Glenburn Penthouse is a real gem, a boutique hotel with nine lavish suites set in the heart of historic Kolkata, a short walk from the famous Victoria Memorial. The hotel occupies the top two floors of an office building, and from this vantage point there are wonderful sweeping views over the city.

During your stay, you can take in the main sites, with the option of guided tours, visit museums, stroll along Park Street and rub shoulders with locals at the bustling markets. You should get a good feel for life in the present-day city, as well learning about its interesting past.

The hotel provides a retreat from the busy city. Relax in the drawing-room, peruse a book in the library and dine on creative cuisine, all while enjoying the beautifully furnished and decorated surroundings. The wallpaper was specially designed in Paris and depicts rural scenes from the India of yesteryear, the furniture is elegant and fine artworks adorn the walls. The overall feel is of gracious living from a bygone era. Outdoor areas include a courtyard and a rooftop terrace with a sundeck and inviting rim-flow pool, all with superb views.

Suites are spacious and their style mirrors that of the communal areas, with carved wooden bedsteads and attractive textiles. Each has a sitting area and some have a balcony or terrace. Louvred shutters allow you to admit just the right degree of light. Your bathroom features a bath as well as a walk-in shower, and you have a supply of Glenburn toiletries. The marble tiled floor is a classic touch,
