The Glenburn Penthouse is an elegant, colonial in style boutique hotel with a delightful rooftop terrace and impressive views of Victoria Memorial. Located in the heart of historic Kolkata, occupying the top two floors of an office building in the heart of the city, the property looks humble from the outside, but will certainly not disappoint. There is a small spa offering treatments, a glass walled conservatory serving high tea and a graceful dining room serving a blend of colonial and Bengali delicacies. Each of the nine spacious suites have antique four-poster beds and 'white marble' bathrooms, equipped with bathtubs and walk-in showers, with lots of natural light. During your free time you can enjoy relaxing in the infinity pool or you are just a short walk from Victoria Memorial, the vibrant Maidan, and Park Street, a local hub for restaurants and bars.
This stunning residence is an absolute favourite stay for us in Calcutta. A hidden gem in the heart of the city boasting incredible landmark views where you step inside and are transported back to India's past.
