Fodor's "The lounge draws a hip crowd every evening, and the garden is a great place to chill with a cold beer and tangri kebabs (chicken marinated in yogurt and spices)." Full review
Lonely Planet "Artful evening floodlighting brings out the best of the Astor’s solid 1905 architecture, while inside, walls are lavished with B&W photos of old Kolkata."

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
