This 20,130 sqft. boutique hotel is located midway between Science Park and Park Street in Kolkata. The 7-story building includes 45 guestrooms, a restaurant, and an event and conference space. The hotel chain, coming from a small town in Bengal (Siliguri), had to create a niche in the hustle-bustle of Kolkata. Located in a city rich in culture and tradition, Barsana had to be unique, reminiscent of its location, and yet fit into the budget.
The building despite its confined surroundings, size and height limitations, manages to create a strong presence in the area with its elegant and bold façade dressed with the organic and imperfect texture of the locally procured stone.
Each space is a sculpted volume with forms, colours, textures, materials, and lighting being brought together in a cohesive way to create its individual experience.

Art within a hotel has typically been secondary, however, in this case, the spaces have been threaded together through pictures of local elements of Kolkata, which, following an earthy and natural palette, are silent with just a splash of colour, bringing liveliness to the otherwise formal atmosphere.
