The Elgin Fairlawn, Kolkata

The hotel is a heritage gem in the center on Kolkota. While it doesn’t boast the polish of a newer hotel, it checks the box on every comfort including AC, a beautiful upstairs sitting room full of historical photos and antiques as well as a lovely garden terrace to take one’s meals. The staff is gracious and attentive.

Being a colonial building the rooms were large and reflective of the era with period furnishings. However, the building is in need of some renovation and looks a little shabby in places. The kitchen provides a good selection of delicious food but the menu would benefit from more snack options after a day of sight seeing.

Clean room, clean bathroom, helpful staff, very good breakfast and great dining menu.

Yes. Rooms were clean and the staff were courteous and helpful

Great spot great staff, very pleasant room. The Elgin Fairlawn really saved me at the last minute and I am grateful for the hospitality!
