History of Hyatt Regency
Kolkata
The hotel was opened on 10 August 2002 and
was the first five star hotel in Bidhannagar
(known locally as Salt Lake City), a planned
satellite town in the Indian state of West
Bengal. Bidhannagar was developed between
1958 and 1965 to accommodate the burgeoning
population of Kolkata, the state capital.
The hotel was constructed on the Eastern
Metropolitan Bypass, a major road on the east
side of Kolkata that connects Salt Lake in the
Northeast to the southern parts of Kolkata. The
road was designed to bypass the eastern side of
Kolkata to lessen the perennial traffic congestion
in the area.

History of Hyatt
Founded by Jay Pritzker in 1957, when he purchased
the Hyatt House Motel adjacent to Los Angeles
International Airport. Over the following decade Jay
Pritzker and his younger brother Donald Pritzker,
working together with other Pritzker family business
interests, grew the company into a North American
management and hotel ownership company which
became a public company in 1962. In 1968, Hyatt
International was formed and subsequently became a
separate public company. Hyatt Corporation and
Hyatt International Corporation were taken private by
the Pritzker family business interest in the year 1972
and 1982 respectively. On December 31st, 2004,
substantially all of the hospitality assets owned by
Pritzker family business interests, including Hyatt
Corporation and Hyatt International Corporation, were
consolidated under, now named Hyatt Hotels
Corporation.
Hyatt International is a fast growing company, and its
history has been equally fast moving and exciting.
1954-Hyatt Von Dehn opened his first hotel, the
“HYATT HOUSE” opposite to Los Angeles International
Airport.
1957-Jay Pritzker was the original founder of Hyatt
back in 1957. On one of his many business trips,
when he arrived in Los Angeles, being very tired and
hungry and having lots of time in hand prior to his
appointment, he went to the
nearest local hotel “HYATT HOUSE” to pass the time
and have breakfast in a restaurant called Fat Eddie’s.
Mr. Pritzker was so impressed with both the food and
the service, a thought started forming in his mind. Mr.
Pritzker made some enquiries and found that the
hotel belonged to Mr. Hyatt Von Dehn, a Californian
real estate investor.
In the dynamic style that was to become synonymous
with the word Hyatt, Mr. Pritzker bought both the
hotel and the name “HYATT” before the end of his
short trip. HYATT HOTELS CORPORATION was
therefore born and over the next twelve years, Hyatt
Hotels grew in size and reputation, initially at airport
locations and later at city centers.
1969-It was however not until 1969 with the opening
of HYATT REGENCY, Hong Kong, that Hyatt became
an international company, opening its first hotel
overseas. Under the management of HYATT
INTERNATIONAL HOTELS, Hyatt went on to expand
into many locations, including Manila and the
Philippines and Acapulco in Mexico.
1972-In 1972, HYATT INTERNATIONAL opened what
was then its largest hotel with 700 rooms, HYATT
REGENCY, Singapore. Since then, HYATT
INTERNATIONAL HOTELS overseas has grown and
developed. The largest HYATT INTERNATIONAL
HOTEL, now, in terms of number of rooms is GRAND
HYATT, Taipei, in Taiwan with 850 rooms.

