Located in downtown Calcutta on Strand Road, Polo Floatel Kolkata is the first-ever floating hotel of Calcutta, situated on River Hooghly. More than a decade old, the uniquely designed hotel is still a place of fancy with its al fresco sky deck giving sunset views, the anchorage giving the chance to hop into a boat ride and the street-view and city-view rooms allowing a comfortable stay. It is an ideal rejuvenating staycation spot in the city when time is a constraint and vacation isn’t an option. The Telegraph explores some scenic stops in the property with designer Anupam Chatterjee’s latest swimwear and resortwear launch.
The summer launch from this stylist-designer’s den Warssi Kolkata is all about playing around with colours and fabrics. Skipping the usual fabrics used in swimwear for practicality purposes, the designer styled the collection in vibrant hues of comfy cotton prints to offer a variety to choose from for the perfect Insta-worthy vacation or staycation. With social media platforms booming and people making memory albums on these platforms out of every vacation or staycation, these are ideal styles to sport for the long beach walks or spending a day by the river, designed keeping comfort in mind.
