Resort Titli is a four-star luxury retreat in Santiniketan, set across two acres of parkland and cliffs, just 6 km from the Kankalitala Shaktipeeth Temple. Known as the “Queen of Luxury Resorts,” it offers heritage architecture and standout attractions like a vintage Kolkata tram dining car and the royal Rajbarir Bhuribhoj restaurant.
Despite its strong reputation, the resort was losing revenue to booking portals. It needed a fast, elegant, mobile-first website on WordPress and Elementor, connected to the STAAH booking engine, so guests could book directly with no middleman fees.
The Problem
- High commissions: Over 70% of bookings came from sites like MakeMyTrip and Booking.com, which charged 18% to 25% per room night.
- No live availability: The old site only had inquiry forms, so confirming rooms meant phone calls and WhatsApp chats.
- Hidden attractions: The tram dining and Rajbarir Bhuribhoj hall had no high-quality photography.
- Slow mobile site: Pages took over 4.8 seconds to load, so visitors left right away.
What We Built
We built a custom WordPress site with Elementor Pro, custom PHP performance hooks, and direct STAAH integration.
1. Hero Booking Bar and Heritage Look
An instant booking bar sits above the fold with check-in and check-out dates, rooms, guests, and promo code. The design uses terracotta and teak brown (#9A633F), gold borders, oatmeal backgrounds (#FAF7F2), and serif typography. A click-to-call concierge number (+91 9883113966) stays visible.
2. About Section
Highlights the two-acre estate, cliff views, shaded paths, closeness to Visva-Bharati, and verified four-star badges.
3. Accommodations
Guests can compare Executive, Deluxe, and Premium rooms with photos and clear feature lists.
- Executive: heritage wood floors, chandeliers, sofa seating, private balconies.
- Deluxe: exposed timber beams, teak four-poster beds, climate control, garden views.
- Premium: master suites with electronic locks, LED Smart TVs, dressing areas, luxury bath amenities.
4. Tram Dining and Food
The restored blue tram on the garden lawns serves breakfast, snacks, and family celebrations. Rajbarir Bhuribhoj offers royal Bengali dining with brassware, palanquin seating, and traditional thalis. Verified 5-star Google reviews build trust.
5. Amenities, Attractions, and FAQs
Covers the pool, fitness centre, kids’ play area, wheelchair access, lift, in-room safes, and free Wi-Fi. Nearby sights like Kankalitala Shaktipeeth Temple encourage longer stays, and an FAQ accordion answers common questions.
6. STAAH Booking Integration
Guests choose Room Only (EP), Bed & Breakfast (CP), or Breakfast plus One Major Meal (MAP) with live INR pricing. Inventory syncs across all channels to prevent double bookings during busy seasons like Poush Mela and Basanta Utsav. Secure payments (cards, UPI, net banking) go straight to the resort with no commission.
The Results
- +210% direct bookings: Over two-thirds of reservations now come through the STAAH engine.
- Zero commission on direct stays: Saves an estimated 18% to 25% per booking.
- 0.56-second mobile load time: Lightweight Elementor architecture and WebP images make the site very fast.
- Higher booking value: Clear meal packages (MAP) boosted meal plan upsells.
