Suddenly there was a piercing noise, startling us back to the present. It was evening and a lady in a red bordered sari was blowing on a conch shell after lighting an earthen lamp in front of a small altar containing a Tulsi bush, located in one corner of the courtyard. The spell woven around us by the narrator ably assisted by the thematic décor of the grand mansion was broken.
Carved out of Swabhumi, an erstwhile entertainment zone, the property, spread over a 13-acre campus, has been built around a fictional representation of 19th century Bengal. Conceptualised by architect Vivek Rathore, the entire hotel is spread over multiple ground levels where a deliberate attempt has been made to create changing sight lines and perspectives to keep alive the explorative and intriguing character of the design.
The hotel proper is designed like a grand double storied mansion with an enclosed courtyard the sense of vintage created through colonnaded verandas, balconies with cast iron railings and louvered shades, fenestrations, etc. The majority of the rooms were designed after the life and passions of the fictional occupants with four poster beds, some with curtains, faux hand-pulled fans, designer mirrors and other period furniture. The lighting of the lamp and the blowing of the conch-shell was also reminiscent of a centuries old daily ritual practised even now in many Hindu Bengali homes.

When Johnny brought us back to the hotel with our purchases, I wasn't sure what to pay him. His reply was, "Whatever you give, I take with open hand." I slipped him a 100-rupee note, which he pocketed without looking at it. "Meherbani," he said, bowing his thanks with palms touched together, Indian style.
He normally started work about 8 a.m., but this day at 9 a.m. he wasn't
at his usual spot outside the hotel. Maybe he already had a client. At
10 a.m., still no Johnny. The concierge offered to send a bellhop to look for him. An hour later the bellhop returned to say he was nowhere to be found, but several porters had told him Johnny hadn't come to work today because he "went to visit his home village," "drank too much last night," "took one of his kids to the clinic." All the porters, of course, eagerly offered their own services.
