Nope..

But a Calcutta 'round up' would be good to hear of.. any good "must stay" places ?....

Will be there myself soon & would also be interested in some options..

Circular Hotel Kolkata,

Sorry cant give you any review.But can say that not located in a popular tourist area. The area is mainly muslim/christian dominated. Home of Mother Teressa is near by .Main city centre(Chowringhee/Esplanade) is about 3-4 kms from the hotel.Park Street is near by.From outside the Hotel looks ok.Not much decent road side food/eating place nearby (which is very common in other parts of the city)

Thanks ddutta.. I'll take a look.

Is there a 'must stay' place in Calcutta - a bit like the "Windsor" in Cairo ? A faded Raj remenant still ticking over with leftover charm...

Would be interested to hear about anything..

Thanks for the try and the Circular.

From what friends resident in Kolkata have said, the Fairlawn would be a great spot to stay.

Building 218 years old, though a hotel only since the end of WWII

Fairlawn Hotel is a good choice. It is popular with the foreign tourists due to its location. Strategically located at the heart of the city yet not much traffic. Lots & lots of decent eating places around the hotel. Shopping / window shopping will be an added advantage .
