If you plan a stay at JW Marriott with your little ones, make sure that you include the nearby Science City in your itinerary. I remember visiting with my dad, especially during the summer holidays in school, and when Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park was a rage. Life-life structures of dinosaurs seemed so real at the time and a walk through the park while taking in every bit of this intriguing experience as a kid, was a fantastical experience. There are plenty of fun activities for families inside the science park that ensure a great outing together. You can spend time with the children while checking out Dynamotion Hall, Maritime Centre, and the Butterfly Nursery.

Oudh 1590, one of the best period dining restaurants in the city, is only a short drive away from Hyatt Regency Kolkata. If you want to experience Awadhi cuisine at its finest, then Oudh 1590 is the place to visit. You will be truly spoilt for choice when it comes to biryani and its various varieties here. I love to pair mutton biryani with nihari khaas or dal gosht when I am here. Don't miss the Galawti Kebabs that literally melt in your mouth. You can wash all of it down with a tall glass of badam sharbat.

Traveler's tips
Established way back in 1989, this hotel can run solely on its luxury brand name 'Taj'. It also happens to be located in one of the poshest neighborhoods - Alipore. The service in their cafe can sometimes get sloppy on slower days but I've had Indian Chinese cuisine in their in-house Chinese restaurant. Chinoiserie, and it was really good.
