The Décor

The unveiling of a redesigned luxe collection for the 32 Club Eminence guest rooms, reception lobby, and lounge bar marks a harmonious fusion of old-world charm and modern simplicity steeped in the rich cultural tapestry of erstwhile Calcutta. The redesigned spaces at Peerless Hotel, Kolkata serve as a testament to the hotel's commitment to delivering an immersive experience for guests.

The interior design pays homage to Kolkata's colonial past, with high ceilings adorned with cornices and mouldings, windows that allow streams of sunlight to dance across wooden floors, and vintage chandeliers that cast a warm glow over meticulously curated furnishings. The walls are adorned with paintings capturing moments of a vibrant history, creating a visual narrative that unfolds erstwhile Calcutta. Classic furniture is tastefully juxtaposed with sleek, modern elements, creating a harmonious blend of the past and the present. The carefully chosen colour palette of black and ivory reminiscent of vintage Calcutta, is reflected elegantly across the guest rooms.
