If like us, you too are dying to party now that the pandemic has loosened its grip slightly, here’s just the ‘perfect place in town’ for you. Reborn in a new avatar, PPT (Perfect Place in Town) resurrects the party spirit that has so long been curbed inside us and provides the perfect venue to unleash that energy.
“When we came to this place, it was a totally different look at that point of time and we started thinking, how can we make it one of the best. We want to keep it simple but attractive. We want people of all ages to enjoy their time here. Everything you get at an international club, you’ll also get at PPT. We want to be the best in Kolkata! Once they come, they’ll keep on coming!” said Subhojit Mondal, owner of PPT (Perfect Place in Town).
Inspired by the globe, the 350-seater lounge also presents a gourmet menu curated by Chef Vicktar Ghosh, featuring innovative dishes from cuisines like Italian, Indian, Mexican and more. The unique madrix lighting adds more fun to your night-out as you dance the night away. So channel your party animal and make the most of it at this party spot that re-opens on February 27.

The club-cum-lounge spread over 12,500sqft is divided into an in-house dining section and an exquisite green and open terrace. The stunning decor is a blend of the modern with maximal accents. We loved the elaborate gold-accented bar. Let the drinks pour!
Apart from going gaga over the teal blue, mirrored decor with floral motifs, we loved the garden-esque open terrace, a lounge area that marries nostalgia and modernity. Named ‘Orrizonte’, Latin for the horizon, the terrace blends the charm of Victorian decor as seen in old Kolkata and accents of the contemporary.
Enhance your lounging experience under street-style lamps, geometric and abstract decor, combined with cabanas to lounge in, all while soaking in the sight of the city skyline overlooking Salt Lake and surrounding waterbodies. You’re sure to be blown away with this one.
