About Shraddha Residency 2
Shraddha Residency 2 is a hotel on Plot No 1434, Street No 917 in New Town AA3, near Water Tank No 21, in the planned district east of the old city. The address suits early flights from Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, conference days and trips to Eco Park. The airport is about 10.4 km away in a straight line, 35 to 55 minutes by road depending on traffic. Reaching the centre takes longer, so plan each day around that ride.
This is a practical hotel rather than a destination in itself. The appeal is the working list of facilities: Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a 24-hour front desk, room service, a bar, parking, a business centre and laundry service. Late arrivals can be received at any hour, business guests get a base with a lounge and a bar, and families benefit from wide roads and easier parking than the old city offers. It works best as a settled base for a short, purpose-led trip.
Location and neighbourhood
New Town, also called Rajarhat New Town, is the newest planned district in Kolkata, laid out in numbered blocks and streets with broad roads and set-back buildings. Eco Park, or Prakriti Tirtha, opened in 2012 and is the largest green space here. The district also holds Mother's Wax Museum, Rabindra Tirtha, the Biswa Bangla Gate and the Biswa Bangla Convention Centre, alongside international hotel chains and serviced apartments. It feels new: open sky, a readable grid and addresses that are easy to follow.
Around Street No 917 you can walk to local shops, tea stalls and small eateries, and Water Tank No 21 is a useful landmark for giving directions to a driver. Almost everything else needs a ride. Eco Park is 4.2 km away, Salt Lake Sector V metro is 6.7 km, and Park Street and Esplanade are both 14.7 km in a straight line, 45 to 75 minutes by road. App cabs and autos cover these gaps.
Mornings here start early and move, with office traffic heading towards Sector V and the IT offices before the roads clear again by mid-morning. Evenings are calmer, with families walking near Eco Park and convention guests returning to the district. During Durga Puja, usually late September or October, New Town puts up its own pandals and the roads near the park fill after dark, though the crowds stay lighter than in north or central Kolkata. Check the current year's dates before booking.
Rooms and facilities
For work, the hotel covers the essentials: Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a business centre, a 24-hour front desk and room service. A lounge and a bar give somewhere to sit with a laptop or a colleague without leaving the building. Parking is available, which matters if you drive in from Salt Lake or the airport road. Rooms are listed with a TV, an alarm clock, a safe and a shower, the small items that make an early flight less stressful.
Families and late arrivals get the most from the set-up. The 24-hour front desk means a midnight arrival from the airport can be handled without a scramble for keys. Some of the listed facilities, including a kitchen and a balcony, are not standard in every room, so ask which category has them when booking. Non-smoking rooms, towels, toiletries and laundry service are listed, all useful on a stay of several nights.
Kolkata's heat is the thing to plan around. April and May often push past 35 °C with high humidity, so air conditioning matters here, and the monsoon from roughly June to September brings heavy rain and waterlogging after downpours. Confirm that the air conditioning is serviced, that hot water runs in the morning, and that laundry can be turned around quickly in damp weather. Also confirm check-in and check-out times, parking allocation, and whether the bar and room service run at the hours you need.

Getting there
From Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Dum Dum, the hotel is about 10.4 km away in a straight line, 35 to 55 minutes by road. The drive uses the airport approach roads and then the New Town grid. App cabs and prepaid taxis are the simplest choice with luggage, and yellow Ambassador taxis are metered, so insist on the meter. Allow extra time in the morning peak, when traffic heads towards Sector V.
Howrah station is 15.6 km away in a straight line, 45 to 80 minutes by road, and Sealdah is 12.8 km, 40 to 65 minutes. Both rides cross the city and are best done outside rush hours, particularly with bags. Kolkata station at Chitpur handles some long-distance trains and is another road transfer. Ask the property to arrange a pickup if you arrive late, and confirm the meeting point before you travel.
