Travel THE MAJESTIC HOTEL KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA In its heyday, The Majestic was touted the grandest hotel in the city for its prestige and luxury. Why wouldn't it when it was favoured by the colonial elite and prominent international visitors for extravagant parties, Sunday curry tiffin lunches and afternoon tea with dancing. A national heritage site, the original hotel was built and designed in 1932 by Dutch architectural firm Keyes and Dowdeswell for the trustees of the estate of Loke Wan Tho, the youngest son of the Chinese businessman and philanthropist Wong Loke Yew. As Wong was one of the founding fathers of Victoria Institution (VI), one of the oldest schools in the country, the hotel played an important part in the lives of former VI students as the Victoria Institution Old Boys' Association used to hold its annual dinner and dance on the rooftop balcony of the hotel. However, by the 1970s, the hotel had more competition from other hotels and soon lost its charm. It was only in 2012 that the hotel reopened after a prominent developer refurbished the old wing and added a new wing, allowing the hotel to reposition its glamour, heritage and success since its early days. THE OBEROI GRAND HOTEL KOLKATA, INDIA Dating back to the late 1880s, the hotel was frequented by the country's leading figures during colonial times and till this very day, it hosts grand functions for Heads of State in the city's largest Grand Ballroom. Situated near the central business district, bustling markets and cultural landmarks,The Oberoi Grand Hotel lobby is also known for its more than a century old wooden handmade piano and grand chandelier. It was the first hotel to be acquired by The Oberoi Group Founder, Rai Bahadur MS Oberoi. Today, the hotel is known for its classic style and modern facilities, traditions that were upheld over the years. 58
