Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels has entered into an agreement to manage the 232-year-old Denmark Tavern in Serampore, Kolkata.
Built in 1786, the hotel has been referred to as the oldest in India and has been under renovation since the last two years. The restored Tavern will have six rooms, a café, and will join The Park Collection brand of The Park Hotels. The Park Collection is described as “intimate, personalized, and tailored to transmit inimitable guest experiences”.
The two-storeyed structure by the Hooghly river is the place where the Danes had kept their flagstaff and cannons. The Tavern was a place to meet and stay for traders, clergy and travellers exploring Bengal.
The Park Hotels group comprises three brands – The Park, The Park Collection, and Zone by the Park, with properties across India, several of which are members of Design Hotels.