The nearest metro stations to New Town are Salt Lake Sector V at 6.7 km and Karunamoyee at 7.6 km, so the metro is a ride away rather than a walk. The Orange Line is partly open and expanding, and the Yellow Line reaches the airport at Jai Hind Bimanbandar, with services being extended. Check Metro Railway Kolkata for current stations, timings and interchanges before relying on a metro route. For most trips from this address, a cab is quicker.
| To | Distance | By road |
|---|---|---|
| Park Street | 14.7 km | 45–75 minutes |
| Esplanade | 14.7 km | 45–75 minutes |
| Victoria Memorial | 15.9 km | 50–80 minutes |
| Howrah station | 15.6 km | 45–80 minutes |
| Sealdah station | 12.8 km | 40–65 minutes |
| Kolkata airport (CCU) | 10.4 km | 35–55 minutes |
| Salt Lake Sector V metro | 6.7 km | 25–40 minutes |
| Karunamoyee metro | 7.6 km | 25–45 minutes |
Food and sights near Shraddha Residency 2
Eco Park is the closest sight, 4.2 km away, a large urban park opened in 2012 with room for a long walk or a cycle ride. Mother's Wax Museum, Rabindra Tirtha and the Biswa Bangla Gate sit in the same district and fit into the same outing. These are the places to use on a short stay, when a 45-minute ride into the centre is not worth the time.
Further out, Tangra and Tiretta Bazaar are 10.5 km away. Tangra is the centre of the city's Chinese community and Indian-Chinese cooking, and Tiretta Bazaar holds a Chinese breakfast market early in the morning. Mother House, the Missionaries of Charity headquarters on AJC Bose Road, is 13 km away. College Street with the Indian Coffee House is 13.4 km, and Marble Palace is 13.7 km; that last one is a private residence and entry needs a free permit, so check current arrangements.
Food follows the same geography. In the centre, Nizam's near New Market is credited with the original kathi roll, and Kolkata biryani, mishti doi and street snacks such as phuchka are part of any proper eating day. New Market, or Hogg Market, opened in 1874 and is the old shopping stop. Flurys, Peter Cat, Mocambo and Trincas around Park Street make a full evening, but they are a 45 to 75 minute ride away, so treat them as an outing rather than a quick bite.
- Eco Park (4.2 km)
- Tangra & Tiretta Bazaar (10.5 km)
- Mother House (13.0 km)
- College Street & Indian Coffee House (13.4 km)
- Marble Palace (13.7 km)
A day from Shraddha Residency 2
Begin close by. Eco Park is 4.2 km away and works best early, before the heat builds and while the paths are quiet, and a slow walk there fills a couple of hours. If you are up before dawn, the other early option is the 10.5 km ride to Tiretta Bazaar for the Chinese breakfast market, with Tangra next door for a look at the old Chinese quarter.
Use the afternoon for the centre. Mother House is 13 km away, College Street and the Indian Coffee House are 13.4 km, and Marble Palace is 13.7 km, so all three sit in one part of the map. Marble Palace is a private residence and entry needs a free permit, so check the current arrangements before setting out. The straight-line figures understate the road time, so keep the list short and start back before dark.
Come back to New Town for the evening. The hotel bar and lounge are the easy option after a day of transfers, and the roads calm once the office traffic drains away. For a final night out, take the 14.7 km ride to Park Street, 45 to 75 minutes by road, and eat at one of the old places there. Book the return cab before dinner so the evening does not end in a wait.
Booking tips and when to go
Book ahead for Durga Puja, usually late September or October, and for the Christmas period, when Park Street and Allen Park are lit from mid-December to New Year. Festival dates move with the lunar calendar each year, so check the current year's dates before fixing travel. Conference schedules at the Biswa Bangla Convention Centre also fill rooms in the district, so book early when an event is on. Confirm check-in and check-out times with the property in writing.
November to February is the best window for this area. The weather is dry and comfortable, December and January bring the coolest days with highs in the mid-20s °C, and Eco Park is pleasant for walking. Winter mornings can be hazy with poor air quality. March warms up, April and May are hot and humid with evening storms, and the monsoon from roughly June to September brings waterlogging. October rains tail off and November is easy.
Carry cash for taxis, markets and street food, though cards and UPI are widely accepted in hotels and restaurants. Insist on the meter in yellow Ambassador taxis, or book an app cab. Drink bottled water. Dress modestly and remove shoes at temples such as Kalighat and Dakshineswar, both a long ride from New Town. For the Sundarbans, arrange permits through the West Bengal Forest Department; for Shantiniketan, check Indian Railways for trains from Howrah to Bolpur.
