The Oberoi Grand
The
Oberoi Grand is affectionately known as the ‘Grande Dame of Calcutta’.
The Oberoi Grand’s neo-classical façade and grand pillared entrance
mark a successful fusion of classical and traditional Indian style and reflect
the city’s colonial heritage. Located in Chowringhee, the heart of Calcutta’s
commercial district and shopping centre, the hotel makes an impressive, luxurious
and convenient base for a business trip.
Cool green marble floors, Corinthian columns, balustrades, classical pediments
and palms all add to an air of turn-of-the-century colonial grandeur. All 213
rooms and suites convey the same sense of space, elegance and gracious living,
while providing every convenience that the modern traveller has come to expect.
Impeccable Oberoi standard service, fine dining in Indian and Thai speciality
restaurants, a world class Banyan Tree spa, state-of-the-art fitness centre
and 21st century communications make the Oberoi Grand the number one hotel in
Calcutta.
