3-star hotels in Kolkata
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in central Kolkata, drawn from 15 properties around Esplanade, New Market, Chandni Chowk and Bow Bazaar. It suits travellers who want a metro interchange, the old office quarter and New Market within a short walk of their room.
Staying in Kolkata
Kolkata's central colonial core is a dense, walkable quarter where the metro interchange, New Market and the old office district sit close together. Addresses on this list cluster around Sn Banerjee Road, Ganesh Chandra Avenue, Chandni Chowk Street, Madan Street and Esplanade Row East, with a second group a little further west around Bow Bazaar, Grant Street and Mirza Galib Street. Several hotels also name Esplanade, Chandni Chowk or New Market metro stations in their address, which makes moving around the city straightforward.
Couples and short-break visitors are well served here: the top-rated addresses, such as The Panash Hotel & Banquets on Sn Banerjee Road and Broadway Hotel near Chandni Chowk Metro Station, sit right in the middle of the shopping and dining streets. Families and longer stays tend to do better slightly off the main roads, at Hotel Aura or Hotel Heera, where the pace is calmer. Business travellers benefit from the Esplanade Row East and Chittaranjan Avenue addresses, close to the office quarter.
