The Hotel

I'm staying at a hotel in Pune called LeMeridien. When you approach the hotel from the street, you need to go up a steep driveway and go right to get dropped off at the entrance. There is always a door man wearing a tan outfit and hat to greet you and open the door. The hotel is beautiful - and the main floor when you walk in is all marble. When you first walk in, there is often a beautiful colored sand art on the ground that is protected by a little fenced in area before you walk down stairs to the main lobby. You look straight ahead and there is a 'tea/coffee' sitting area. Off to the right is the front desk and a set of stairs that would take you up to a bar/lounge or a set of stairs on the side to take you to the gift shop, and to the left is a set of stairs that would take you to 2 of the restaurants with a bank of elevators at the base. There are 3 restaurants - one Thai/Chinese, one Indian, and another Continental. There is a table at the main restaurant that is a nice place to sit - it overlooks the lobby and lets you look outside.
