At Alipore Zoo, Bengal tigers lounge with aristocratic indifference while visitors press against barriers, phones aloft. Don't miss the evening aarti ceremony along the Hooghly River, where flames dance on water.

My birthday happened to fall during the time I was staying at the Swissotel Kolkata. I hadn't mentioned this to anyone at the hotel. However, the staff were so attentive in every way that they must have taken note of my birthday on my passport when we checked in and had a cake delivered to my room. It was very thoughtful and unexpected and serves as just one example of how closely the staff pays attention to detail.
