about
Windamere Hotel Darjeeling
Windamere is situated on historic Observatory Hill, where Darjeeling
begins, 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.
It is "One of the three Jewels of the Raj", said a celebrated
travel writer of The Windamere Hotel. Established in the 19th century as a
cozy boarding house for bachelor English and Scottish tea planters, it was
converted into a hotel just before the outbreak of the Second World War.
Well known to sophisticated travelers the world over, the Windamere is
famous for its unique ambiance and charm, and has been the subject of many
leading stories in the international media.
