Delta Suites

A luxury hotel in a steel town that never expected one.

Durgapur, West Bengal · 2014 · 25 suites

Durgapur is an industrial city built around steel, and a boutique hotel was not an obvious idea. That is exactly why it needed one. We turned three floors of offices above a Tanishq store into 25 suites, and added SkyDine, a rooftop restaurant lit by daylight through a carefully planned skylight, with no glare and no extra heat. Insulated glass keeps cooling costs low, and white aluminium cladding keeps the corner building clean from every side. A guest once sent a photo of SkyDine to a friend abroad. The friend asked which part of the world it was in. That is the only review that matters.
