Taj Bengal, Kolkata, an icon of heritage luxury for over three decades, underwent a significant renovation beginning in 2014. The project focused on carefully updating guest rooms, suites, and key public areas while preserving the hotel’s distinctive identity.

The design draws inspiration from the rajbaari aesthetic, a blend of colonial and local Bengali elements. Striking checkered marble floors in the guest rooms recall the city’s historic colonial homes, while suites such as the Peacock Suite were reimagined with a balance of traditional character and modern comfort. The renovation extended to the hotel’s signature restaurants, including a refreshed Chinese dining experience Chinoiserie, with upcoming phases set to include the spa, wellness areas, and chambers.

By weaving heritage details with contemporary hospitality standards, the renovation reinforces Taj Bengal’s position as one of Kolkata’s most enduring and prestigious hotels, ensuring it continues to resonate with both domestic and international guests.
