Novotel Kolkata Hotel and Residences
Novotel Kolkata Hotel and Residences is the hotel for a family with time to fill. The 293 rooms and suites and 47 serviced apartments occupy a large complex in New Town’s Action Area 1C, about 20 minutes from the terminal, with an outdoor pool and children’s pool, a spa, a 24-hour gym and four places to eat. Accor labels it family friendly, and the apartments with kitchens make it the one airport-area hotel where a family can settle in for a week rather than a night.

Premier rooms are the same size with Premier Lounge access and 15 percent off food and soft drinks, and the Suites of 53 square metres add airport transfers and laundry to that. In the Residences, Studio Apartments of 44 square metres have a kitchenette and One Bedroom Apartments of 53 square metres a full kitchen, both sleeping three or four. All rooms have air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, a work desk, tea and coffee making facilities, a minibar and a safe.

Breakfast and Dining
The Square is one of the city’s largest all-day restaurants and serves breakfast from 7:00 am to 10:00 am with live counters, Bengali dishes and international choices; it is included in many rates. Cafe Joy does Blue Tokai coffee, Tea Box teas, Speak Burgers and Le 15 hot chocolate with artisanal ice cream, which is the family’s afternoon stop. Ministry of Kebabs is the evening restaurant for kebabs and biryani, and Sante, the bar, is open 24 hours for cocktails, wine and bar food. Room service runs around the clock. For an early flight, Sante and room service are the answer before The Square opens.
Facilities and Services
The outdoor pool has a separate kids’ pool and a relaxation area with loungers, and the InBalance fitness centre is open 24 hours. The spa has five treatment rooms, a steam bath, a sauna, a jacuzzi and a beauty salon. Eight meeting rooms and 30,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space make this a big wedding and conference hotel; weekend guests should expect it. Parking is free and the hotel is wheelchair accessible. Check-in is from 2:00 pm and check-out at noon. Note the tax line on room rates: 5 percent GST applies to rooms under ₹7,500 and 18 percent above.
