About Lemon Tree Premier New Town Kolkata
Lemon Tree Premier New Town Kolkata suits travellers with early flights, conference schedules at Biswa Bangla Convention Centre, or plans centred on Eco Park. The hotel sits in New Town, the newest planned district, about 30 to 50 minutes by road from Kolkata airport (CCU) over 8.3 km straight line. It is a practical base for the eastern side of the city and for events in Rajarhat, while the old city is a longer ride south.
This is a four-star hotel with a guest score of 4.2/5 from 3010 reviews. The property is a full-service hotel rather than a guesthouse, with a 24-hour front desk, an on-site restaurant and room service. Facilities include Wi-Fi, air conditioning, parking, a shuttle service, a pool, a fitness room and a spa. Family rooms, lifts and wheelchair-accessible areas are listed. The address is Plot No. Bg 9 Premises No 30 1111.
Location and neighbourhood
New Town, also called Rajarhat New Town, is the newest planned district of Kolkata. It is built around wide roads, offices, serviced apartments and large convention spaces, with international hotel chains in the area. Eco Park (Prakriti Tirtha), opened in 2012, is the main open space. Biswa Bangla Convention Centre, Biswa Bangla Gate, Rabindra Tirtha and Mother's Wax Museum are also here. The layout feels different from the old city: more planned, more spread out and further from the colonial landmarks.
Little of the old city is walkable from the hotel. Eco Park is 2.3 km away, close enough for a short cab ride or a longer walk if the weather is kind. Park Street is 11.6 km straight line and 35 to 60 minutes by road; Esplanade is 11.5 km and 35 to 60 minutes. Victoria Memorial is 12.9 km and 40 to 65 minutes. Plan on app cabs, yellow taxis with the meter running, or the shuttle service for local trips.
Mornings here are generally quieter than the central districts, with office traffic building later and airport runs starting early. Evenings are calmer than the old city, and Eco Park is the obvious place for a walk. During Durga Puja, usually late September or October, the city's pace changes and road journeys can take longer; check the current year's dates. Christmas lights on Park Street run mid-December to New Year, a 35 to 60 minute drive from this base.
Rooms and facilities
Business travellers get the essentials: Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a desk, a safe and a 24-hour front desk for late arrivals. A banquet space and parking are listed, which helps if the trip includes a meeting at the hotel. The fitness room and pool provide a way to reset after a flight. Confirm broadband speed, desk space in the room and whether the shuttle service must be booked in advance.
Families can ask about family rooms and cots, both listed. Lifts and wheelchair-accessible areas make the property easier for older guests or anyone with limited mobility. Breakfast, room service, laundry and luggage storage cover the practical side. A pool and spa give children and adults something to do away from the heat. Confirm pool hours, spa booking rules and whether the family room layout suits the ages in the group.
Kolkata's heat and monsoon make air conditioning and laundry important. The hotel lists these, along with a minibar, iron and board, hairdryer and non-smoking rooms. Rooms are carpeted according to the facilities list. In heavy rain, ask about waterlogging on the approach roads and allow extra time for airport runs. Confirm check-in and check-out times, breakfast inclusion, and whether currency exchange is available at the desk before relying on it.

Getting there
From Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU), the hotel is 8.3 km away in a straight line, with a road journey of 30 to 50 minutes depending on traffic. The airport sits near Dum Dum, north-east of the centre, and New Town is on the same eastern side. A shuttle service is listed; confirm whether it covers the airport, where it picks up, and whether a booking is needed. Otherwise use an app cab or a metered yellow taxi.
Howrah station is on the west bank, 12.2 km away in a straight line and 40 to 65 minutes by road. Sealdah station is on the east side of the centre, 9.5 km away and 30 to 55 minutes by road. For a late arrival, the 24-hour front desk is useful. Allow a buffer for bridge traffic when coming from Howrah. Confirm the best pickup point with the hotel before the train arrives.
The nearest listed metro stations are Salt Lake Sector V at 3.2 km and Karunamoyee at 4.1 km. The Orange Line is partly open and expanding, so check Metro Railway Kolkata for current stations and hours. The metro does not remove the need for a short cab or auto-rickshaw ride at either end. For the old city, take the metro where possible to avoid road delays, then finish the journey by taxi or on foot.

