If you are visiting Kolkata for the International Book Fair, you can opt to stay at this hotel as the fairground in Central Park is about a 10-minute walk away. Recognized by the International Publishers Association, Geneva, this book fair is held in January every year and is a must-visit for bibliophiles. Publishing houses from different parts of India and the world put up stalls here. I make it a point to visit the smaller and newer publishers' stalls to find books by upcoming, talented writers. Another genre I look out for is translated work from other Indian or foreign languages.

A must-visit while staying here is the Zoological Garden, Alipore. It is a major crowd-puller in winter, especially for families with kids. I remember visiting the zoo with my grandmother, aunts, and cousins during winter vacation. Once you have met the residents of the zoo, such as the Bengal tiger, the fishing cats, the giraffes, the sloth bear, different kinds of deer, the colorful birds, and the reptiles, you can head to the restaurant for some refreshments. Many people also carry picnic baskets, but make sure that you don't litter or feed the animals.

Tip from Trip101 local expert
The hotel is only a leisurely stroll away from Victoria Memorial. Some of my fondest memories when I was a child are about family trips to Maidan and the iconic Victoria Memorial. The vast expanse of Maidan is bustling with young couples on dates, boys playing cricket and football, families enjoying picnics and horse rides, and locals jogging and doing their morning walks. After having spent some time here with cousins, we used to head to the nearby St. Paul's Cathedral and pray at the evening mass. Sitting by the banks of the Hooghly River while watching the sun go down on the city, is a spectacular experience. You can hop aboard the tram right after and enjoy a dreamy ride as it chugs along on the quaint streets of this historical city.
