Observatory Hill, BB Sarani Road
Observatory Hill is a hill near Chow rasta square, or The Mall as it is popularly known, in Darjeeling, West Bengal.
Two best time to visit Darjeeling is Spring from March to April and in Autumn from September to November.
Rooms : What is it about this 40-room place, dating back to the 1800s and the times of the British Raj Tea Planters, that makes it so appealing? All of our houses on Observatory Hill were formerly British Raj Boarding Houses for Bachelor Planters away from home. The rooms are exactly the same as they were back then, with roaring coal fires; hot water bottles in the beds; huge closets (that housed everything that the Tea Planter would ever have needed for his stay) and, best of all, a personal and warm service from the staff that is second to none. These old colonial houses are nestled in wonderfully blooming gardens, peeking out from behind picket fences and climbing roses. They are the only houses on Observatory Hill (the hill is an ancient holy shrine, with the Pundits and Monks offering blessings at the temple above); this elevation affords the guest a panoramic view of the mountains.. The food is legendary, with both Continental and Indian menus. The Continental cuisine still has remnants of the old Raj with such dishes as Roly Poly Pudding, authentically prepared porridge for breakfast and cheese & onion pie. You can wash this down with our lovely wines and finish up with a cup of steaming Darjeeling Tea or freshly ground coffee. During dinner, the dining room is transformed into a candlelit affair, with soft music floating around in the ether. White-gloved waiters seem to glide in and around the tables and soft conversations are flowing.
Bedrooms : All the rooms are furnished with all the most modern comforts that include attached baths.
Kitchen : *The food is legendary, with both Continental and Indian menus.
