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.
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
spy thriller "Telefon" of the same year, and the 1979
sc-fi thriller "Time After Time".
Shanghai
The Grand Hyatt Shanghai is located in the Jin Mao
Tower (floors 53 to 87). It has a ballroom for 1200
people, and meeting rooms which seat 400
comfortably. The Park Hyatt occupying the 79th to
93rd floors of the Shanghai World Financial Center, is
considered the highest hotel in the world. SWFC
measures 492 meters and has 101 stories.
Tokyo
The Park Hyatt Tokyo was featured prominently in the
movie Lost in Translation, and also in an episode of I
Survived a Japanese Game Show where that episode's
winning team stayed in the suite featured in that
movie worth $12,000/night, plus a personal chef.

This department is responsible for the cleanliness and upkeep of the front of
the house areas as well as back of the house areas, so that they appear fresh
and aesthetically appealing as on the first day the hotel property opened for
business. We at Hyatt, aim at providing our customer with clean, attractive,
comfortable and welcoming surroundings that offer value for money.
Nothing sends a stronger message than cleanliness in a hospitality operation.
No level of services, friendliness or glamour can equal the sensation a guest
has entering upon a spotless, tidy and conveniently arranged room. Both
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.
Housekeeping may be defined as ‘Provision of a clean, comfortable, safe and
aesthetically appealing environment’. By another definition, ‘Housekeeping
is an operational department in a hotel, which is responsible for cleanliness,
maintenance, aesthetic upkeep of rooms, public areas, back areas and
surroundings’.
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
the heart of hotel, unless décor is appropriate, the air odour free, and
furnishing/ upholstery spotlessly clean, the hotel may loose the guest as a
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:
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.

Bell desk
The major function of the bell desk is to take care of
the guest’s luggage and their belongings and guide
the guest to their respective rooms carrying their
baggage, coats etc. till guest room. They are
responsible for the guest luggage during check-in and
check-out and are also responsible for providing
newspaper in the morning.
Bell desk clerks are always in the public eye and
usually are the first line of customer service for a
lodging property. Their attitude and behavior
greatly influence the public's impression of the
establishment.
Luggage is one of the prime concerns of bell
clerks.
Bell desk clerks perform a variety of duties:
carrying guests' items to and from automobiles,
loading and navigating a luggage cart, escorting
guests to their rooms and explaining rooms'
features, organizing and storing luggage in the
rooms' designated areas, answering questions
and offering assistance.
Concierge
It handles all the information regarding the hotel and
hotel policies. Any information that comes via mail or
any other source is thoroughly checked by the
department.
A well informed concierge staff will keep the guests
happy, and that will bring back repeat business. It will
also encourage the guests to refer their friend which
in turn helps the business grow. When the businesses
that the concierge uses are happy, they will also refer
their clients and bring in even more guests to the
hotel. It's a win-win situation all around.
The basic task of a concierge is to serve as the
guest’s liaison with both hotel and non-hotel services.
In a sense, the function of a concierge is an extension
of the function of a front desk agent. A concierge
must be resourceful and knowledgeable about the
hotel and the surrounding community. Regardless of
whether concern in-hotel or off premises attractions,
facilities, services, or activities, a concierge specializes
in providing assistance to guests.
Typical guest requests handled by a concierge
include:
*Providing directions and information
*Making airplane, theater, train ticket
*Reservations for dining
*Arranging for secretarial services.
*Handling mail and parcel service’s
*Arranging sightseeing tours.
Business centre
Business center and offers four computer systems
with high speed internet connections, a Xerox and fax
machine, for business guests. Secretarial services and
Laptops with high speed wireless internet connection
are also provided to the guest as per request.
Timings: 7.30am – 12.00 midnight.
Communication centre
Communication center is one of the most vital departments of the hotel. Only
through this department outside customers communicate with the hotel staff
and guests: SPEED, ACCURACY and COURTESY” are the watchwords
of the telephone department. Now a days Hyatt’s comm. center is known as
the guest relation centre. In a guest relation centre the most responsible work
is the position of the telephone operator. PABX stands for private automatic
branch exchange. This area is commonly referred to as the switchboard and is
staffed by switchboard / telephone operators. Most large hotels have room-

GUCHHI KITCHEN
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.
