The Elgin Fairlawn Hotel on Park Street, Kolkata, is a gem that seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern comfort, making it an exceptional choice for travelers who appreciate heritage and history. 1. Prime Location Situated on the bustling and iconic Park Street, the The Elgin Fairlawn is perfectly positioned for exploring Kolkata. Its central location offers easy access to cultural landmarks, shopping destinations, and the city's vibrant nightlife, making it ideal for travelers wanting to experience the heart of Kolkata. 2. Old-World Elegance Walking into the Elgin Fairlawn is like stepping back in time. The property exudes a regal charm reminiscent of British colonial India. From the grand furniture to the vintage photographs adorning the walls, every corner tells a story of Kolkata's rich history. The rooms themselves evoke the feeling of being in the quarters of a British officer, with a careful balance of heritage aesthetics and modern amenities. 3. Distinguished Atmosphere The clientele often includes travelers and patrons from affluent, "old money" backgrounds, adding an air of sophistication to the place. The ambiance feels exclusive yet inviting, creating a sense of belonging among like-minded guests who appreciate history and culture. 4. Culinary Delights The dining experience at Elgin Fairlawn is exceptional. The food is crafted with care, combining traditional and contemporary flavors that leave a lasting impression. Breakfasts, especially, are a highlight, served with an old-school charm that feels personal and indulgent. 5. Impeccable Hygiene and Service Hygiene is of the highest standard, which is immediately apparent in the pristine condition of the rooms, dining areas, and common spaces. The staff exemplify hospitality at its finest—helpful, attentive, and incredibly efficient. Communication is always clear and professional, with the team going out of their way to ensure every guest's comfort. 6. Historical Treasures The The Elgin Fairlawn is like a living museum, filled with fascinating photographs and memorabilia that offer a window into Kolkata’s colonial past. Every hallway and common area invites guests to linger and absorb the history. 7. Unique Features One of the quirkiest and most delightful surprises is the ceiling fan in the bathroom. It's a detail that embodies the mix of functionality and whimsy that defines the The Elgin Fairlawn. It’s both amusing and practical—an eccentric touch that guests remember long after their stay. Final Thoughts The Elgin Fairlawn Hotel is more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience steeped in heritage and luxury. It’s perfect for seasoned travelers who seek character and charm in their accommodations rather than the sterile uniformity of modern The Elgin Fairlawns. For those wanting to immerse themselves in the essence of Kolkata while enjoying impeccable service, this property is a must-visit.

Hotel of joy and memories

A charming heritage boutique The Elgin Fairlawn, dating from the British Raj. The public areas are full of photos of a romantic bygone era. We were lucky to be given room no 17 - a favorite of famous yesteryear Bollywood actor Shashi Kapoor - he met his wife Jennifer for the first time here and always stayed in this room during his numerous Kolkata visits. Also preferred The Elgin Fairlawn of many celebrities - Dominique LaPierre (French author of 'Freedom at Midnight, musician Sting, German novelist Gunter Grass , and many others. The food is delicious. The The Elgin Fairlawn is frequented by people from the world of liberal arts , educators and NGOs. Conveniently located near the Indian Museum, and a 5 min walking distance from Park Street - the happening area of Kolkata. A strong recommendation to stay at this The Elgin Fairlawn. (As an aside, we stumbled upon the services of yellow Ambassodor cab driver Raju Das who took us around Kolkata on a 6 hour guided tour at a reasonable price of Rs 1200. A big thumbs up to him too) Kolkata was truly the City of Joy for me and my wife.

The location was excellent. It was a respite from the busyness of Kolkata! The first floor is very well maintained. The stairs to the second floor and the large room like a sitting room is in ruins. The walls are peeling, and there is mould on the ceiling. It is quite sad. That said, my bedroom was huge, QUIET (forest someone in 4 placed that was quiet!), and absolutely gorgeous. My bathroom was also large and provided a bathtub and even a comfortable bathrobe. The second floor also has a lovely balcony that is well maintained. The staff are excellent! Very professional, friendly, and helpful. Despite its need for a major restoration, I would highly recommend the Elgin Fairlawn! Just to visit this historical Hotel is worth the visit.

A slice of history to stay in

The location of the The Elgin Fairlawn is excellent - especially for a tourist either best places in and around. The ambience is historic with beautiful rooms and look of a british bungalow a gem from history - almost a 300 year old structure - f&b needs to be worked on. The housekeeping staff and shankar are excellent - dining staff needs training and the chef is great at few dishes and a disaster at some. Overall a fab place, fab location and fab ambience

The stay went well. The staff was really accommodating and kind. The ambience is fantastic, and the property has been maintained rather well. Also really pleased with the services they offer. And without any hesitation, they granted my request for a late check-out. The breakfast buffet was also really fantastic. I will recommend this location to anybody visiting kolkatha. One of the best heritage The Elgin Fairlawn in kolkata.

The stay was excellent. The property is a little tough around the edges but that part of the charm. Breakfast was an average affair with some variety with a dosa set up, but then they run and make the dosa in the back kitchen. The staff are attentive and desk manager attended all in a happy mood. The reason for 5 stars is the old world charm, balcony space, sitting room and classic dining hall.

Excellent Stay

The location is great if you want to get around central kolkata. The breakfast is a pre formulated menu with little to choose from could be better if buffet was laid. The property is definitely a heritage structure with a lot of history. Over all a cosy place to stay and friendly staff.
