<P>the corbu style hotel next&nbsp;to&nbsp; Chanakya is by Shibnath Prasad.</P>
<P>this hotel is also now used as an office building inspite of being at one time no 1 in delhi, (upto misd seventies i think) run by ITDC as Akbar hotel, interiors for the first time done&nbsp;by professional (unlike ashoka, Oberoi of those days) </P>
<P>the Yaswant place complex, Akbar hotel , Chanakya Cinema and the plaza with eateries is&nbsp; modern heritage, must be passed on to next generation. Cant imagine anybody 40-50yrs not feeling nostalgic about the days spent in the courtyard beside Chanakya.&nbsp;</P>
<P>what will be required for this biography of a building ?&nbsp;</P>
