In West Bengal’s Serampore, a former Danish colony, old landmarks are being restored back to life, recreating memories brick by brick
It is snooker night at The Denmark Tavern. Dressed in my weekend best, I wait for the ferry to take me across the Hooghly river. As the motor vessel glides to my destination, I see my friends waving from the grand balcony of the tavern.
The 10,000 square-feet property looks like a large yellow fondant cake. In its elegant new avatar, it houses a restaurant, bar, an outlet of the popular Flurys, and six cosy rooms all run by The Park.

Can the Royals revive the Jewel on the Hill?
While Lalitha Mahal Palace can be a luxurious Palace Hotel, the truly luxurious hotel in Mysuru, if revived, has to be the Rajendra Vilas Palace atop the Hill. It was and still can be a luxury hotel with a hill station feel in the heart of a city, an unmatchable USP.
Three years ago speaking to SOM, Pramoda Devi Wadiyar, ‘Trustee’ of the property, when asked if she was willing for a joint venture to run the Rajendra Vilas, she said, “I am willing to consider it and have had a discussion. However, my first priority is to retain the property. I do not want to relinquish the ownership at any cost. In the last three-and-a-half years, I have cleared a lot of liabilities. Today my ancestors and my husband can be proud of me.”
