Fondly known as the Grande Dame of Kolkata, The Oberoi Grand stands in the very heart of Kolkata amongst the bustling markets and cultural landmarks of the city. Dating back to the mid-1800s, The Oberoi Grand is renowned for its classic style, world class service and modern facilities. Colonial charm perforates every millimetre of this property, from the white-glove service to the grand piano and ornate chandeliers in the lobby.
The hotel features 209 elegant rooms. The classic marble bathrooms, polished wood furnishings and artwork depicting a historic Calcutta add to the nostalgic charm, while the complimentary WiFi service never fails to bring you back to the modern day.
Luxury dining is guaranteed at the hotel’s restaurants: threesixtythree°, Baan Thai and The Bar. The rooftop restaurant serves divine, inventive Indian-Continental fusion fare in an ultra-romantic setting, while The Bar delivers delectable Prohibition-style cocktails. Breakfasts are also an elegant affair with dishes such as pomegranate waffles, croissants and colourful fruit platters.
Located in a separate wing, The Oberoi Spa offers refreshing spa rituals, treatments, a steam room, sauna and fitness centre. There’s also an outdoor pool in a pretty garden, which functioned as a dance floor and an ice rink during colonial times. Reclining in one of the poolside peacock chairs with a gin and tonic is a must.
