The comfort and
luxury of the Old World awaits
you at the oldest hotel in Darjeeling.
Welcome to New Elgin, a world set apart for you. A world that takes you back to the elegant lifestyle of the Victorian
era. A hotel set amidst green conifers where
you never lose touch with nature. A charming reminder of the days of Old British Raj when Maharajas and
the nobility retreated to this high altitude haven away from the heat
and dust of the plain. New Elgin is a well-preserved Victorian mansion dating back to 1885.
It still retains every
bit of the ambience of its former owner’s princely lifestyle and taste: it
was the Maharaja of Cooch Bihar’s home away from home in
Darjeeling.
As a hotel, New Elgin
has extended its hospitality to the kinds of people who know the real
worth of living in style. The Maharaja held most of his parties at this
mansion entertaining the royal guests in its cozy interiors with wooden
paneling and floorboards, Tibetan rugs, tasteful furnishings of Burma
teak, crackling log fireplaces and discreet uniformed waiters ready to
serve you at all hours.
Living in New Elgin can
be an unforgettable vacationing experience by itself. Set aside a day
from the tours to the beautiful spots in and around the town and enjoy
the company of family and friends in an atmosphere of relaxation and
enjoyment.
If the thirty luxurious
rooms of this mansion could speak, there would be many a story from the
lives of the sophisticated elite to be heard, many a nostalgic account
of the idyllic days in the mellow sunshine at the park or cheerful
evenings at the Timber Bar
