Architecture+DesignSummary: Once a palatial home to an aristocratic Zamindar family, this property has been skilfully restored to reflect in ambiance, feel and experience a typical 18th century Zamindar mansion, integral to Bengal’s glorious history and culture. The mansion is replete with antiques, rich tapestry and traditional architectural influences, and in addition is the fabulous service and hospitality. This 300-year-old palace was once the home to the famous Mondals of Bengal who had land grants, which go back to the time of Akbar. Recently, the magnificent but the crumbling mansion has been taken over by the businessman client Ajay Rawla who has taken up the initiative of turning up the ruined mansion the into a heritage hotel.
There are 30 rooms and suites and the high ceiling and romantic four poster beds make perfect setting for idyllic getaway. A pool, spa, library, conference room and private dining rooms are a part of the facilities. This 3.5 acre estate has two ponds and is lushly green. Presently four rooms have been renovated and are open to public. The open area consisting of a dining hall and two drawing rooms have also been renovated but keeping the old rustic look alive. The terrace above the courtyard has also been modified.
