About Fabhotel Amar Raj Regency
Fabhotel Amar Raj Regency sits in New Town, the planned district on the eastern edge of Kolkata, and suits travellers whose timetable is built around a flight, a conference or a day at Eco Park. Kolkata airport is 9.7 km away in a straight line, 30 to 55 minutes by road depending on traffic, so an early departure is far less stressful than from a central address. Eco Park is 3.4 km from the door, and the Biswa Bangla Convention Centre is in the same district.
This is a three-star hotel with a short, practical set of facilities: lifts, wheelchair-accessible areas and breakfast. Pets are not allowed, there is a reception area and a separate smoking area, and a sofa bed is available where a room needs to take a third person. Expect a functional, uncomplicated stay rather than a destination in itself: a base for airport runs, meetings in New Town, and outings to the park and the city beyond.
Location and neighbourhood
New Town, also called Rajarhat New Town, is the newest planned district in Kolkata: wide roads, plotted blocks and continuing construction. Eco Park (Prakriti Tirtha) opened in 2012 and anchors the area, with Mother's Wax Museum, Rabindra Tirtha, Biswa Bangla Gate and the Biswa Bangla Convention Centre close by, alongside international hotel chains and serviced apartments. The district is about 15 to 30 minutes from the airport, which is why it draws business travellers, but it sits well away from the old city and its monuments.
The address, Noapara Hatiara Gopal Pur, is in among residential and newer development rather than on a sightseeing street. Eco Park at 3.4 km and Salt Lake Sector V metro station at 4.4 km are both a cab or auto-rickshaw ride rather than a stroll. Central Kolkata is much further: Park Street and Esplanade are each 12.4 km in a straight line, 40 to 65 minutes by road. Plan on vehicles for anything outside the immediate neighbourhood.
Mornings here begin with traffic heading toward the Salt Lake Sector V offices, so allow extra time for a morning cab. Evenings are quieter, with Eco Park and the Biswa Bangla Gate area drawing families out. During Durga Puja, usually late September or October, New Town's community pandals bring crowds and road diversions; check the current year's dates and add time to every journey. Christmas and New Year are busiest around Park Street rather than here.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms are arranged for short working stays. Lifts serve the floors, which matters with luggage or after a long flight, and wheelchair-accessible areas are part of the set-up, though it is worth asking which rooms and routes they cover. Breakfast is served on site, useful before an early airport run. A reception area handles arrivals through the day, and a sofa bed is available for anyone travelling as a three. Business travellers should confirm desk space and power points directly with the property.
Kolkata's climate shapes what to ask for. April and May are hot and humid, often above 35 °C, and the monsoon from roughly June to September brings heavy rain and waterlogging after downpours. Ask whether the room has air conditioning and whether backup power covers an outage. A room that closes up well, and a lift rather than stairs, both help in heavy rain. December and January are the easiest months, with highs in the mid-20s °C.
Confirm a few things before booking: check-in and check-out times, the breakfast window, and whether the sofa bed needs to be requested in advance. Pets are not allowed, so plan accordingly. Smoking is confined to the smoking area. If step-free access matters, ask for the specific room and the route from the entrance. Rooms away from the road are worth requesting if traffic noise interferes with sleep.

Getting there
From Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) near Dum Dum, the hotel is 9.7 km away in a straight line, a road journey of 30 to 55 minutes depending on traffic. Metered yellow Ambassador taxis and app cabs both wait at the airport; insist on the meter in a yellow taxi. The Jai Hind Bimanbandar metro station on the Yellow Line also serves the airport, and services are expanding, so check Metro Railway Kolkata before relying on the metro.
Howrah station is 13.4 km away in a straight line, 40 to 70 minutes by road, and Sealdah is 10.5 km, 35 to 55 minutes. Both are far enough in traffic that a metered cab or an app cab makes sense with luggage. Some long-distance and Bangladesh trains use Kolkata station at Chitpur. Allow extra time in the morning and evening peaks, and more again during the monsoon.
The closest metro stations are Salt Lake Sector V at 4.4 km and Karunamoyee at 5.4 km, both reachable by auto-rickshaw or cab. The Orange Line is partly open and expanding, so check Metro Railway Kolkata for current stations and hours before planning a metro trip. Once inside the network, the Blue Line runs north to south through Esplanade, Park Street and Kalighat, which is the practical way to reach central sights without road traffic.
| To | Distance | By road |

| Park Street | 12.4 km | 40–65 minutes |
| Esplanade | 12.4 km | 40–65 minutes |
| Victoria Memorial | 13.6 km | 40–70 minutes |
| Howrah station | 13.4 km | 40–70 minutes |
| Sealdah station | 10.5 km | 35–55 minutes |
| Kolkata airport (CCU) | 9.7 km | 30–55 minutes |