Food and sights near Lemon Tree Premier New Town Kolkata
Eco Park is the closest sight at 2.3 km. The park opened in 2012 and gives New Town a large open space for walking and a break from traffic. Nearby are Biswa Bangla Gate, Rabindra Tirtha, Mother's Wax Museum and Biswa Bangla Convention Centre. These are modern additions rather than colonial landmarks, and they suit a half-day without crossing the city. Check opening days and any ticketed sections before setting out.
Tangra and Tiretta Bazaar are 7.6 km away. Tangra is the centre of the city's Chinese community and Indian-Chinese food; Tiretta Bazaar has an early morning Chinese breakfast market. Mother House is 10.1 km away, the Missionaries of Charity base with Mother Teresa's tomb. College Street and Indian Coffee House are also 10.1 km; the book market and the Albert Hall branch are part of old Calcutta. Marble Palace is 10.3 km, an 1835 private residence needing a free permit.
For classic city restaurants, Park Street is 11.6 km away and 35 to 60 minutes by road. Flurys, Peter Cat, Mocambo and Trincas are there. Nizam's near New Market is credited with the original kathi roll, though it is further south. In New Town, evenings centre on Eco Park and the convention district rather than old-style shopping. Check event schedules at Rabindra Tirtha and the convention centre. Cards and UPI are widely accepted in hotels, malls and restaurants; keep cash for smaller places.

A day from Lemon Tree Premier New Town Kolkata
Start early with Eco Park, 2.3 km from the hotel. The park opened in 2012 and is the easiest green space to reach before the day heats up. Walk or take a short cab, then return for breakfast. If the Chinese breakfast market at Tiretta Bazaar is the goal, go on a different morning: it is 7.6 km away and runs early. Keep the first morning simple to allow for jet lag or an early flight.
In the afternoon, head to College Street and Indian Coffee House, 10.1 km away. The book market, Presidency University and the coffee house sit in the old university quarter. Allow a half-day for the journey and the browsing. Alternatively, visit Mother House at 10.1 km or Marble Palace at 10.3 km, checking permit arrangements for the latter. Use an app cab or metered taxi, and check Metro Railway Kolkata if combining the trip with a metro ride.
For the evening, choose between a quiet walk at Eco Park and a classic meal on Park Street. Park Street is 11.6 km away and 35 to 60 minutes by road; Flurys, Peter Cat, Mocambo and Trincas are there. Book a table for dinner and arrange the return cab in advance, especially during Durga Puja or the Christmas season. A closer option is Tangra at 7.6 km for Indian-Chinese food. End at the hotel if the next day starts early.
Booking tips and when to go
Book early for Durga Puja, usually late September or October, and for the Christmas period, when Park Street lights run from mid-December to New Year. Conference dates around Biswa Bangla Convention Centre can also affect availability; check the venue calendar before fixing dates. Confirm check-in and check-out times, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms with the property. Ask for a room away from lifts if quiet matters, and confirm shuttle details at the time of booking.
November to February is the most comfortable season for this area. December and January highs are in the mid-20s °C; February is pleasant. March warms up, April and May are hot and humid, and the monsoon runs roughly June to September with waterlogging after downpours. If the trip centres on Eco Park or the airport, winter gives the best conditions. Carry a light layer for winter mornings, which can be hazy with poor air quality.
Use the meter in yellow taxis or book an app cab; confirm the route if taking an auto-rickshaw on a fixed run. Keep cash for markets, taxis and street food, though cards and UPI are widely accepted in hotels, malls and restaurants. Drink bottled water. For temples and religious sites, dress modestly and remove shoes where required. Check official sources such as West Bengal Tourism, Metro Railway Kolkata and Kolkata Police for current rules and transport updates.
