The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group has expanded its foot-print in Kolkata.
The Great Eastern was unveiled as The Lalit Great Eastern on 19 November. The inauguration ceremony was led by West Bengal’s Chief Minister and Dr Jyotsna Suri, Chairperson & Managing Director of The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group. The heritage landmark which was initially established on 19 November 1840, will now re-open in two phases. After being bought over by The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group, the property has gone through extensive renovations and restorations.
Speaking on the occasion, Banerjee said, “The heritage property will conquer the minds and touch the hearts. The Lalit Great Eastern Kolkata has my support and best wishes for their goal. The Great Eastern was popular, is popular and will remain popular.”
