5-star hotels in Kolkata
A shortlist of 5-star hotels in Kolkata, from landmark addresses near the Maidan to modern towers in Salt Lake and New Town. It is for travellers choosing between historic grandeur, business convenience and resort-style calm, with guest ratings from 4.2 to 4.8 out of 5.
Staying in Kolkata
Kolkata spreads around the Maidan, the large urban park separating the central business district from the riverfront, with landmarks such as the Victoria Memorial, Fort William and the Indian Museum close by. North of it, quarters like Shyambazar and Sovabazar keep narrow lanes and historic mansions; south, Ballygunge and Alipore are greener and more residential. These 5-star hotels sit across that map: on J.B.S. Haldane Avenue beside the central cluster, on Old Court House Street and Jawaharlal Nehru Road and Park Street in central Kolkata, in Alipore and Ballygunge to the south, and in New Town, Rajarhat and Salt Lake to the east near the airport road.
The mix suits different trips. Couples and sightseers are closest to the Maidan and Park Street; business travellers have addresses in Salt Lake and New Town; families get family rooms and children's pools at several properties, and resorts on the edges offer gardens and open space. The widest choice of facilities sits with the central hotels, while the quieter eastern addresses trade proximity for modern infrastructure.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Kolkata is served by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, about 15 km northeast of the city centre, with domestic and international terminals and taxis and app-based cabs available. Rail connections include Howrah and Sealdah stations, major terminals for trains from across India, including from New Delhi. Within the city, the metro is efficient and avoids traffic, while suburban trains, trams, buses and ferries on the Hooghly River are also options. Taxis and auto-rickshaws are plentiful, but metered fares may require negotiation, and walking is feasible in central areas for short trips.
When to go
The best time to visit Kolkata is from October to March, when the weather is cooler and drier. This period includes Durga Puja in autumn, which transforms the city with elaborate decorations and celebrations. Summers from April to June are hot and humid, with temperatures often exceeding 35°C, and the monsoon from July to September brings heavy rainfall and occasional flooding. Winter days are pleasant for sightseeing, though mornings can be foggy.
