Frommer's Review

Space is something of a premium in Calcutta, and a stylish overhaul has transformed this tiny sliver of Park Street into a model of urban chic, the abode of choice for the likes of Penelope Cruz and Melanie Griffith. A five-star property, this boutique hotel is in the best downtown location, with proximity to both the business and entertainment hubs of the city. But the real reason many choose to stay here is the on-tap party: Like so many Park properties, this hotel has four top "after dark" destinations under one roof -- a pub, a nightclub, a cocktail bar, and a poolside alfresco bar lounge, providing easy access to the city's hippest, most happening nightlife. Guest rooms are small, but they're neat, functional, and bright, with bold color combinations. If you're in town for a while, book a Residence Room and you get a private lounge, a slightly larger bedroom with walk-in dressing room, stylish furniture, a thick mattress on a queen-size bed, a floor butler, and a Jacuzzi in the bathroom.

Facilities:
4 restaurants; pub; disco; pool; golf on request; health club/fitness center; travel desk; 24-hr. butler service; doctor-on-call, 24-hr. currency exchange; Wi-Fi enabled

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
