ITC Royal Bengal, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Kolkata

Absolutely stunning hotel—truly the best in Kolkata! The property is massive, almost like getting lost in a luxury maze. The pool area is breathtaking, and guests enjoy complimentary access to the sauna, steam room, and hot tub—perfect for relaxation. Breakfast is exceptional: diverse, delicious, and beautifully presented. I’d love to come back again. The only minor issue was staying on the 70th floor—there’s likely a rooftop bar above, and occasionally, I could hear loud creaking sounds from furniture being moved, especially chair legs scraping the floor. A simple fix like adding felt pads or a soft rug might help reduce the noise. Otherwise, this place is nearly flawless!
