The name is also derived from the Coromandel tree (Kalpavriksha in Sanskrit), which, according to legend, has the power to grant any wish to a person who is under its shade.

This, having a metaphorical reference to any guest who visits the hotel being granted anything that he or she wished for during the stay, is also cited as a reason for naming so.

It also has a Jacuzzi, additional guest bathroom, a separate dining area, a dressing room with 3-way mirrors and a pantry spread over 1,500 sq ft, and a private valet.
