Hotel overview

The Oberoi Grand in Kolkata is one of the oldest and most elegant hotels in the city, dating back 125 years. It beautifully blends classical Victorian and traditional Indian styles, with a grand pillared entrance and a beautiful neo-classical façade. Located in the heart of the bustling city, just opposite Maidan, the city’s most popular park, The Oberoi Grand acts an oasis. It’s home to a large crisp pool, a spa and numerous dining options. The rooms and suites are spacious, traditional and well appointed with all the modern conveniences you’d expect from an Oberoi. Expect carved wooden colonial style furniture, luxurious fabrics and traditional Indian artwork. We feel this is a fantastic option for those looking to stay in a hotel with history.

Excursion

Sunday Flower market and Walk in Dalhousie Square

Early morning you will be taken to witness an activity, which is quintessentially Kolkata, mud wrestling. Every day at sunrise the sport is performed to worship the rising sun; it has religious as well as health connotations.  On the banks of the river you will see devotees praying to the river and the sun as well as taking a holy dip. Afterwards you will return to your hotel through the enormous wholesale flower market. Later enjoy a heritage walk of Kolkata called the “Second City of the Empire”. Start from the Treasury Building in Dalhousie Square and continue to St. John’s Church, up to the Kolkata General Post Office (GPO), and around past the Collectorate Office and the Writer’s Building – the seat of the state government. From here you will continue down to the Old Court House Street where you will pass the Old Currency Building. Cross over to see the Postal Sorting Office as well as the Central Telegraph Office.

Excursion

Kolkata City Tour

You will start your tour of the city, driving through the crowded areas of Chitpur Road in North Kolkata.  This will give you an idea why the city was known as the “City of Palaces”.  Afterwards stop at Kumarthuli, otherwise know as the potter’s quarter, where throughout the years potters work on making life size idols of various deities.  Your path next leads you to College Street, the centre of many student movements, and the site of the University.  College Street also boasts some of the finest second hand bookshops in the city. You will stop at the Coffee House, the local hangout for students, where discussions range from sports and politics to the current price of fish!  Afterwards head to Jorasanko, where you will visit a museum dedicated to the Nobel Laureate, Rabindranath Tagore. You will also stop at the elaborately carved Jain temple where your morning tour will end. In the afternoon you will visit the city’s landmark, the Kali Temple, dedicated to the patron goddess of Kolkata. She’s often seen in her bloodthirsty form, garlanded with skulls. The road leading up to the temple is packed with stalls selling not just religious icons but also vibrant pictures of Indian deities and items used in worship.  The temple itself is always crowded; this is also one of the few temples that still perform animal sacrifice.  From here the tour takes you to the Victoria Memorial, architecturally a bizarre blend of Islamic and Italian renaissance architecture.
