Rooms that Will Make You Want to Not Step Out

Every room in the hotel is adorned with watercolours of native fruits and flowers on walls, hand-carved four-poster, king-size beds, and Burmese teak floorboards that run from wall to wall.

En-suite marble bathrooms, high-speed internet connectivity for up to four devices and a dedicated butler through the day are just a few of the features that add to the luxurious functionality of the hotel’s rooms.

With five categories of rooms—the Lord Kitchener Suite, Deluxe Suite, Premier Mountain View Room, Premier Valley View Rooms, and Deluxe Garden View Rooms—the hotel brings back the musings of a colonial past. Soak in the understated opulence even as you savour the natural charm beaming all around you.

1. Deluxe Suite: Take in the panoramic views of the snow-capped Greater Himalayas from the comforts of the plush armchair in the room, sit at the fireplace to soak in the warm memories of a Victorian past in the pictures and paintings on the walls, or simply enjoy the luxuries and amenities in the suite.

2. Premier Mountain View Rooms: As is indicative of its name, the room offers a premier view of the mountains that surround this beautiful property. And not only can one see the Himalayas but also the sacred Gangotri, believed to be the starting point of one of the most sacred rivers of India, the Ganges. What’s more, the room is decorated to match up to the Victorian promise of the laidback property.

3. Premier Valley View Rooms: If the views of the mountains don’t draw you, turning to the sudden dips of a valley might be something you’d like to consider. Be prepared to be mesmerised with the show of the sun waking up to the morning hours, lighting up the hills afar. These rooms come with temperature-controlled indoor swimming pool and hot tub that face the majestic mountains. It’s ecstasy.

4. Deluxe Garden View Rooms: These rooms offer an unparalleled view of the well-manicured croquet lawns and garden in the property, bustling with native wildflowers. Enjoy breakfast in bed, as the romantic vistas of the world outside slowly but surely takes you over.

5. Lord Kitchener Suite: Live the royal life from the Raj days in this spacious suite with two en-suite bedrooms and a plush living room adorned with deep sofas. The master bedroom comes with an attached Spanish-marbled bathroom. The wall-to-wall window in one of the rooms in the suite is the perfect complement to the beauty that the sun paints outside. Adding to the Victorian feel is the watercolour paintings of Lord and Lady Curzon parading on elephants as well as the pictures of Lord Kitchener in his regimental attire.
