The Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT) owned ancient art deco jewel, the Evelyn House in Colaba — known as a VVIP guest house for port and ministry of shipping officials — is set to get a facelift equivalent to a three-star hotel.

The MbPT is looking for an operator who can give services for the guests at Evelyn House equivalent to a three-star hotel. Evelyn House is a wooden building constructed in 1905 by the British and is named after wife of Arthur Fosbery, the chief engineer of MbPT in those days.

The ground plus nine floors building located near the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel is mainly used by port and ministry of shipping officials for official visit to the city. However, the guest house also accommodates government officials from other departments subject to approval from the chairman of MbPT.

The MbPT is in search of a contractor who will manage the guest house. "The firm has to manage the guest house in such a manner that the services provided are quality equivalent to a three-star hotel," reads the tender document floated by MbPT.

"The contractor should have separate arrangements to handle the VVIP guests with provision of dedicated staff to cater to their room service, kitchen, conference, meetings etc. In any case, the personnel deployed for other guests should not be diverted for this purpose," one of the conditions by MbPT for the appointment of managing firm.

It has made it mandatory to have separate kitchen, cook, chef, waiter, room boy, attendant, housekeeping staff for the VVIP guests. Separate dress code should be given to them to serve the VVIP. The cook and chef should be well qualified and experienced to cook and serve all types of food such as Indian, Continental etc, are a few more conditions by the MbPT.
