Overview & Setting
Novotel Kolkata Hotel & Residences is one of the largest hotels in eastern India and Accor's flagship property in the region, set in New Town, Rajarhat — the planned satellite city north-east of Kolkata. It combines 340 keys of hotel rooms, suites and serviced apartments with a broad spread of leisure and event facilities, including two swimming pools, a spa and several restaurants. The style is the practical, family-friendly comfort that defines the Novotel brand.
Its position in New Town, close to both the airport and the Sector V IT hub, makes it a natural choice for business travellers, families and conference groups who want space and full facilities away from the older city's congestion.

It is about 8 km from Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU), roughly 20 minutes by road — one of the closer five-stars to the airport. New Town's Eco Park and City Centre 2 mall are within 3 km, and the Sector V IT offices about 7 km. Central Kolkata around Esplanade is about 18 km, typically 45–60 minutes via the Bypass. There is no metro station within walking distance.
Rooms & Suites
Accommodation spans 280 rooms, 12 suites, a Presidential Suite and 47 serviced apartments — 340 keys in total. Rooms are contemporary and comfortable, with king or twin beds and work areas; Executive Rooms add lounge access. The serviced apartments, with kitchenettes and living areas, are a strong draw for extended corporate stays and families relocating to or visiting New Town. The scale of the property means a wide choice of layouts.
Dining
The Square is the all-day international restaurant, with buffet and à la carte. Sante is a 24-hour lobby bar, Café Joy handles coffee and bakery items, and Ministry of Kebabs focuses on grills and kebabs. A kids' menu and 24-hour in-room dining reflect the hotel's family-and-business orientation.

The hotel also has substantial banquet and conference space, making it a popular venue for weddings and corporate events in New Town. Free Wi-Fi, free parking and 24-hour room service round things out.
