See what is includedWhy JW Marriott Kolkata works for a press conference
The range of rooms is the reason to look here. Few Kolkata hotels offer as many sizes under one roof, so the press conference can be matched to the realistic turnout: a Studio for a briefing, Ganga or Yamuna for a press conference with guests, Indus or Saraswati at 400 for a launch, and the Grand Ballroom when the announcement is part of a dealer meet or a conference.
The pre-function areas are large, at about 5,950 and 2,510 sq ft, which gives room for registration, a media desk and a product display outside the hall. The hotel sits on the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass near Science City, a middle point between the central desks and Salt Lake.
It suits launches with a display, automotive and consumer products, and announcements made in front of partners. For a news-led statement, a small room here or Press Club Kolkata may suit better. The cost guide explains how the room and plate count move the budget.

How we run it here
A press conference at JW Marriott Kolkata, step by step.
- 01
Brief and hall
The news, the guest count and the result you need decide the room, from a Studio for a briefing to Ganga, Yamuna or the ballroom for a launch.
- 02

Backdrop, speaker table, screen, sound and handheld mics for questions, with camera positions and power for crews checked on a recce.
- 04

- 05
The day and after
Media desk at the door, a moderated Q&A, one-to-one interviews, and the release with photos on every desk the same day.
Planning notes
What makes a press conference here go well.
A separate press room
Inside a large event, a Studio set for the press conference gives reporters a clear time and quiet sound.
Start time
We usually advise a weekday start between late morning and early afternoon, so reporters can file for the next day.
Display outside
Use the pre-function area for the product, so the hall stays clean for the presentation and cameras.
Signage
Clear directions from the entrance to the room; large hotels lose reporters on the way in.
Bengali and English
Spokespeople ready for questions in both, or a colleague who can take the Bengali questions.
Same-day release
Release and photos to every desk within hours.
