Novotel Kolkata Hotel and Residences

Novotel Kolkata Hotel and Residences is a modern international-chain hotel on Biswa Bangla Sarani in Action Area I, New Town, Kolkata, West Bengal, India. New Town is a planned satellite township north-east of the old city, home to the Biswa Bangla Convention Centre, Eco Park and numerous IT and commercial buildings, and the hotel is close to both the convention centre and Eco Park. The airport is relatively close, typically 20 to 35 minutes by road depending on traffic, which suits travellers with early or late flights, while the Victoria Memorial and Park Street are usually 45 to 75 minutes away. The design is contemporary and functional, in keeping with the surrounding township, rather than heritage in character. Room types include Superior Room, Executive Room and Suite, with the executive level typically adding lounge-style benefits. Dining is centred on a restaurant serving international and Indian dishes, with a broad breakfast buffet aimed at business guests. Facilities include a pool, wifi and a fitness centre. The service character is business-oriented and efficient, and the Residences element suggests suitability for longer stays, though families and leisure visitors using the hotel as an airport-side base will also find it practical. Indicative rates are about ₹6,500-12,000 per night, placing it in the mid-range for international chains in the city. New Town is quieter and more spacious than central Kolkata, with wide roads, parks and relatively little street life in the evenings, so guests wanting nightlife and heritage sights should plan cab trips into the city. Event days at the convention centre can raise occupancy and prices.
