The LaLiT Great Eastern Kolkata

The LaLiT Great Eastern Kolkata

10/10 Excellent
"LaLiT is a historic building, near the colonial seat of power when Calcutta was the capital of the British Raj. The traffic around the hotel is chaotic, not to mention crowded. But the staff were wonderful. My husband and I enjoyed our stay, and will stay there again when we are next in Kolkata."
