West Bengal
From the grand colonial boulevards and riverside palaces of Kolkata to the misty tea gardens and Kanchenjunga views of Darjeeling, West Bengal pairs old-world elegance with dramatic Himalayan scenery.
Colonial grandeur meets Himalayan tea country
Taj Bengal
A landmark of understated luxury in Alipore, Taj Bengal wraps its guests in marble atriums, lush courtyards and Bengal's most celebrated hospitality traditions. It remains a favored address for discerning travellers seeking fine dining and gracious, old-Calcutta charm just minutes from the city's cultural heart.
The Oberoi Grand, Kolkata
Known for generations as the 'Grande Dame of Chowringhee,' this restored 19th-century landmark blends colonial architecture with impeccable Oberoi service. Its palm-fringed courtyard pool and central location make it a timeless base for exploring the city's museums, markets and riverside promenades.
Windamere Hotel
Perched on Observatory Hill since the 1880s, the Windamere is a beloved relic of the Raj era, all wood-fired fireplaces, four-poster beds and afternoon tea served on the lawn. Guests wake to sweeping views of the Himalayan foothills and a sense of stepping back into a gentler, tea-planter age.
Glenburn Tea Estate
A working tea garden turned boutique retreat, Glenburn offers just a handful of rooms across two colonial-era bungalows overlooking the Rangeet River valley and the peaks of Kanchenjunga. Days here revolve around plantation walks, tea tastings and unhurried mountain views rather than a conventional hotel itinerary.
Mayfair Hill Resort
Set within terraced gardens on a quiet hillside, Mayfair Hill Resort combines Tudor-style cottages with cozy fireplace lounges and panoramic views of the surrounding tea-covered slopes. It's a popular choice for travellers wanting resort comforts alongside Darjeeling's colonial charm.
