4- and 5-star hotels in Kolkata
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels in central Kolkata, all on or just off Park Street and the streets around it. It is for travellers who want a classic city-centre base for a first trip to Kolkata.
Staying in Kolkata
Kolkata rewards a slow first visit: tearooms, jazz-age restaurants, Georgian tombs and the city's brightest Christmas all sit within the central belt, and the easiest base for a first trip is here. These hotels stand on and around Park Street and the neighbouring streets — Park Street itself, Little Russel Street, Shakespeare Sarani, Sudder St, Camac Street, Lindsay Street, Robinson Street, Collin St and Ajc Bose Road — so most of the addresses you read about are a short ride or walk from your door.
The mix suits different travellers. The Park Kolkata, The Aster Heritage, Kenilworth Hotel Kolkata and The Elgin Fairlawn Kolkata hold the strongest guest ratings, which makes them the natural picks for couples and short breaks. Larger houses such as The Hhi Kolkata and Kenilworth Hotel Kolkata, with thousands of reviews behind them, work well for families and longer stays, while The Astor, The Senator Hotel and Park Prime Kolkata fit business travellers who want to be in the middle of the commercial streets.

Ajc Bose Road
Ajc Bose Road carries two of the listed hotels, Park Prime Kolkata and The Hhi Kolkata. It is a broad commercial artery rather than a sightseeing street, which suits travellers who want to be on the city's working spine while staying within reach of the Park Street belt.

Sudder St
Sudder St is named by one address here, 13 A Sudder St, home to The Elgin Fairlawn Kolkata. The street sits in the same central cluster as Park Street, Mother Teresa Sarani and Lindsay Street, so it keeps guests inside the tearoom-and-restaurant belt.
