I visited Siliguri and Darjeeling 2 months ago, and stayed with Sinclairs in both locations. Having written a review on their Siliguri hotel, I thought it was a good idea to tell everyone how Sinclairs Darjeeling made my holiday an idyllic one!
Set in a peaceful and serene location, just a walk away from the main town area, Hotel Sinclairs Darjeeling promises a wonderful holiday like no other. It is an indulgent hotel experience and provides a delightful escape, especially in the summer season. The hotel has well appointed twin bedded and double bedded rooms, suite rooms and even special honeymoon rooms, all of which are heated, comfortable and spacious with modern amenities. The rooms are beautiful, although the furnishings could be better, and the bathrooms have scope of being made lavishly. The rooms overlook the majestic Kanchenjunga mountains. One look at these snow-capped montains will transport you into a different world altogether!
The multicusine restaurant in the hotel offers food ranging from authentic chinese, to tandoori delicacies. There is a large variety in the vegetarian and non-vegetarian section. The delicious dishes are neither very spicy nor oily as the chefs maintain the perfect balance. Room service is excellent, and delivered very quickly. The high point bar also offers a regal view of the Himalayas… don’t forget to try one of the exotic cocktails- highly recommended after dinner!
The hotel staff are happy to arrange rock slimbing, white water rafting, a visit to the tea gardens and mountain climbing. If you are interested in sightseeing, they are ever-ready to guide you.
I would highly recommend this hotel, one of the best in Darjeeling. The hotel staff are very friendly and do more than enough for you to make you feel cared for and special. They make you feel like a valued guest in their hotel.
I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!
