The ITC Royal Bengal, Kolkata, is still to open doors formally. We bring you an exclusive sneak peek.

Ruling The Roost

As a city, Kolkata today is like a digitally-filtered black and white photo on an Instagram post; nostalgic about a proud past but valiantly foisting a modern rendering on a contemporary medium. Much of that whimsical dichotomy makes its way to the hub of ITC’s hospitality juggernaut in the city of joy; one that expresses itself as two hotels but one experience with the freshly minted ITC Royal Bengal. Towering over it’s well-loved sibling ITC Sonar, the new property is located within a whisper of the old one. In fact, it has claimed the three-hole golf course that was once part ITC Sonar’s well-kept grounds as birthing territory. Although both hotels, sprawling across 16 acres in the city’s new nerve centre, share a familial similarity in terms of ethos and sensibility, the aesthetic is visibly distinct.
