This exquisite hotel dates way back to the 18th Century and the times of the British Raj Tea Planters.

Nestled beautifully in wonderfully blooming gardens with delectable Indian and Continental cuisine served, it’s a true rejuvenation retreat.

It was then converted into a hotel just before the outbreak of the Second World War. During the first National Awards Ceremony for outstanding hotels held in September 1994,the Prime Minister presented WelcomHeritage Windamere with an Award for Excellence as a Heritage Hotel of India.
