Fodor's Expert Review Taj Bengal
34B Belvedere Rd., Kolkata, West Bengal, 700027, India Fodor's Choice
A fusion of traditional and contemporary Indian aesthetics, this hotel on the edge of the city center comes with spectacular views of the Maidan and the Victoria Memorial. Modern Indian art, artifacts, and antiques are showcased throughout the building. Rooms, which you access via quiet triangular atriums, are essentially Western, with Eastern accents and Indian prints. Ask for a pool-facing room, which provides a wonderful view of the Victoria Memorial.

- a wide array of in-house restaurants serving cuisine from all over the world
- Taj Khazana houses exclusive souvenirs from all over India