1979-Both companies kept growing at an impressive


rate. In the United States, HYATT HOTELS
CORPORATION carves an image of luxury and service
that captures the imagination of the American
traveler. Abroad, HYATT INTRNATIONAL
CORPORATION competes successfully for the
international market by operating hotels in over 28
countries, with different cultures, languages and
currencies.
1985-In addition to uncontested leadership in the city
center hotel market, Hyatt firmly enters the American
resort market with the opening of the magnificent
HYATT REGENCY Grand Cyprus in Orlando, Florida.
1986-Australis becomes focus for further growth.
From October 1986, Hotels open in Melbourne,
Canberra, Queensland, Adelaide, and Perth.
1988-Brand names are introduced to differentiate
between the different styles of properties and assist
with the marketing of these hotels. GRAND HYATT,
HYATT REGENCY, PARK HYATT AND HYATT RESORTS.
1989-HYATT INTERNATIONAL is selected as the best
hotel chain of the year. With determination to
provide the finest guest services, accommodation,
food and amenities in locally inspired settings, Hyatt
International continues aggressive development
internationally. New hotels are planned within a plan
of selective development and are positioned in
strategic city and resort locations around the world.
The first HYATT INTERNATIONAL GRAND HYATT
opened in Hong Kong, The GRAND HYATT Hong
Kong.
1990-HYATT HOTELS open in Birmingham (England),
Taipei, Xian and Sydney.
1991-Indonesia represents a significant location for
Hyatt’s continuing expansion, with GRAND HYATT’S
opening in Jakarta and Bali early in the year.
1995-HYATT INTERNATIONAL enters the CIS market
with a new hotel in Baku, Azerbaijan.
1997-Additional two hotels in Indonesia, Ban dung,
and Yogiakarta are the prime focus.
1998-Germany represents a significant location with
new hotels in Hamburg, Mainz and Berlin. HYATT
REGENCY, SINGAPORE was renamed GRAND HYATT
after completing extensive renovations, which
qualifies the hotel to join the growing number of
GRAND HYATT HOTELS.
1999-HYATT opens its first hotel in Sharm El Sheikh,
Egypt and the second hotel in Baku, Azerbaijan, the
PARK HYATT, Baku.
2000-Hyatt’s expansion continues with two new
hotels in South Asia, GRAND HYATT, Delhi, India and
HYATT REGENCY, Katmandu, Nepal.
2001-HYATT INTERNATIONAL opens various hotels
such as the HYATT REGENCY, Warsaw in Poland,
GRAND HYATT, Beijing in People’s Republic of China,
HYATT REGENCY, Hua Hin in Thailand and Park Hyatt
Mendoza in Argentina.
2002-Focus continues in the South Asia Region with
the opening of HYATT REGENCY, Kolkata, HYATT
REGENCY, Mumbai, and HYATT REGENCY, Goa.
With the determination to be recognized as the most
successful provider of management service s to
international deluxe hotels and mixed use estate
developments and to provide the finest guest
services, accommodation, food and amenities in
locally inspired settings. HYATT INTERNATIONAL
plans further expansion including over 30 hotels and
10,000 new rooms during the next several years.
The future is bright for HYATT INTERNATIONAL with
hotels planned in many new countries. Hyatt
International is constantly introducing new ideas in all
areas of hotel life, especially in terms of service,
restaurant and bar concepts, and computer
technology. It is the constant striving for new and
better hotel facilities which makes HYATT
INTERNATIONAL the successful and exciting company
that it is today.
In June 2004, substantially all of the hospitality assets
owned by Pritzker family business interests, including
Hyatt Corporation and Hyatt International
Corporation were consolidated under a single entity
called Global Hyatt Corporation. This created a
hospitality company with a single balance sheet, a
single organization and a single focus. On June 30,
2009, Global Hyatt Corporation changed its name to
Hyatt Hotels Corporation.
In December 2004, Hyatt Hotels Corporation
announced it would acquire Ameri Suites, an upscale
chain of all suite business class hotels from affiliates of
the Blackstone Group, a New York based private
equity investment firm. Blackstone had inherited
Ameri Suites from its 2004 acquisition of Prime
Hospitality. The Ameri Suites chain was rebranded and
converted to a new concept called Hyatt Place. With
Hyatt Place, Hyatt Hotels Corporation was better able
to compete with the limited service products
Courtyard by Marriott and Hilton Garden Inn offered
by industry leaders Marriott International and Hilton
Worldwide, respectively.
In December 2005, Hyatt Hotels Corporation
announced a second limited service
acquisition, Summerfield Suites. Again the seller was
the Blackstone Group. Blackstone had inherited
Summerfield Suites from its purchase of Wyndham
International. In January 2012, Hyatt Summerfield
Suites were rebranded as Hyatt House and positioned
to compete in the upscale extended stay market
against brands such as Residence Inn, Homewood
Suites and Staybridge Suites.
On August 6, 2009, it was reported that Hyatt Hotels
Corporation filed plans to raise up to $1.15 billion in
an initial share sale. On November 4, 2009, Hyatt
completed an initial public offering and began trading
publicly on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol H. According to the filing, Mark S.
Hoplamazian will serve as CEO and Thomas
Pritzker will serve as Executive Chairman. The public
offering is a result of the breakup of the Pritzker
family empire. Accused of looting family trusts,
Thomas and cousins Penny and Nicholas were forced
to wrest control of the family businesses when she
and other family members were sued by cousin Liesel
Pritzker claiming fraud and seeking damages in excess
of $6 billion.

