About Burdwan and Coochbehar
A Pair of Storied Banquet Halls at The Oberoi Grand
Burdwan and Coochbehar are two distinguished banquet halls housed within The Oberoi Grand, Kolkata — one of the city's most iconic luxury hotels, located in the heart of Dharmatala. Named after the royal principalities of Bengal, these halls carry a sense of heritage and grandeur that is deeply rooted in Kolkata's aristocratic history. Together, they offer a versatile event setting that blends colonial-era elegance with the refined service standards that The Oberoi Group is known for worldwide. The architecture and interiors reflect the classic character of The Oberoi Grand itself — a property that has been a landmark of Chowringhee since the 19th century — making these spaces a natural choice for events that call for something more than a generic function room.
Events & Occasions
Burdwan and Coochbehar are well suited to a broad range of celebrations and professional gatherings. Their scale and setting make them popular choices for wedding ceremonies and receptions, engagement parties, and milestone social events where atmosphere matters as much as logistics. Corporate planners regularly use these halls for conferences, seminars, product launches, board meetings, and gala dinners, where the prestige of a five-star Oberoi address lends weight to the occasion. The ability to use the two halls independently or in combination gives organisers meaningful flexibility — a smaller, more intimate gathering can be hosted in one room while the full complement of both halls can accommodate a larger, more expansive event. This adaptability makes Burdwan and Coochbehar practical as well as prestigious.
The events team at The Oberoi Grand brings considerable expertise to every booking, coordinating catering, audio-visual requirements, décor, and logistics under one roof. In-house catering draws on the hotel's culinary heritage, with the ability to offer both Indian and international menus tailored to the occasion. The level of personalised service that guests experience throughout the hotel extends fully into the banquet and events operation, ensuring that hosts and their guests are looked after from setup through to the final farewell.
Location & Accessibility
Dharmatala places Burdwan and Coochbehar at the centre of Kolkata's civic and commercial life. The Oberoi Grand sits on Jawaharlal Nehru Road — the city's principal thoroughfare — within easy reach of major business districts, cultural institutions, and the city's network of transport links. Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport is accessible from the hotel, making it straightforward for outstation guests to attend events here. The central location also means that guests arriving by road, metro, or taxi face no difficulty finding the venue. For those travelling from outside Kolkata, the hotel's own guest rooms mean that wedding parties, conference delegates, and VIP attendees can stay on-site, reducing logistical complexity considerably. This combination of a storied address, central Kolkata positioning, and the full-service infrastructure of a luxury hotel makes Burdwan and Coochbehar among the most dependable banquet choices in the city.
