For those who wish to sample a local flavour, there are good eating options serving local flavours.
Apart from the location, the hotel’s other USP are the stunning views of the
Kanchenjunga, which is some of the best views guests, can hope to obtain from any hotel in Sikkim. Guests should also note that the hotel has a small lawn where one can sit and enjoy morning views of the Kanchenjunga.
Here’s a tip for a memorable stay: valley rooms are especially good, but if it is not raining, do ask for valley rooms on the topmost floor. Those who are traveling in large rooms and are prepared to stretch their budget, opt for the Deluxe Valley View Room. This suite with its stunning views will make the guest’s stay worthwhile. Internet facilities are on offer, while those wishing to do business can avail of conferencing facilities, available along with the hotel’s restaurant.
