Rooms & Suites
One hundred and fifty-four rooms, nine categories
The categories divide first by what you look at — the tea, the jungle, or the hills — and then by scale, up through four named suites. Room areas are confirmed at booking; the outlook is what actually decides the choice.
Choosing between them
Suites carry the names of the roles that ran an estate — planter, manager, director. The Colonial Suite is the one with its own pool.
Suites
Director's Suite
The largest of the named suites, with a separate living room — built for the person who used to sign for the whole garden.

Manager's Suite
A step below the Director's and a good deal more than a room: a sitting area, and windows that face the tea.

Named for the planters who built houses like this one, and finished in the same timber the rest of the property wears.

Sukna Suite
Named for Sukna, where the forest begins on the road up to Darjeeling — and turned that way.

Heritage Room
The house style carried indoors — timber, deep window reveals and the proportions of a planter's bungalow.

Colonial Room
The Colonial category without the private pool — the same detailing, at the scale of a room.

Mountain View Room
Turned towards the hills. The view is weather-dependent and spectacular when the weather agrees.

Jungle View Room
Facing the trees instead of the tea. The quieter of the two outlooks, and the better one for sleeping.