As of March 31, 2013, Hyatt Corporation's worldwide


portfolio consisted of 508 properties. On September
1, 2011, Hyatt acquired Hotel Sierra which has 18
properties in 10 states. Along with Hyatt Summerfield
Suites hotels, several of these properties were
rebranded as HYATT house in January 2012.
Hyatt Hotels Corporation operations several chains,
and the company and its people have been
recognized from publications including Travel +
Leisure, Conde Nast Traveler, Latina Style and
DiversityInc Magazine. The Human Rights Campaign
has awarded the company 100% in the HRC Equality
Index for eight consecutive years. The Hyatt Regency
brand is the oldest brand in the company, with the
Grand Hyatt and Park Hyatt brands being introduced
in 1980. Of these properties, some are styled as
"resort" properties, and may feature spas or other
recreational facilities. Other brands include Hyatt
Place, designed as a limited service offering targeted
to the business traveler. An extended stay
chain, Summerfield Suites, was acquired by Hyatt in
2005, and was renamed Hyatt House in January 2012.
Hyatt also launched a new brand, Andaz, in April
2007. The first hotel to bear this brand was The Great
Eastern Hotel in London, with additional properties
now open in San Diego, West
Hollywood, Shanghai and New York City (Andaz Wall
Street & Andaz 5th Avenue).
On November 2013, Hyatt introduced Hyatt Ziva and
Hyatt Zilara, its two new all-inclusive resort brands,
the two brands are Hyatt’s entry in the all-inclusive
resort segment.
Atlanta - The Hyatt Regency Atlanta,located on
Peachtree street in downtown Atlanta in Georgia is an
award wining hotel which opened in 1967.The
building consists of the main ”Atrium Tower” and two
extensions, completed in 1971 and 1982,containing a
total of 1,260 rooms.

San Francisco
The Hyatt Regency San Francisco formerly provided a
rooftop revolving restaurant called Equinox, offering
360-degree views of the city and the bay – the
restaurant is now an elite club for certain hotel guests
only and it no longer rotates. This hotel was sold for
close to $200 million to Dune Capital Management
and DiNapoli Capital Partners in January 2007 –
roughly $250,000 for each of the hotel's 802 rooms.
The property has been used several times as a filming
location, featured most prominently in producer Irwin
Allen's 1974 Blockbuster "The Towering Inferno", the
1977 Mel Brooks comedy High Anxiety, Don Siegel's

sc-fi thriller "Time After Time".

bad service be camouflaged by good food. The aim of
the operation is to make the guest feel relaxed and at

management and guests consider the keeping of the place clean and in a good
order a necessity for the hotel to command a fair price and get repeat
business.

The effort that housekeeping department makes in giving a guest a desirable
room has a direct bearing on the guest experience in the hotel. Guestroom are

potential repeat customer. The housekeeping department not only prepares
the guest room on timely basis for arriving guest, but also cleans and
maintains everything in the hotel so that the property is fresh and attractive
as the day it opened for business. Housekeeping, thus, is an ancillary
department that contributes in a big way towards the overall reputation of
the property. It is righty said that housekeeping is a 24 x 7 x 365

Laundry:

