3-star hotels in Kolkata
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Kolkata's New Town, drawn from the 114 3-star stays in the city. It is for travellers who want a straightforward base near the airport and the convention centre rather than in the old city.
Staying in Kolkata
Kolkata is a city of colonial-era streets, tram lines and grand riverfront buildings, but New Town is a different matter: a planned district on the eastern edge, laid out in Action Areas and blocks, built around offices, hospitals, malls and the convention centre. It is useful for early flights and conferences, yet it sits a long way from the sights of the old city.
These hotels sit in New Town and Rajarhat, in blocks such as Action Area I, Action Area III and the streets around Newtown and Ecospace Business Park. That makes the shortlist a natural fit for business travellers and conference guests, for couples and families who value quiet and space over proximity to Park Street, and for anyone with a dawn departure. If your trip is built around the Victoria Memorial and the old city, base yourself elsewhere.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
New Town is a planned district on the eastern edge of Kolkata, and it is useful for early flights and conferences but a long way from the sights of the old city. Plan on road transfers between New Town and the old city rather than quick hops. Within the district, addresses run by Action Area and block, and by numbered streets such as Street No 305, Street 229 and Street 2, so give drivers the block and street rather than a landmark. Read the New Town area guide or compare every Kolkata area before you fix a base.
When to go
New Town is built around offices, hospitals, malls and the convention centre, so the district's busy periods follow the working and conference calendar rather than the seasons. Kolkata itself is at its most comfortable in the cooler months, while the summer months are hot and humid and the monsoon brings heavy rain. If your trip is tied to a conference or a flight, the working calendar matters more here than the weather.
