I know you eat rice and curry with hands, but is it okay to do this at a fancy hotel restaurant?

It is perfectly fine! Even at a high-end restaurant, eating rice and curry with your hands is culturally celebrated as the proper way to experience the food.

Don't worry about it. People will actually respect you more for embracing the culture.

The waiters will always bring you a finger bowl with warm water and lime after you finish, so it's totally expected.
