"A great hotel at a decent price" The Kenilworth Tip by RickinDutch

Have stayed at the Kenilworth many times over the years. Keep coming back to it because it offers a restful and elegant feel without the huge costs of the more upscale hotels.
My favorite is the original wing. Rooms are spacious, light and airy. No A/C in the old wing but with the fans going and the shutters open it is perfect. And you don't have to readjust to the heat and humidity when you leave your room.

Note: My last stay here was in the mid 90's. With all the improvements going on in Calcutta there may not be an old wing or an outdoor restaurant. The web says they have a swimming pool now.

Unique Qualities: The patio restaurant is pefect after a hard day in Calcutta. A tall chilled Black Label beer and a great meal under the banyan tree does wonders to cut thru the dust and help get your head back on straight!
