RARE IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND BREAKFAST MENU CARD !! The Great Eastern Hotel (officially Lalit Great Eastern Hotel) is a colonial era hotel in the Indian city of Kolkata (formerly Calcutta). The hotel was established in 1840 or 1841; at a time when Calcutta, the seat of the East India Company, was the most important city in India. Referred to as "the Jewel of the East" in its heyday, Great Eastern Hotel hosted several notable persons visiting the city. After India's independence in 1947, the hotel continued its business but went into decline during the Naxalite era of West Bengal; later the state government took over the management. In 2005 it was sold to a private company and was reopened in November 2013 after an extensive renovation. The hotel, closed for a number of years, is undergoing extensive renovations and was partially opened with a soft launch as the Lalit Great Eastern Hotel on 19 November 2013.[9] The building is registered as a heritage structure and the renovations are expected to maintain essential features of the building such as its facade and the grand staircase.[10] The hotel has been divided into three parts - Heritage I, Heritage II and New Block.
