ITC Sonar

ITC Sonar is a five-star hotel on the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, with its address listed at 1 JBS Haldane Avenue. The location is in the south-eastern part of the city, close to the Science City area and the convention district, which makes it a popular base for business visitors attending exhibitions and corporate events as well as leisure travellers. Central sights such as the Victoria Memorial, Park Street and the Maidan are typically 25 to 40 minutes away by road, and the airport transfer commonly takes 45 to 60 minutes, subject to traffic. The hotel follows the ITC luxury model, with a large, formal lobby, landscaped grounds and a strong emphasis on regional Indian cuisine alongside international options across several restaurants. Room types include Executive Room, Club Room and Suite, with club guests usually receiving additional lounge access and personalised service. Breakfast is generally a wide buffet with Indian and continental choices. Wellness facilities include a pool, spa and fitness centre, and a business centre supports meetings. The service character is business-oriented and efficient, while remaining comfortable for families and couples seeking a self-contained property with dining under one roof. Indicative rates run from about ₹8,000 to ₹16,000 per night, making it somewhat more moderate than some of the city's heritage-brand luxury hotels, with prices rising during the festive autumn season and the winter conference calendar. Visitors planning sightseeing in colonial B.B.D. Bagh or north Kolkata should allow extra transit time and may prefer to hire a car for the day, while those attending events in the eastern corridor will find the location convenient.
