Kolkata Airport Hotel
Kolkata Airport has one fact that shapes every hotel choice: no hotel here runs a free shuttle, so the question is how far you are willing to travel and what the transfer costs. One hotel, the Holiday Inn Express, is across Jessore Road from the terminal and a ten-minute walk from the gates. Two full-service hotels in Rajarhat are 10 to 15 minutes by cab, and three New Town hotels with pools, spas and serviced apartments are 20 to 25 minutes away, all with paid airport cars at fixed prices and all written up here with families in mind. The guides below cover the Yellow Line metro and the prepaid taxi counter, the single integrated terminal, sleeping in the airport and its retiring rooms, day rooms, lounges, hotel transfers, the overnight connections to Bagdogra, Port Blair and the Northeast, Durga Puja travel and whether a layover is long enough for the city.
