The Silver Oaks Hotel -
Luxury Hotels in Kalimpong, India Lounging in the landscaped gardens
in a profusion of colour, one is treated to
breathtaking view at the Silver Oaks, Kalimpong. The natural décor is
characteristic in the imposing Kanchenjungha which can be seen on a clear
day, blooming petunias and asters, the serrated violet edges of iris,
iridescent butterflies flitting through colourful azaleas, drooping
geraniums, proud orchids and heaven, temporarily descends on earth.
Sitting
in one of the quaint gazebos, the tea seems to be flavoured by the
refreshing winds of the Himalayas. The Silver Oaks was built in 1930 and
once belonged to the prominent architect Frederick Desraj who built the
old Teesta Bridge.
Service is personalized and available round the clock. High tea with cakes
and cookies is served in the tea
lounge or in the garden. Replete with
candle light dinners and tunes from the piano, the multi cuisine
restaurant can
make any evening memorable. The Oak Bar offers the choicest
of cocktails and snacks and you can also lose yourself in our well-stocked
library in the evenings.
Accommodation
The Silver Oaks is reminiscent of the British Raj with chamber
maids in frilled checked Aprons, the hot water bags in your bed and the
bed tea served with tea cozies and cookies. The teak, oak floorboards and
water colours and lithographs by the masters reflect the opulence of the
old times.
All the bedrooms are bright and sunny with a magnificent view of the
Mountains and landscaped gardens.
