Located 25 km from the Airport in Alipore-the posh resedential area of the the city. A imposing atrium lobby and a vertical garden make this the most beautiful hotel in this part of the world. A member of the leading hotels of the world.The hotel is situated in the Elite area of Calcutta within easy reach of the city centre. Excellent service. Check in and out was quick and efficient. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. I like the dark wood in the entrance way. It gives the room a warm felling instead of the standard on color paint job found in a lot of hotel rooms. I enjoyed the free concert in the evening. It was relaxing and offered me a chance to sit down a bit to just chill. The food and service are very good. I had trouble getting to the pool even though I could see it from the resturant. The gym is the best gym I have seen in any hotel. They have the standards like bikes and running machines. They also have nice weight machines that work properly and a large number of free weights. The gym alone is one reason for returning because when I travel, finding a nice gym to work out in is almost impossible. I was most impressed when a staff member said good morning to me by name the day after I checked in.
