It was time of Imperial glory. The British wore their crown with pride. Calcutta was the capital of India. Trams were in vogue. Electric lamps were transforming the nightscape. Automobiles had begun to chug along the roads. The year was 1911. And The Kenilworth was an old bungalow with a colonial aura and managed by the Stuarts. Most of its boarders roomed on short-term contracts. In 1947 The Kenilworth changed hands. When another American couple, the Madths, took over boarding house. Its 40 rooms were imbued with an old world charm.
The transformation of The Kenilworth began in 1968 when Mr. M. S. Bharat, a migrant from Sind, took over the lodge on the 1st of January and began a process that was to result in the emergence of The Kenilworth as one of the most popular group of hotels in India.
