Taj Bengal, Calcutta, India

Kolkata, India

As an icon of heritage luxury for over three decades, the Taj Bengal, Kolkata, underwent a significant renovation beginning in 2014, with Bobby Mukherrji Architects overseeing the design update. The project focused on carefully updating guest rooms, suites, and key public areas while meticulously preserving the hotel’s distinctive identity. The property's aesthetic derives its concept from the rajbaari style, merging colonial influences with regional Bengali elements. Striking checkered marble floors in the guest rooms pay homage to the city’s historic colonial residences, while specialty suites like the Peacock Suite were updated to strike a balance between traditional character and contemporary comfort. The refurbishment encompassed the hotel’s signature restaurants, including an enhanced Chinese dining experience at Chinoiserie. Subsequent stages will introduce updates to the spa, wellness areas, and dedicated chambers. By intertwining heritage details with current hospitality standards, the transformation solidifies Taj Bengal’s status as one of Kolkata’s most enduring and prestigious hotels. This approach ensures the property maintains strong resonance with both domestic and international visitors.
