Best Family Friendly Hotels in Kolkata
Formerly Calcutta, the capital of West Bengal is famed for its culture. Literature, music and cinema all have deep roots laid within this city. Now a bustling cosmopolitan that sings with pride, wearing its badge of raj-era architecture with honour. The colour and the hubbub of this city make it seem almost effervescent to those that stay here and it becomes quickly apparent why it has earned its namesake ‘The City of Joy’. Luxury hotels are plentiful and offer modern additions to this historic city. Here are our favourite 5-star and luxury hotels to stay at in the city.

It houses 456 bedrooms and suites, each with iPads to control in-room features and the ‘infotainment’ and some come with butler service. Those staying for an extended period can opt for a self-catering residence, with sitting and dining areas. Kaya Kalp is the ITC’s well-being centre, specialising in Ayurvedic therapies. And there are five sumptuous places to eat; a vegetarian restaurant, an Italian kitchen, an international buffet, The Brass Room tapas bar and the Darjeeling tea lounge.
