And so it was that, like a phoenix rising from the literal ashes, the already unspeakably elegant venue only became more unspeakably elegant, with a full top-to-bottom refurb. On the ground floor, the Edwardian gentleman’s club vibe has been taken up a couple of notches: its colonial-era refinement has been upscaled with brass-buttoned leather seating, vintage steamer trunks, and polished dark timber. There are personal touches, like Grandmother Sethi’s antique barometer, alongside genuine hunting trophies from the Maharaja of Jodhpur. In the basement, the cocktail bar flaunts some striking Kashmiri chilli-red seating, and tiger-striped wooden walls covered in elegant art prints from the subcontinent. It’s also where you’ll find Gymkhana’s private dining rooms – two gorgeously cosy vaulted rooms where you can feast on your own bespoke banquet.
