THE KEY TO ART

TILAR SIRO-CGH EARTH, HAVELOCK ISLAND

At this Andamans hotel, Kerala-based artist Rajeev Valsala Kumaran has upcycled metal scrap left over from its construction to create pieces inspired by the island's flora, fauna, and marine life. The pieces are scattered across the two-and-a-half-acre property, setting up a fun treasure hunt for guests.cghearth.com

SOUKYA, BENGALURU

The art that adorns Soukya's walls reflects its wellness philosophy. The theme emanates from founder Dr Issac Mathai's office, where an MF Husain painting of Mother Teresa-a silhouette of her in her signature white sari with a blue border, with an infant on her lap-points to the importance of care.soukya.com 

THE KHYBER HIMALAYAN RESORT & SPA, GULMARG

Photographs displayed across the property spotlight the artisans of Kashmir and their dying craft. Vanishing Hands, the series by Kashmiri photographer Faheem Qadri, offers a glimpse into the world of pottery, pashmina embroidery, and intricate wicker weaving that these artists have mastered over generations. khyberhotels.com

TAJ THEOG RESORT & SPA, SHIMLA

Replicating the frosted cones that form on of tops after snowfall, small wooden pieces deck up a wall of the lobby at the property. It is an homage to the delicate woodwork that has been part of Himachali architecture and can be seen in temples like the Hadimba Devi Temple, the palaces of Naggar, and the balconies of local homes. tajhotels.com 

SKYVIEW BY EMPYREAN, PATNITOP

This one's for the motorheads. The 1971-72 model Willys Jeep parked on the property has been a star attraction for years. The US-imported car has been lovingly restored and is sure to keep automobile enthusiasts occupied. skyviewbyempyrean.com
