See what is includedWhy Novotel Kolkata works for a press conference
New Town is where a growing share of Kolkata's newer offices, campuses and residential projects sit, and a press conference here keeps the story close to where it happens. For a company based in New Town, it saves the spokesperson and the team a cross-city journey on the day.
Accor's figures put the largest room at 495 sq m, for 140 seated or 240 at a banquet, with seven further rooms for smaller briefings and interviews. That covers most press conferences, from a focused business briefing to a launch with partners.
The trade-off is distance for reporters from central Kolkata. We plan the start time and the invitation around their journey, and send the release and photos to every desk the same day. The Salt Lake and Sector V guide covers the area's other options.
