Windamere Hotel
Darjeeling

Windamere is situated on historic Observatory Hill where Darjeeling began, and overlooks the Chowrasta, the town's exclusive promenade. From Observatory Hill, one can glimpse Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal and Sikkim, against a stupendous backdrop of twenty of the highest mountain peaks in the world.

Windamere, an enchanting colonial hotel was initially established as a boarding house around the late 1880's. 'Ada Villa', the Raj Boarding House, catered to British Tea Planters and others on contract during this time. It then changed into a hotel just before the outbreak of the Second World War. During the first Indian National Awards Ceremony, held in Delhi, in September of 1994, the Prime Minister presented Windamere with the Award for Excellence as a Heritage Hotel of India.

Rooms

Windamere hotel is split into two wings: The Windamere and The Little Windamere. The former, based in the main house called Villa, is furnished in traditional colonial style with flowery chintz curtains and a strict embargo on the intrusion of the modern television or telephone. This wing, whose suites have names as quaint as their décor, includes a honeymoon cottage, the House of the Eighth Happiness and Little Peppers.

The Little Windamere has bowed to modern exigencies and while it retains all the traditional qualities of hospitality, its décor is more modern and the rooms have televisions and telephones. .

Dining

The food is legendary, with both Continental and Indian menus. The Continental cuisine still has remnants of the old Raj with such dishes as "Roly Poly Pudding", "authentically prepared porridge for breakfast" and "cheese & onion pie". You can wash this down with our lovely wines and finish up with a cup of steaming Darjeeling Tea or freshly ground coffee. During dinner, the dining room is transformed into a candlelit affair, with soft music floating around in the ether. White-gloved waiters seem to glide in and around the tables and soft conversations are flowing
