Among the primary reasons that have made the hotel into an existence of luxury, one of main ones has been its prodigious selection of cuisines from India and the continents adjacent to the land of the rising sun.

• Chinese
• Japanese
• Vietnamese
• Burmese

A guest at the HHI, Kolkata is certain to leave with positive memories of the Oriental Express and among the many reasons that can be given, the main ones are the quality of the food and the richness of the ambience and the surroundings.

The Hotel Industry Of Kolkata Now Features An Ideal Case Study: HHI, Kolkata

Hotels in Kolkata always prefer to recruit their staff from reputed hotel management institutes present in the city itself. Kolkata is well-known all over India for having some of the most well-known hotel-management institutes in the nation. Students of these institutes learn through a variety of ways and one of those ways involves the analyses of case studies. The latest case study for them shapes up around a luxurious hotel popularly known as the HHI, Kolkata.

HHI, Kolkata has been opened by the HHI Group of Hotels which also has hotels in the cities of:

• Varanasi
• Hyderabad
• Bhubaneswar
• Bengaluru
• Pune

Each of these hotels falls under the category of luxury hotels and have become synonymous with the splendid manner in which the HHI Group presents facilities and provisions to its guests. It would be correct to say here that the way in which these facilities and provisions is given is nothing but excellent.

The reason behind this excellence has been termed differently by different ‘pundits’ of the hotel industry. Some say that the diversity in the cuisines provided in the restaurants of these hotels is the reason while some hold the amenities provided as collectively responsible.

According to the former, restaurants like Kalash present in HHI, Kolkata define the excellence of the HHI Group through:

• Presenting a wide variety of cuisines
• Garbing the overall ambience in an aura that speaks of India’s cultural heritage
• Holding frequent food festivals themed on the culinary heritage from different regions of India

This claim has a lot of meat because the Kalash indeed provides a wide variety of cuisines:

• North Indian
• Bengali
• Luknowi
• Hyderabadi
• Mughlai

It also decorates its ambience using carpets, wall-to-wall hangings, and painting that give the essence of the bygone era.

Kalash is also famous among hotels in Kolkata and its residents for hosting food festivals at a frequency of once or twice in a month.

According to the latter, the reason shapes up in the way in which the ambience reminds one of the bygone era – for example, Aaangan, the pride of the HHI, Varanasi has been decorated using old-school designs, carvings in addition to old-school fashion choices in terms of furnishing.

Time will tell whether the HHI, Kolkata among the hotels in Kolkata and India will achieve a phenomenal case study containing luxury, richness, diversity and elegance as its main attributes.

HHI: A Hotel Chain Studded With Nostalgia

A blog on the HHI, Kolkata always tends to write an ode to either of its two restaurants: Kalash and Oriental Express. This tendency conveys the undertones of a Bacchanalian writer; however, it would be nothing short of a folly to judge the writer in this fashion. After all, the HHI’s hotel is one of those hotels in Kolkata that presents one delicious reason after another for guiding the brains towards the act of selecting one’s favorite dish; for example, the ‘Lahori Aloo’ in Kalash or the ‘Yakitori Tutu’ in the Oriental Express.

A look at the details of the menu of the Oriental Express does quite a bit of justice towards proving the helplessness of the brain!

• Dumplings have always been favorites among a large number of people irrespective of nationality. A person at the Oriental Express gets the chance to enjoy the succulent ‘Dimsum’, which, technically, is a chicken-based dumpling but stuffed with veggies and accompanied with a variety of dips.

• Tofu has always been associated with the Ming dynasty of China and the Japanese Samurai. The latter according to a large number of folklore preferred tofu-based dishes for their lunch and dinner. At the Oriental Express, if a samurai were to drop in, then he would feel completely at home due to the presence of the ‘Chicken Takrai’ – a dish created out of battered tofu, chicken, basil, garlic, and an ingredient called ‘holy basil’ drooped in a tangy and extremely spicy sauce.

• The Oriental Express also provides sushi in an assorted platter through their bento boxes. It provides a total of four bento boxes:

o Vegetable bento box
o Oriental non-vegetarian bento box
o Vegetarian Sushi bento box
o Non-vegetarian Sushi bento box

In addition to the Oriental Express, the number of eateries present in the hotels in Kolkata serve a negligible fan following. Again the HHI, Kolkata scores absolutely high over its brethren in this regard.

In this respect, the HHI, Kolkata becomes the first choice of any guest who sets down to search the ideal choice among the hotels in Kolkata.

The former features one of the most spacious dance floors in Kolkata while the latter is well-known for stocking rare brands of spirits.

The HHI Group operates four other hotels in Pune, Varanasi, Hyderabad and Bengaluru apart from Kolkata. However, the common thread that binds all these hotels is the fact that the management of each hotel has invested lots of time and intellect into figuring out the way in which the hotels present the culture of their adjacent states. For example, the HHI, Varanasi has resurrected the elegance and the richness of the North-West frontier through its restaurant called Aangan.

Similarly, the HHI, Kolkata presents the cultural richness of the state of West Bengal through presenting some of the signature culinary preparations of the state, for example, ‘Kachalanka diye Kasha Mangsho’ and ‘Chingdir Malai curry’.

Another feature which differentiates the HHI, Kolkata from the other luxury hotels in Kolkata is its frequent hosting of food festivals – in fact, the hotel normally organizes a festival within every three months.

These features have convincingly put forth the potential of this hotel of the HHI Group of serving its guests in absolute perfection.

HHI, Kolkata: When Coffee Became More Than Just Steaming Cup!

Coffee is well-known as a stress-buster and has been drunk across the world in many countries since a long time. For example, the cowboys in the USA of 1800s used to wake up by drinking a scalding cup of black coffee. The Australians, especially the rangers in the Outback, made it a habit to stay awake whenever the need arose by drinking coffee. Coffee for Indians is a ‘foreign drink’ that has been ‘customized’ by people living in its Southern part. In the Eastern part, drinking coffee has become synonymous with spending an enjoyable time at Mythh – the coffee shop of the HHI, Kolkata, one of the luxurious hotels in Kolkata.

Mythh (the spelling is intentional) has become the brand identity of coffee shops around Kolkata to the extent that famous coffee chains like Café Coffee Day and Barista are rethinking their marketing strategies for pulling in customers who are increasingly preferring to visit Mythh instead.

The USP of Mythh lies in the fact that it is more than just a shop that serves coffee. Rather, it serves edible fantasies hailing from three different regions of the planet: India, Pan Asia and Europe.

Further, it tears down the notion of conventionality by serving drinks at its zesty bar called ‘Onyx’. What makes it more interesting is the fact that the bar behaves like an expert one by providing a vast range of options in terms of stereotypical brands and unconventional ones – both drinks and cocktails.

Coffee shops present at the hotels in Kolkata are nothing something new at all – since the time of ‘VAT 69’, they have been in existence. In fact, during those bygone days, coffee shops used to be strictly dedicated to serving coffee along with a few bites to eat like Sandwich and Burger.

Today, the situation in the coffee-shop scenario in Kolkata is one that features Mythh and its brethren serving foods and drinks in addition to coffee and pastries.

This blog would be incomplete without mentioning another endeavor of Mythh – the hosting of food and beverage events! It has recently organized the Saturday Supper & Sunday Luncheon.
