The Bellevue Hotel is owned and run by Pulger Family in second generation, and in every way combines the peace and gentleness of that Tibetan family and its culture.

 This is the Bellevue Hotel mentioned in Lonely Planet, National Geographic Adventure, Let's Go, Rough Guides, Cadogan Guides, and other discriminating travel books, including those published in Japan, Korea and other countries.

Location:

The Bellevue Hotel is situated on the Mall, Darjeeling's prime area, and overlooks the Chowrastra, the main square with its magical mix of people from India, Nepal, Tibet, Sikkim and Bhutan. At the centre of Darjeelings pedestrian zone, their bright activities make up for banished exhaust emissions and engine noise.

Indian Airlines, Government Tourist Offices and a Cottage Industries showroom are the Hotel's tenants on the ground floor, together with an International Telephone Office and Internet Café.

The Hotel has panoramic views of the Himalayan Mountain Ranges stretching from Nepal, the entire Sikkim Himalaya, and, dominating all, Mount Kangchenjunga. Western Bhutan, and the Nathu La and Jelep La passes into Tibet and Bhutan are within the huge landscape surrounding the Bellevue Hotel.

Accomodation:

Well-furnished rooms are panelled throughout in warm juniper and pine, with polished wooden floors everywhere. All rooms have attached bathrooms with running hot and cold water. Log fires are available in the guest rooms in winter. A beautiful garden graces the back of the building.

The Bellevue is not a 'theme' hotel, pretending to be 'Tibetan' or 'Traditional' and merely decorated to look the part. It IS a Tibetan hotel, a private hotel, owned and run by a Tibetan Buddhist family. Guests come from all over the world - and come back - for the quiet friendliness of the Bellevue.
