Bangalore: When rock star Bryan Adams is in town for his Third Time Lucky show on Sunday, he will be staying where heads of state and royalty have stayed.

The Presidential Suite at Taj West End has been given a new "southern look" for his visit, complete with flower decorations, incense, candles and Indian sweets. The same building, on other suites, accommodated the King of Sweden, President of the Netherlands, the Prince of Dubai, actor Shah Rukh Khan and, of course, Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits.

Special jacuzzi

The Gothic-Victorian structure dates back to the earliest days of the hotel. The bath includes a special jacuzzi tub and there is a "plunge pool" on the ground floor level.

Bryan Adams will be received with nadaswaram and drums and draped with a traditional shawl. He will be treated to food which suits his vegan sensibilities. Executive Chef Sandeep Kachroo has arranged fruits of exotic varieties, such as rambuthan and mangosteen.

Dessert from the south

Breakfast dishes, such as Hare Moong ka Chilla and Tomato Omelette, will be served. Lunch and dinner will include Indian, Vietnamese, and Mediterranean cuisine but the dessert will be from deep South: Ada Pradaman. To celebrate the visit, the West End will host a Bryan Adams Night at its Blue Bar, of course, with canned music from his albums.

Set apart from the rest of the hotel, the suite can be reached directly by car and assures Adams complete privacy.

Whether some of his die-hard fans still reach him remains to be seen.

Performing along with a band, Bryan Adams will enthral crowds here with classic hits.
