Taj Bengal in Calcutta is only 10 minutes from the city center. It is in an exclusive green area in Alipore and looks over the National Library, Race Course, and the Victoria Memorial. The hotel features 229 guestrooms, all with today’s latest gadgets: coffee makers, direct dial connections, electronic safes, satellite television, wireless Internet access, and DVD players. You cannot find fault in the interiors either, as they show well-crafted Indian themes and designs.
Guests can choose between rooms that face either the city or the pool. The hotel’s meeting rooms can hold a capacity of up to 1000 guests. These rooms are flexible and can be used for conferences, banquets, conventions, and other events. Taj Bengal’s swimming pool, gym, Jacuzzi, and sauna are sought after by local and international guests as well.
Taj Bengal’s restaurants serve Asian and European fare on casual and fine dining menus. There are nine restaurants in all: Chambers Restaurant (contemporary European cuisine), Grill By the Pool ( al fresco dining by the pool), Chinoiserie (authetic Cantonese and Schezwan specialties), Junction Bar (rare whiskeys and spirits), La Patisserie and Deli (sumptuous desserts), Sonargaon (Punjab and Bengali food), Souk (Eastern Mediterranean food), The Hub (international food with an Italian bent), and the Promenade Lounge (tea and coffee).
Designed by famous architect Bob Fox, Taj Bengal stands out with its imposing façade and contemporary architecture. Its atrium, however, is classical in theme. Taj Bengal’s interiors house antiques and modern art works.
