Bob Fox’s Atrium-Centred Design

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.
