About Us

Taj Bengal is a landmark luxury hotel in downtown Kolkata, in the exclusive neighbourhood of Alipore at the heart of its cultural heritage. Prominent landmarks—Victoria Memorial, Royal Calcutta Race Course, Horticultural Gardens, National Library, Eden Gardens and the Alipore Zoological Gardens—are all within walking distance. It is the luxury hotel closest to government offices and most consulates. The city’s commercial centre is just two miles (three km) away; 45 minutes’ drive to the airport. But for the twinkling views of the stunning Kolkata skyline, you could forget the hotel’s location in the centre of the bustling metropolis. Nestled in the city’s greenest precinct, you are in paradise, with lush flora teeming with birdlife and clear views of the Alipore Zoological Gardens. Designed by legendary architect Bob Fox, the architecture and interiors of our 5 star hotel in Kolkata is deeply inspired by the city’s famed art, culture and heritage. All around, grandeur meets understated elegance—you are awed by the lavish five-storied stone and marble atrium, bathed in glorious gold light each afternoon. Genuine antiques, priceless art, and traditional accents and colours are impeccably woven together with contemporary style and modern amenities.
