It got its name as many elephants once housed the gardens. 

The names of the hotel are inspired by spices and fragrances like pepper, lemon, saffron, citronella and vanilla. Filled with stunning views and historical significance, guests can enjoy many of its amenities.

Make sure you try the The Elephant Unstable cocktail at the bar or spend your free evenings at the living room watching some classic movies. The reading room will also keep you occupied on days when you do not feel like exploring.
