MAYFAIR EXPERIENCE
Fifty-three rooms across the hillside
The categories carry Darjeeling's own names — Campbell for the deputy commissioner whose name the town's heart still bears, Lloyd for the Lloyd of the botanical garden, Orchid for the beds the rooms overlook. What separates them is position: near the conference hall, near Observatory Hill, or in the heritage core.
Lloyd's Cottages stand apart with valley windows; the Campbell rooms sit close to the working heart of the resort; the Heritage rooms keep the old house's proportions.
Eight cottages near Observatory Hill, their windows set to the emerald fall of the valleys. The most asked-for category on the property, and the right answer for a first visit.
The property's largest rooms, with a sitting room — built for the Darjeeling afternoon, which is long, cool and best spent indoors with the windows full of weather.
Arranged for parents and children together rather than across a corridor.
Thirty-six square metres carrying the name Darjeeling's central square still bears. Five of them.
Ten rooms placed beside the conference hall — the practical choice for a working stay in an impractical, beautiful town.
Five rooms at thirty-two square metres, each overlooking the orchid beds — the property's gentlest view, and its quietest corner.
Rooms in and around the original Nawabgunge House, where the ceilings are higher and the walls remember 1875.
