s Art Deco movement, Indian Accent has seating that faces a grand dancing fountain, two Private Dining Rooms – one with a capacity of 18 and the other, 10 – and an interactive show kitchen. The walls are delicately peppered with UNESCO Indian heritage sites and curated art deco images by Cannes-winning photographer Rohit Chawla from Mumbai to lend romance and timelessness to the space. Streamlined and sleek forms along with geometric patterns of Art Deco and bold colours transform into a dramatic interior.
