The Floatel

This is an urban resort, floating on the River Hooghly only 100 yards from the shore. The River Hooghly is a centre-point of Indian history and the hotel brings back that history in all its splendour, harking back to a time when Calcutta was in her finest glory. The 61-room floating hotel is based on the concept of combining the best qualities of a luxury cruise ship with the beauty of a world-class hotel permanently anchored in the city centre of Kolkata. The grounds consist of a promenade walkway by the river, a beautifully landscaped garden, centrally air-conditioned reception areas with a 24-hour reception desk, open-air banquet halls and a promenade deck. The hotel also provides a hotel safe, currency exchange facilities, a cloakroom, lift access, a hairdressing salon, a TV lounge, conference facilities, Internet access (fees apply) and a car park. For dining and drinks, guests can enjoy the on-site bar, restaurant and night club. Room and laundry services are on offer as well (fees apply for both).

All rooms have state-of-the-art facilities, including central air conditioning, 24-hour Internet access and the world-class amenities which business travellers and tourists expect of a global hotel. Every room has a breathtaking view of the river and the city, due to the hotel's riverside location. Each room has a private bathroom with a shower and bathtub. Among many others, room amenities include direct dial telephone, satellite/cable TV, minibar and tea and coffee making facilities.

The Bridge, a 24hours multi-cuisine restaurant serves the choicest in Indian, Tandoor, Oriental, Continental, Mexican, and Italian cuisine. Guests can relax in the Anchorage Tavern Lounge, and can also enjoy a game of pool or a game of dart

The hotel has a new billiards and snooker room, sauna and steam room (fees apply for all). Guests may also make use of the new table tennis room and gym. For a fee, guests may relax with a massage.