Food and sights near Fabhotel Amar Raj Regency
Eco Park, 3.4 km away, is the obvious first outing: a large urban park opened in 2012, with room for a long walk and a lake. Tangra and Tiretta Bazaar, 8.3 km away, cover the city's Chinese heritage, Tangra for Indian-Chinese restaurants and Tiretta Bazaar for the early morning Chinese breakfast market. Both are best reached by cab. Give Eco Park half a day and start early for the breakfast market, which winds up well before noon.
Mother House on AJC Bose Road, 10.8 km away, holds Mother Teresa's tomb and makes a quiet, contemplative stop. College Street and the Indian Coffee House at Albert Hall are 11.2 km away, the book market and a famous café on one stretch. Marble Palace, 11.4 km away, is an 1835 private residence in North Kolkata; entry needs a free permit, so check current arrangements with the property or the palace before setting out.
For food, Tangra's Indian-Chinese kitchens are the nearest distinctive option at 8.3 km. The older cafés and restaurants of central Kolkata, among them Flurys, Peter Cat, Mocambo, Trincas, Nizam's and Nahoum's, cluster around Park Street and New Market, roughly the 12.4 km Park Street run, so pair them with a day in the centre. Closer in, the Biswa Bangla Convention Centre and the Biswa Bangla Gate area give New Town its evening activity.

- Marble Palace (11.4 km)
A day from Fabhotel Amar Raj Regency
Start early and take a cab to Eco Park, 3.4 km away, for a walk while the air is cooler and the paths are quiet. Return for breakfast, then use the middle of the day for a longer run into the centre: Marble Palace is 11.4 km away and College Street 11.2 km, both on the northern side of the city. Traffic between them is slow, so pick one and give it proper time rather than attempting both.
An afternoon in the centre can pair College Street's book stalls with the Indian Coffee House at Albert Hall, then a short ride to Marble Palace, remembering that the permit arrangement needs checking first. Alternatively, head east to Tangra and Tiretta Bazaar, 8.3 km away, for an early Indian-Chinese lunch. Keep journeys outside the peak hours where possible; the same stretch of road moves very differently at five in the evening.
Finish with something close. Eco Park again in the evening, or the Biswa Bangla Gate area, keeps the last hours local and leaves a short ride back. Mother House, 10.8 km away, suits a quiet morning rather than an evening visit. If the next day starts with a flight, eat near the hotel and pack early: the airport is 9.7 km in a straight line and 30 to 55 minutes by road, and morning traffic can stretch that.
Booking tips and when to go
Book well ahead for Durga Puja, usually late September or October, and for the Christmas to New Year period when Park Street is lit and the city fills up. Conference weeks around the Biswa Bangla Convention Centre also tighten availability in New Town. Confirm check-in and check-out times with the property when booking, and ask about early arrival if a flight lands before dawn. Weekday mornings and evenings are the slowest for road journeys.
November to February is the most comfortable window, with November dry and December and January highs in the mid-20s °C. February stays pleasant before the heat builds. March reaches the low 30s, April and May are hot and humid with evening storms, and the monsoon from roughly June to September brings waterlogging, heaviest in July. Winter mornings can be hazy with poor air quality, which matters if you are sensitive; check India Meteorological Department forecasts.
Carry cash for taxis, markets and street food; cards and UPI are widely accepted in hotels, malls and restaurants. Insist on the meter in yellow taxis, or use an app cab. Drink bottled or filtered water. Dress modestly at temples and at Mother House. Most foreign visitors need an Indian e-Visa before travel, applied for through the official Indian Visa Online portal. Carry the hotel address in writing for drivers.
