New Hotels
Calcutta, West Bengal
Svenska Calcutta is being developed in a prime area in the heart of the city, on its main thoroughfare, Park Street. Spread over an area of 1,000 sq mtrs, it is going to be a 50‐room hotel, with four restaurants and bars, in addition to a 100 seat banqueting and conferencing facilities. In close proximity to all the major businesses as well as the entertainment and shopping districts of Calcutta (now referred to as Kolkata), all the action is just a short walk from the hotel. The world‐famous Victoria Memorial and its adjoining gardens (referred to locally as the “maidan”) are also a short drive away.
Connectivity to and from the hotel is also excellent. It is amongst the first properties on entering the proper city from the airport; and has easy availability of taxis, rickshaws, buses as well as Calcutta’s famous tram lines. The Metro station is not too far either.
