I've been hi-jacking Sagnik's blog to trawl for helpful suggestions of what to do in Kolkata for three days in December. It seemed a very logical thing to do: ask for information on West Bengal from the place where there's a perpetual Bengali conference and party going on.
Unfortunately everyone seems to be too shy to answer, so I am opening this in a different forum too :-) The second part to the question is more specific: does anyone know anything personally about the Great Eastern hotel there?

We still haven't managed to get to the tulip fields; the rain that was so scarce during the winter months have now returned, ensuring that the fields would be soggy and we'd be wet and miserable.
So I'm still making do with some of last years photographs, the title banner for the blog is a crop from one of those, and there's been a sprinkling earlier in the blog. Here is one more; amazing to see how much Angel Face has grown in a year!

I don't know if staying at the Great Eastern is a good idea. Its (still) run by the West Bengal Government, if that gives you some idea. Also read India Uncut where you can search for Amit Verma's 'interesting' stay at great Eastern. So all in all I would suggest - probably not.
Hope that helps!

No idea for the trip, but just wanted to say, Angel Face is the perfect name - beautiful tulips too.
