Windamere Hotel - A Colonial Heritage

I booked this property for my honeymoon and it was a great decision the hotel has a colonial feel and a peaceful aura there are two restaurants in the hotel but one must enjoy the candle light dinner it’s a must the staffs are very kind and helpful they will fulfill all your requirements. The spa is also very good.The food is delicious and the continental cuisine is the main show stopper. There are a lot of gardens in the property so you can enjoy the nature as well,I would like to come here again in the future as there is no hotel in Darjeeling like this. Kudos to the whole windamere team. Thank you see you soon.

The Windamere is nothing short of a romantic fairy tale, which transports you into a bygone era. Classic, charming and elegant is how I’d describe it Don’t expect proficiency in timings, room Service etc. Come to the Windamere if you want a Darjeeling style relaxed and luxurious getaway. Yes it is a bit expensive but you’re paying for more than just a room - you’re paying for history. If not staying there, definitely visit for a meal or even afternoon tea on the lawn and if it’s cold, in the music room, where they will light a fire for you. There’s a beautiful garden which i love for yoga and meditation. Each guest room in the heritage wing is named after one of the royals who stayed there and is unique in its own way. Go up to the terrace and look through the telescope for a stunning view. The other side overlooks the mall/chowk. We met Amit who was so warm and hospitable and gave us a lot of insights to the property and its heritage. The dining room is quaint - you would definitely want to have a sit down meal here too.

It’s the best place ever, with the best staff, amazing food and in the lap of the Himalayas. This can’t get better than this. Excellent place and excellent people. It’s the people that make the place beautiful and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. May God Bless you all.

We spent 12 nights at this wonderful hotel. It took a bit of adjustment as we were not expecting anything quite like this. Some of the hotel is almost 200 years old. But that adjustment took less than one day and then we did not want to leave. The staff of this hotel are phenomenal. Their service level is outstanding and we have loved every minute of our stay. We LOVED our room. # 19 Miss Pierce is the name of our room. Great internet, high ceilings, masses of space with a living room/office space, bedroom and very modern plumbing and lighting. The food was superb, all the way. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sugar-free desserts made for us were excellent. The candlelit dining room is so lovely and we so enjoyed the old music from the 40’s and 50’s. A huge thank you to the chef whose name I do not know but oh wow, he is a great chef! Jamuna in the spa is very good at her job and we both loved her. We had lots of massages and I had a facial. She did an excellent job. Shuvhana (Sales Manager) greeted us on arrival and is lovely. Abinay (Operations Manager) is always visible, willing to listen and most helpful at all times. Amit (General Manager) is very good and watches over everything. Housekeeping: They are all excellent and work so hard. Our room was always so well looked after and always cleaned early so we did not have to wait. Lakhan, Rajiv and Dupen were fabulous. Many thanks to them for all they do. Ajay (Housekeeping manager) is very good at his job and is very nice always and listens to guests’ concerns. Renu (Asst Housekeeping manager) was often seen checking up on everything. Front desk staff rank up there with the very best in the world. They are very knowledgeable and always go out of their way to be helpful and caring. They are very personable and good with guests. NEVER impatient, always listening with a nice sense of humour. Komal is a very special asset to your hotel. She is really fabulous. So is Shaw who greeted us on our first night and was very patient with all our questions. Pradhuman is a very nice *** with such a warm, welcoming smile. Ashish has been very helpful always. Our wonderful breakfast (and some other meals) waiter, Palson always remembered what we liked to have. His service was always very good and he is a very nice young ***. Pranesh is doing a great job and always willing to take advice and learn. He is very good. Saroja and Anita are lovely ladies who are always friendly and good at their job. Saroj has been our main evening waiter and he is FANTASTIC. He looked after us so well at dinner and provided magic at every meal. He is as good as it gets and we will never forget him. Anup, Food and Beverage captain, was awesome. Always there quietly supervising and checking to see that our needs were met. We liked him so much. Shiva (Food and Beverage manager) was very good also and most helpful at all times. Thank you to both these gentleman who are very good at their jobs. Anmol (Bar) was always read

It's just not a stay .. it's an experience and you have to stay there for the experience. Excellent location and couldn't find anything to comment even negative about it. In the lap of Mahakal temple and overlooking the mall.. every iconic place of Darjeeling is in 2 mins walking distance from the property. Amazing views from rooms and common areas..
