Set in the heart of Kolkata, this stately manor hotel will enfold one in the time of the Great Bengal Rennaissance. The rich, experiential slice of Kolkata's colonial history is faithfully recreated across Raajkutir's 33 rooms and 13.5 acres of lush green expanse.
Raajkutir is designed on the lines of a traditional Bengali 'Raajbari' - a style of architecture that defined the sprawling homes of wealthy landowners. The hotel is built around a vast traditional 'Uthon' (courtyard). The entrance is flanked by sculptures of lions depicting royalty. A majestic rural Botthhtola with sacred threads hanging from an old Banyan tree and a Durga idol, harks back to a typical welcome setting of the nineteenth century. Vintage artefacts like a huge brass pradip and a life-size horse carriage are strewn around the property like souvenirs of a forgotten time. Ever so gently, the aura of the opulent mansion and grounds will draw one into the grandeur of times past.