Large institutions that require a constant flow of clean


linen, working-clothing or uniform, will often employ the
services of an industrial laundry. Hospitals, prisons and
hotels, for instance, will usually have their own laundry
departments. The organized collection, laundering and
timely delivery of textile service ware is essential to the
operation of the institution. Employees in uniforms
reassure customers that they represent the company.
From day-to-day counter work to service representatives
making residential calls, customers trust uniformed
employees and rely on them for dependable and positive
reinforcement
Stages of Operation
When linen is sent to be laundered, it goes through six
stages. The first three stages are called "soiled side"
operations, since they occur before the linen is actually
washed. The last three are called "clean side" operations,
since they involve the handling of clean linen.
1. Soiled Retrieval
In this step, the institution's linens are collected by
laundry personnel and returned to the laundry facility.
Members of the institution's housekeeping staff will
place the soiled linen at a collection point, usually by
dropping it down a laundry chute. Laundry workers will
then collect the soiled linen, place it in carts reserved for
soiled linen and transport it to the laundry facility.
Linen retrieval poses a problem, especially in health care
institutions. Soiled linen can be contaminated with
bloodborne and airborne pathogens. For this reason,
employees who retrieve soiled linen are required to use
personal protective gear and standard safety
precautions. This problem is especially prevalent in
hospitals. Prior to sorting, the linen must be covered to
prevent the spread of airborne germs.
2. Soil Sorting
At this stage, the retrieved linen is unloaded and sorted
according to item type. Different items often require
different washing formulas. Also, later stages in the
process require the linen to be pre-sorted, since it is
handled batch by batch. Heavy or biohazardous stains
such as blood and feces may require longer wash times
and stronger formulas. Thus it is inadvisable to mix
different items of linen in the same wash batch. Large
institutions often use a production-line method for soil
sorting, with several full-time employees assigned to the
task.
Since soiled linen may be contaminated with biohazards
or sharp objects, employees involved in the sorting
process are required to use personal protective
equipment and standard safety precautions.
Smaller items tend to "hide" among larger items. For this
reason, some sorting goes on during the washing,
processing and packaging stages.
3. Washing
This is the stage in which the laundry is actually washed.
The sorted linen is weighed according to the washing
machine's load limit. Large washing machines are used,
usually operated by a certified washer operator. The
washer operator loads and unloads the washer, decides
what is to be washed according to the laundry's
schedule, and monitors the chemical levels in the water.
Since modern tunnel washers monitor their own
chemical levels and unload linen directly into the
laundry's "clean area", the operator is required only to
load the linen.
Proper washing depends on five factors: Water quality,
mechanical Agitation, Time, Chemical concentration and
Heat. Washer operators use the acronym WATCH. These
five factors work together. The purer the water and the
fresher the chemicals, the cleaner the laundry will be.
Mechanical action exposes the surface area of the linen
to the water and chemicals, ensuring that the item is
thoroughly soaked. Mechanical also tends to dislodge
stains. Heat helps the chemicals to react with the stains.
The longer the item is exposed to heat, chemicals and
mechanical action, the cleaner it will be.
Over the past twenty years, many industrial laundries
have switched from conventional washers to tunnel
washers, also called continuous-batch washers. Since
tunnel washers don't have to be stopped for loading and
unloading of linen, they provide a more continuous flow
of clean laundry. Higher-volume facilities, which may
process over 15,000 pounds of linen per day, often rely
heavily on tunnel washers.
4. Processing
In this stage, the clean linen is dried, ironed and folded.
Some items, such as towels and blankets, are put
through a dryer until they are no longer damp, then sent
to mechanical folders. "Wetwork" items, such as sheets,
are sent through steam-powered ironers which dry, press
and fold them.
Dryers use hot air and mechanical action to evaporate
the moisture and chemicals from the linen prior to
folding. Heated air is forced through pores into a
spinning central cylinder called the drum. As the cylinder
constantly spins, the linen inside tumbles, exposing the
surface area to heat which evaporates the moisture. The
air temperature must be carefully controlled. If it isn't
hot enough, the linen won't be thoroughly dried. If it is
too hot, the linen may overdry, damaging the product
and creating a fire hazard.
Ironers use heavy steam-heated rollers to dry the linen
while pressing out wrinkles.
Folders use mechanical action to fold the linen into
shapes that are easily stored and handled. Folders come
in two varieties: large-piece for blankets and other large
items, and small-piece for smaller items such as towels or
pads. The more compact the shape into which the item is
folded, the greater the amount of linen that can be
packed into a limited storage space.
Some items, such as wash cloths, may be too small to be
handled mechanically. These items must be packaged by
hand.
5. Packaging
In this step, the processed linen is prepared for delivery.
Individual orders are filled, based on the needs and
requests of the laundry's customers, then sent to the
laundry's main distribution points and storage areas.
Linen not used for orders is placed in storage areas,
giving the facility a reserve of clean laundry.
6. Distribution
In this step, trained delivery people transport the clean
linen back to the customers. This is a skilled position,
since the delivery person must have a thorough
knowledge of both laundry operation and the principles
of good customer service. In hospitals, delivery people
must be familiar with patient relations, confidentiality
policies and hospice. Large institutions will usually
employ several full-time delivery people.
Occupational Hazards
The most common accidents in industrial laundries
involve chemical exposure, sharp objects left in soiled
linen, slips from wet floors, exposure to pathogens in
contaminated linen, and body parts being stuck in
machinery. While these problems can usually be avoided
by standard precautions and a little common sense, they
can and do happen. Production workers have a saying:
"Common sense isn't that common."
Exposure to soil and pathogens can be limited by two
things. One, of course, is the use of personal protective
equipment: barrier gowns, gloves, eyewear, foot
coverings and face masks. These items should be worn
when handling soiled linen. Infections can also be
eliminated by proper hand-washing with antibacterial
soap. Employees should wash their hands after handling
any linen, whether soiled or clean.
Since the noise levels in industrial laundries can be quite
high, earmuffs and disposable earplugs are often issued.
Hearing protection is essential.
Exposure to chemicals is also common. Since washers
require a constant stream of detergent, bleach and other
chemicals, the supply must be constantly replenished.
Laundries are required to provide a material safety data
sheet, or MSDS, for all chemicals used in the facility.
Many laundries require their machine operators to be
familiar with HAZMAT, if not fully certified.
With the constant workload and harsh working
conditions, employees can easily become short-
tempered. This occasionally leads to problems with
violence and workplace bullying. For this reason, laundry
managers must be competent disciplinarians, ready to
deal with employees who have attitude problems.
Laundry machines use high-pressure steam and
dangerous chemicals. Poor maintenance can cause
injuries such as severe burns and chemical exposures.
Hoses, steam lines and other machine parts must be
checked and replaced regularly.
Production Problems
Communication
Like any good business, a laundry's operation depends
on good communication. Customers must file their
orders in a timely manner. Delivery people and order
fillers must keep records of the types and quantities of
linens used. Managers must be informed of production
difficulties and attitude problems. Any breakdown in
communication will hinder the laundry's productivity.
Cross-contamination.
Clean linen and soiled linen should never be mixed. For
this reason, most laundry facilities have two major work
areas, the "soiled area" and the "clean area". These areas
are usually separated by a wall. Separate carts are
designated for clean and soiled linen. Linen usually
passes from the soiled area to the clean area through the
washers. Any clean linen that comes into contact with
soiled linen or with carts used to transport soiled linen is
considered soiled and must be re-washed. Laundry
workers who handle soiled linen are required to wash
their hands before working with clean linen.
Wet linen storage.
Wet or soiled linen that is allowed to sit for an extended
period of time may become permanently wrinkled.
Worse, wet linen stored in a humid area may mildew,
requiring replacement.
Dust
Dust can and does settle on clean linen. For this reason,
clean linen left on shelves and in delivery carts should be
covered. While many laundries use dust covers
specifically made for this purpose, others will improvise,
using sheets or blankets.

