Fondly known as the Grand Dame of Kolkata, The Oberoi Grand is situated in a prime location, near the central business district, bustling markets and cultural landmarks of the city. Dating back to the late 1880s, the hotel was frequented by the country's leading figures during colonial times and even now, hosts grand functions for Heads of State in the city's largest pillarless Grand Ballroom. On one side of the hotel, rooms afford views of Kolkata's bustling market spaces. On the other, private balconies overlook the quadrant garden and swimming pool. Each room is tastefully furnished with either king, queen or twin size beds, upholstered with colonial style prints, carpeted with plush wall to wall carpets and equipped with modern facilities. Bathrooms are fitted with a full length bathtub and shower. Dining options include La Terrasse - for multi-cuisine fine dining in a French-style bistro and Baan Thai - for award winning Thai delicacies in an authentic ambience. Elsewhere, step back in time at the Raj style Chowringhee Bar, or relax at the spa where you can choose from a smorgaboard of therapies.
