Kolkata or more popularly known as Calcutta is nicknamed as the 'city of palaces'. During the British Raj the city was spotted with many palatial structures and the Great Eastern Hotel in Calcutta is regarded as one of them. The hotel is 150 years old and has been witness to the transition of the bullock cart era to the present day of automobiles.

This 4 star hotel is located at the center of the downtown city and is about 14 kms from N.S.C Bose Airport and 2 kms from Howrah Station. The hotel has 200 well furnished and air-conditioned rooms. The 12 halls of 36 sq.mts and the Darbar Hall of 640 sq.mts are the main attractions of the hotel. The restaurant of the hotel serves gourmet dining options that includes Chinese, Continental and Indian as well.

Being one of the oldest hotels of the country, the Great Eastern Hotel is the living testimony of the British legacy. The government of West Bengal has recently taken steps to restore the glory of the hotel. For restructuring purpose the government has decided to pass on the ownership of the hotel to private hands.
