Why It Matters
The world's second hotel to earn LEED Zero Water Certification from the US Green Building Council, and also LEED Platinum certified. Home to landmark dining brands Peshawri and Dum Pukht. Adjacent to ITC Royal Bengal via covered walkway, giving combined access to 14 F&B outlets, 22 event venues, and two wellness destinations.
ITC Sonar bills itself as a 'business resort' — and on sixteen acres of lily-pond-dotted gardens near Kolkata's Science City, that's not just marketing copy. The architecture draws from the traditional Bengali baganbaari (farmhouse) aesthetic, with louvered screens, stone sculptures referencing the Pala dynasty, and water gardens full of koi carp and water lilies. Inside it's minimalist and sleek. Outside it genuinely feels like a resort. With 237 rooms, seven restaurants, and a walkway connecting it to sibling property ITC Royal Bengal, guests get access to one of India's largest hotel dining complexes.

An immersive and participative chocolate-making experience at the Fabelle Boutique, led by the hotel's Master Chocolatiers. More than just a shop — the boutique offers hands-on chocolate education alongside artisan products.
A fully equipped 24-hour gym with personal trainers available. State-of-the-art equipment — one of the stronger hotel gym setups in Kolkata.
