Reflecting the Indo-European design aesthetics of the time, the mansion was crafted with attention to detail, incorporating intricate woodwork, ornate archways, and exquisite stone carvings. Once the centre of business and social gatherings for the city’s elite, the House of MG was later converted into a heritage hotel, preserving its timeless appeal while offering guests an immersive experience of Gujarat’s royal past.
