The Elgin is the oldest heritage hotel in Darjeeling. While much has changed around the hill town, at The Elgin you still get a feeling of yesteryear.
The Elgin Hotel is something of an institution in Darjeeling. It was built in 1887 and was the former summer residence of the Maharaja of Cooch Behar. Over its 135-year-old history, it’s played host to dignitaries and celebrities. It lies at the heart of Darjeeling making it an ideal base for exploring ancient monasteries, the nostalgic Himalayan Railway and the surrounding valleys and pine forests. After exploring, there is a spa offering stress-relieving massages. The Elgin has a wonderful setting, surrounded by fragrant gardens and with views of the Himalayan range. This heritage hotel has been restored to its former colonial glory, with oak floorboards, cosy fireplaces and Burmese teak furniture.
