| From the outside, with its enormous windows and columned entrance, the hotel is most impressive. |
| One of its other lodges, which has a stylish curved columned front, was converted into self-catering holiday accommodation. |
| Of particular interest was a room containing 30 columns, regarded by some scholars to be the forerunner of the Achaemenian columned hall. |
| His interiors combine domes, columned screens, and apses with classically derived surface patterns in delicate colors. |
| Its ground plan too was almost square shaped and it also boasted a columned hall. |
| The grand columned audience hall is the archetypal feature of Achemenid architecture, and was intended to overwhelm visiting satraps and clients. |
