Novotel Kolkata Hotel and Residences

Novotel Kolkata Hotel and Residences is an upscale hotel at CF 11, Action Area 1C, New Town, Rajarhat, in the modern planned satellite city of New Town in northeastern Kolkata, West Bengal, India. New Town is a newer district of wide boulevards, tech parks and convention venues, quite different from the dense colonial core. The hotel is located close to the Biswa Bangla Convention Centre area and the commercial towers of Action Area 1, and the airport is generally within a 15 to 30 minute drive in light traffic, making it among the more airport-friendly locations in the city. Central heritage sights such as the Victoria Memorial and Park Street lie considerably farther south, so visitors usually travel by taxi or ride-hailing car. The property is operated under the Accor group's Novotel brand, known for contemporary design, consistent service and appeal to business and family travellers. The Hotel and Residences format suggests that both short-stay rooms and serviced-apartment style accommodation may be associated with the complex. Room categories listed include Deluxe and Premier rooms, Club rooms, an Executive Suite and a Luxury Suite, with nightly rates of about INR 8,000 to 17,000. Dining generally includes an all-day restaurant, a bar and room service available around the clock, with breakfast buffets that cater to Indian and international tastes. Wellness facilities listed include a spa, a fitness centre and a swimming pool, and the hotel also lists a concierge, airport transfers and a business centre. The setting suits conference delegates, IT-sector business visitors and families who prefer modern, uncongested surroundings. New Town also has large parks, an eco park and shopping malls within a short drive, offering leisure options that do not require crossing the city. Travellers should plan for a longer journey to the old city's markets, bookshops and heritage buildings.
