Kolkata wears its colonial past with effortless grace—and you can too, if you choose the right stay. These heritage hotels mix old-world elegance with modern comforts so you can sleep like a royal without giving up Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
The Oberoi Grand – Timeless Luxury in the Heart of the City
📍 Chowringhee Road | 💰 ₹12,000–₹20,000/night
White columns, grand staircases, and a pool that looks like it belongs in a movie scene. Perfect for those who like their history with a side of five-star service.
The Elgin Fairlawn – A Storybook Stay
📍 Sudder Street | 💰 ₹6,000–₹10,000/night
Since 1783, this green beauty has hosted film stars, writers, and travelers from all over. Think fairy lights on the veranda, vintage photos on the walls, and tea in the garden.
The Lalit Great Eastern – The “Jewel of the East” Reimagined
📍 Dalhousie | 💰 ₹8,000–₹15,000/night
Once the most luxurious hotel in Asia, now restored with Victorian, Edwardian, and modern wings. Stay here for arched corridors, polished wood furniture, and a touch of grandeur in every detail.
The Rajbari Bawali – A Royal Getaway
📍 Bawali (1.5 hrs from Kolkata) | 💰 ₹8,000–₹15,000/night
A 300-year-old palace with towering pillars, open courtyards, and candlelit dinners. Far enough to feel like a retreat, close enough for a weekend escape.
In these stays, history isn’t just something you read about—it’s the bed you sleep in, the hallway you walk down, and the courtyard where you sip your morning tea. And with Mony, check-ins are as smooth as the marble floors.
