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).
