Windamere is one of the
"ten most romantic hotels in the world", according to a chic French
lifestyle magazine.
Celebrated for its ambience, Windamere is regarded as a perfect example of
an inn of the British colonial era, "a jewel of the Raj".
Built in the mid-19th century, Windamere was a cozy boarding house for
bachelor English and Scottish tea planters. In early 1939, just before the
outbreak of World War II, it was converted into a hotel. |

ACCOMMODATION :
The hotel has two wings:
The Windamere and Little Windamere.
The Windamere wing is made up of Ada Villa and The Annexe. It appeals to
those guests who want a sense of life as it was lived in the days of the
Raj. The rooms are spacious with chintzy furnishings, and coal fires glow
in the hearth at night. There are no televisions or telephones in the main
house called Ada Villa. Telephone connections are provided in the Annexe only upon special request.
The Little Windamere wing appeals to those guests who wish to keep in
touch with modern life even while enjoying the atmosphere and amenities of
a bygone age.
Annandale House and
Observatory House, residential properties, are part of Little Windamere,
as is The Snuggery which houses the DHR Club. Both Annandale House and
Observatory House are equipped with televisions and telephones.
All rooms have fireplaces. The furnishings are bright, cheerful and
welcoming.
Generations of newly-wedded couples have enjoyed the quiet and ease
afforded by Honeymoon Cottage. The cottage is set apart from the rest of
the hotel, on a sunny little spur that rises just above Windamere's Ada
Villa. Couples return to the cottage for anniversaries, to snuggle before
the fire in the evenings, only to remember and to dream of days long ago.
There are 38 suites and bedrooms in all, at Windamere and Little Windamere.
