Courtyards and lily ponds separate accommodations blocks; the rooms to ask for are the ITC One rooms, with bathrooms which overlook natural light courts and the Olympic-sized pool and spa are welcome respites after a day trudging Kolkata's streets.
Lonely Planet "Proudly eco-friendly, the rectilinear buildings of this 2003 'seven-star resort' are ranged around attractive lily-ponds which naturally filter and recycle liquid waste."
Fodor's "Although this is essentially a business hotel, the Sonar feels like a resort, with a picturesque pond of lotuses that are set in lush landscaped gardens." Full review
