A Palm-Filled Atrium with Kolkata Civic History

Bob Fox’s Atrium-Centred Design

Designed by American architect Bob Fox, the property follows an atrium-centred urban hotel concept rather than a low-rise resort layout. Its visual identity includes a palm-covered lobby and terracotta statuary, creating a defined architectural language across the common areas.

A Contested Alipore Development

Construction extended for nearly five years and was delayed by protests concerning bird migration around the adjacent Alipore Zoo. The hotel was built at a reported cost of ₹45 crore and inaugurated by Jyoti Basu, then Chief Minister of West Bengal.

A Multi-Category Room Collection with Pool Views

196 Rooms and 28 Suites

Current hotel information lists 196 rooms and 28 suites, with accommodation categories that include twin, quad and suite options. This creates a broad inventory spanning conventional stays, suite accommodation and configurations for multiple occupants.

Balconies, Terraces and Butler Support

Some rooms have pool views, balconies or adjoining terraces, while public descriptions of the premium accommodation positioning associate the property with butler-on-call service. These features add private outdoor access and personalised assistance to selected stays.

From Sonargaon’s Regional Indian Menu to Winter Poolside Grilling

Named Restaurants Across Regional Cuisines

Souk serves Mediterranean cuisine at lunch and dinner. Sonargaon focuses on North-West Indian, Punjabi and Bengali food, while Chinoiserie is the Chinese dining venue. The Hub operates as a 24-hour coffee shop or international food theatre.

Poolside Refreshments and Function Lawns

The pool area is paired with a poolside bar or snack bar and seasonal poolside dining, including winter grilling. Outdoor event spaces include the Terrace Garden and Poolside Lawn.

Taj Spa Treatments, Steam and Fitness Facilities

Fitness and Business Infrastructure

Alipore’s Government, Diplomatic and Cultural Setting

Close to Kolkata’s Civic and Commercial Core

The hotel is in Alipore, one of Kolkata’s established southern districts, near government offices, consulates, commercial areas and major southern Kolkata landmarks. Its setting connects the property to the city’s administrative and diplomatic fabric rather than a purely tourist district.
