The Bengal makes its highly anticipated return.
Reopened with breakfast, the new Bengal draws inspiration from both past and present. Organic, light-filled tones brighten the room and echo the surrounding garden just beyond its windows, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. Heritage-style beams remain as a tribute to the space’s history, while plush velvet seating introduces modern comfort and understated luxury. Come and experience the new era of The Bengal, where history, hospitality, and modern refinement come together.
