What we love
- A beautiful heritage hotel in a fantastic location with a colonial feel
- Rooms are furnished with sleek wooden dressers, cosy rugs and elegant chandeliers, and some rooms have warm open fires
- Well-located near the markets and main shopping area, and a short walk from the zoo and mountaineering institute for the more adventurous traveller
- Buffet meals serve up cuisine from India, China and across the world, and you can also enjoy afternoon tea with Darjeeling classics in the lounge as the aristocracy did here long ago
- This was one of the first places in India where you could go hot air ballooning over the Himalayas with a romantic flight for two, or even a paragliding session
Some parts of the hotel need updating but it’s clean and comfortable
While the hotel does not have a pool, their spa offers haircuts and massages and even has a sauna
There is no elevator, so keep in mind if booking for people with mobility issues that you’d best opt for a ground floor room
Families are welcome, but amenities are not designed with families in mind.
The hotel tries to mitigate the use of single-use plastics and provides refillable glass water bottles in the rooms and washable straws with drinks.
Located on Gandhi Road in Darjeeling, a 2-hour 40-minute drive from Bagdogra Airport and close to the town’s main shopping area.
