One of Calcutta’s classic hotels, Taj Bengal has been a pillar of high-end hospitality and the favoured haunt of politicians, celebrities and royalty when they visit. As expected, the hotel boasts great leisure facilities including a wellness spa and outdoor swimming pool, and a butler service, should you need it.
OUR OPINION:
We particularly love the food scene at Taj Bengal, with options to suit every taste. The location is perfect for your exploration of Calcutta.

Rooms
The 200-plus rooms and suites are all equipped with modern facilities and comforts for the luxury traveler. Plush furnishings and marble bathrooms welcome you back after a day exploring. There are double and twin options at every level, and a stay in one of the Club rooms includes access to the lounge, where you can enjoy complimentary high tea and a daily happy hour.
Location
Set amongst lush gardens, the Taj looks out in all directions to the city around, with the racecourse and Victoria memorial within a very short walk. Calcutta’s main airport is around an hour and half’s drive.
Food and drink
Dine around the world at a choice of six restaurants offering Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Chinese specialties, or at the international all-day diner or pool side grill. You may wish to opt for something more local at the hotel’s resident Indian eatery and indulge on sweet treats at the in-house deli. For cocktails and a great selection of whiskies, the bar and lounge are an essential stop during your stay.