Cart Space
Every laundry, regardless of size, has a limited amount of
cart space for storing linen. For this reason, the laundry's
carts must be constantly recycled. The moment a cart is
emptied, it is returned to the laundry to be filled with
another order. If it is designated for soiled linen, it
should be emptied at the laundry facility, then sent back
to the collection point for another load.
Replacement linens
Each trip through the wash cycle places wear and tear on
the linen. Thus, a major laundry facility needs a constant
stream of new linens coming in to replace worn-out
items. Items that are not too badly damaged may be set
aside for something other than their original purpose.
(Permanently stained or torn blankets, for instance, may
be used to line floor areas being waxed.) However, they
will still need to be replaced in the linen stream.
Maintenance
From its major computerized machines down to the
wheels on its carts, every laundry facility depends on
mechanical and electric devices. These devices require a
range of constant maintenance by skilled and certified
technicians. Poorly maintained equipment can limit
productivity and may even cause or contribute to
injuries.

Indian Cuisine can be said to have evolved along
lines parallel to Indian history. India Has ancient
cultural heritage, which is depend on religion,
geography, and socio- economic conditions.
Traditionally Indian cooking has been handed
down the generations by demonstrations and
word of mouth.
Strong impact was made on Indian cuisine,
during the reigns of Mughals in the 16th century,
who were fond of good living, cooking and
eating. Muslim cooking was based on meat.
There influence was strongest in
North and Central India. Since then well known
Mughlai dishes were evolved, which were soon
developed into an important culinary art, and is
part of Indian cuisine. Down South, the Mughlai
influence was slight, where cooking is mainly
vegetarian. The regional dishes from various
parts of India are influenced by Religion,
availability of ingredients and old traditions and
customs. Many of them have also been
influenced during various invasions. Thus it is a
combination of cookery of many nationalities.
Paintings depicts the keen interest the kings
took in the preparation of the food, was they
would sit giving instructions and supervising the
cooking. It is the knowledge of our ancestors
that has handed down from one generation to
another.
Regional cooking is influenced by the staple
food. The area in the north where wheat grows,
the food is dried and gravy is thick. In the South
where rice is a staple diet, gravies are thinner.
Climate too plays its role, and because of heavy
rainfall, vegetables grow in abundance and
makes vegetarian cuisine varied and exciting.

that it would go by ever so quickly and have left me craving
for much more. I would have to say that it is an absolutely
fabulous part of the curriculum and perhaps will remain the
most memorable one. Needless to say that this experience
was a highly enriching and educative one as I went on from
one department to another and met and got the opportunity
to train under several highly respected senior professionals. I
learnt that every individual is different and that every one has
something unique to offer. I learnt that every job has its
nuances and its value and that no job is superior to the other.
I learnt that on needs to constantly improve and improvise. I
learnt that this is just the beginning of a long road ahead… full
of challenges. But I know that I will be able to run along
because I have my foundations firmly built in. It is here that I
got the opportunity to continuously introspect and improve…
as a budding professional and as a human being. I will
always look back at the time spent here with fondness and
with pride. I cannot but thank all the people who have helped
me in several different ways that will go a long way in
facilitating the commencement of a wonderful journey.
