This discrete, elegant residence located in the heart of historic Kolkata has stunning landmark views and is filled with exquisite antique Bengal colonial furniture and art. The drawing and dining rooms are adorned with Hindoostan wallpaper depicting scenes of rural India from days gone by. The balcony and tea veranda overlooking Victoria Memorial are perfect for outdoor dining, and where breakfast and afternoon tea is served (weather permitting). The terraces are used most of the year, and have vintage fans, white wicker furniture, tropical plants, and marble floors.
