“Business luxury.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

Located on the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass (EM Bypass) the Sonar is the choice for business travellers to the City of Joy.

The EM Bypass, incidentally will soon be the happening place in Calcutta with several top class hotels coming up virtually next door to the Sonar.

The Sonar is a very comfortable hotel with large rooms and bathrooms. It is efficient, orderly and businesslike. It's NOT the hotel if you are looking for the old world charm associated with the city. For that you need to go to another hotel.

The hotel as it stands has only five floors and feels almost resort like with water bodies running throughout the property. A tower is being added within the campus which should be ready in a couple of years.

Food is great, with a great breakfast spread. The breads are particularly exceptional and the croissants are delightful. The restaurants are all " stand alone" standard, something we don't always find in 5 Star hotels.

Service is friendly and courteous.

There is a rather nice mall (Mani Square) ten minutes drive from the hotel(taxis are easily available) which has a very nice food court, shops and multiplex cinema. So....you needn't hang around the hotel all the time!

Room Tip: Some rooms MAY be noisy in view of the tower coming up next to the hotel. Best to check this aspect.

Dear valued reviewer,

Warm Greetings from ITC Sonar, Kolkata!!

We thank you for your kind words. The story behind ITC Sonar is very compelling – Bengal is the inspiration & ITC Sonar is ITC’s tribute to the City of Joy. ITC Sonar is arguably the first business resort in the country. A resort in the urban context. One that has the efficiency of a business hotel yet the feet-up-feel of a resort. An upscale, world class, Asia’s best business Hotel set amidst resort surroundings. A fine fusion of functionality and creativity in an aggregated best location. One that is a consonance with ITC Hotels’ ethos of reflecting “rooted in soil” but dynamic in form and philosophy.

ITC Sonar showcases a plethora of Food & Beverage offerings as well as Kaya Kalp- The Spa, spread over 15000 sq feet and offering a delightful retreat from the pressing modern world.

Warmest regards

Hotel Management

Dear valued reviewer,

Warm Greetings from ITC Sonar, Kolkata!!

Thank you for the warm feedback. When we set about creating the landscape of ITC Sonar, we scoured the landscape of Bengal. We saw grooves flirt outrageously with curvaceous water bodies. We saw water as the inspiration. Indeed, water is the very being of Bengal. Its food, fish comes from it. Love blossoms around the lakes. Even Goddesses are given fond farewells in the waters. Inspired by this, ITC Sonar consists of several reshaped water bodies that serve as the heart of the Hotel.

Look forward to your next stay with us.

Warmest regards

Dear valued reviewer,

Warm Greetings from ITC Sonar, Kolkata!!

Thank you for the wonderful note. When we embraced the blueprints of ITC Sonar, we were mindful that in term of sheer architecture, we would embody the contradiction that is Kolkata. It would narrate a story. The story of ITC Sonar is very compelling, architecturally designed by Kerry Hill & Associates of Singapore. It belongs in a collection of precedents, yet speaks for itself. It seeks to embody a special sense of place by referring to its past through suggestions and associations, rather than replications. It reinterprets the past. Doesn’t mimic it.

Should you like anything specific during your next stay, please do let us know when you make your next reservation.

Warmest regards
