This exquisitely restored and refurbished, 58-key floating hotel on the holy Ganges offers a bird’s-eye view of the river from every vantage point. The hotel’s all day multi-cuisine restaurant, The Bridge – Bistro Bar, offers a vast selection of modern and regionally inspired delicacies along with innovative cocktails and spectacular city views. The thoughtfully curated menu is based on three pillars – the Hotel Polo Towers Group`s rich North East heritage, old Calcutta favorites and the chef’s modern take on comfort food. 

The tastefully designed banqueting and conferencing spaces with independent access and breakaway rooms, is perfectly suited for corporate events and social gatherings. The hotel also boasts of impeccable lawns and open decks with incredible views, making it an ideal venue for weddings and intimate celebrations.

The boutique hotel offers a gamut of bespoke experiences like sunrise and sunset boat rides on the breezy Ganges along with tea and snacks on-board, guided walking tours showcasing the rich  history and culture of Calcutta  and romantic candle light dinners with panoramic views of the cityscape.
