Restored and refurbished Polo Floatel opens doors in the City of Joy

Originally opened in 2007, the iconic Floatel has now been acquired by Hotel Polo Towers Group and rechristened as Polo Floatel

The upscale, full-service hotel features luxurious rooms, world class amenities and an international dining experience while paying homage to the hotel’s unique maritime style. Located atop a boat in the heart of the City of Joy, flanked by Howrah Bridge and the beautiful Vidyasagar Setu, the hotel is designed to provide a tranquil experience of sojourning on the banks of the holy Hooghly River.
“The all new re-imagined Polo Floatel preserves its maritime legacy and a sense of fun whilst providing the Polo Towers Experience that we are known for,” says Deval Tibrewalla, CEO, Hotel Polo Towers Group.
He further added, “We look forward to providing an immersive experience to our guests in Kolkata, both at The Bridge – Bistro Bar and through our bespoke leisure experiences. The Bistro, complete with extraordinary views of the serene river, nestled between the iconic Howrah Bridge and Vidyasagar Setu offers a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options along with dishes inspired by our North-Eastern heritage.”
The 58-key floating hotel on the holy Ganges offers a bird’s-eye view of the river from every vantage point. The hotel’s all day multi-cuisine restaurant, The Bridge – Bistro Bar, offers a vast selection of modern and regionally inspired delicacies along with innovative cocktails and spectacular city views. The thoughtfully curated menu is based on three pillars – the Hotel Polo Towers Group`s rich North East heritage, old Calcutta favorites and the chef’s modern take on comfort food.
The boutique hotel offers a gamut of bespoke experiences like sunrise and sunset boat rides on the breezy Ganges along with tea and snacks on-board, guided walking tours showcasing the rich  history and culture of Calcutta  and romantic candle light dinners with panoramic views of the cityscape.
