Kiranshree Portico is ideal for busy businessmen who have to move around Guwahati fast. Taxis from the airport stop just opposite the hotel, which is also situated close to the railway station. And behind the hotel is the local Shillong taxi stand, a convenience that makes for hassle-free commuting around the city. You can also request the hotel to organize taxis (receipts provided if asked for).

Kiranshree has all the facilities to suit the business traveller. Computers with internet (and printers) are available in the lobby; Wi-Fi is provided at no extra charge. Rooms have the regular amenities like central air-conditioning, LCD TVs, a tea- and coffee-maker, and a few extras (including a fruit basket and cookies).

For the businessman, no expense is spared; the hotel can make available conferencing facilities. The conference halls can cater to as little as 15, and as many as 500 people; the halls come equipped with whiteboard, flipchart and LCD projectors. Audio systems, a DVD―and even a butler service―are also available (provided one makes a request in advance).

As for meals, guests can either venture into the bazaar or enjoy the hotel’s restaurant, ‘White Pearl’, which offers local delicacies and live music. There is also a coffee shop and a lounge bar on the hotel premises. Do make it a point to order morning tea here, as it may well be the highlight of your trip.
