The Hotel, a 4 star world class urban
resort, floats on the River Hooghly only a hundred yards from the
shore.The Hooghly river is a center-point of Indian history and the
Floatel on the Hooghly today, between the two Howrah Bridges, brings
back that history in its splendor, a time when Calcutta was in her
finest glory.
The 61 room Floating Hotel is based on the concept of combining the best
qualities of a luxury cruise ship with the beauty of a world class hotel
permanently anchored in the City Centre of Calcutta. The land along the
Floating Hotel consists of a promenade walkway by the river (the only
one of its kind in the city), a beautifully landscaped garden, centrally
air-conditioned reception areas, open air banquet halls (ideal for
weddings, book-launches, music concerts or business parties), a
promenade deck (ideal for parties, events, celebrations, meetings). All
in all, The Floatel is the only City Centre Urban Resort in India. The
Floatel is one of the properties of Manor Floatel Limited, Calcutta.
India's only Floating Hotel has been conceived, designed, constructed
and built in Calcutta by Mr. Manab Pal, Managing Director, Manor Floatel
Limited who worked tirelessly for many years and against huge odds to
create an exquisite unique river-front environment in Calcutta because
he strongly believed that a city as progressive in its ideas as
Calcutta, needed a hotel as unique and spectacular as The Floatel.
A Floating Hotel is simply a hotel floating on water. The Floatel does
not move, it does not sail down a river like a ship, it remains in its
wonderful location on the edge of River Hooghly with spectacular views
of the river and the charms of this old colonial cultural city. The
Floatel in Calcutta is based on the concept of a Super Luxury Cruise
Liner permanently anchored in the City Centre of Calcutta with a huge
shore infrastructure to provide essential life-lines like fresh water,
Electricity and sewerage disposal system. The hotel is also entirely
environmentally friendly, using global standards of environmentally
conscious tourism as the basis for all services. The Floating Hotel
concept is a new development in offshore accommodation systems and used
world- wide.
Location:
The Floatel, while located on the
river-side, is in the heart of business activity in Calcutta. Talking
about the City Skyline, the Floatel Rooms and the Restaurants overlook
the colonial buildings like The Calcutta High Court which was the
original Supreme Court of India founded in 1757, the Town Hall, Central
Secretariat Building and the World famous Eden Gardens - a center of
International Cricket.

next to the river provide a wonderful location for a variety of events.

Seine for your private function.

views, river walks and dinner under the stars.
