A heritage-style resort on the Mall, opposite Raj Bhavan, with 53 rooms in an old main building and newer wings, a spa, a library and landscaped gardens. About 1 km from Chowrasta, it suits families and couples who want comfort with space.

Mayfair Hill Resort stands on the Mall opposite Raj Bhavan, the Governor's summer residence, about 800 metres from Observatory Hill and roughly a kilometre from the busy end of Mall Road. The property mixes a colonial-style heritage building with newer blocks, set among terraced gardens. There are 53 rooms across categories, from heritage attic rooms to suites and family rooms.

Facilities are the fullest in Darjeeling town: a wellness spa, a restaurant, a library, a games room, a children's play area and a fitness centre. It is a good choice for families who want space and for couples who want a quiet walk back along the Mall after dinner, away from the bazaar traffic.

Why we like it

  • Full-service resort with spa, library and gardens
  • Quiet Mall location opposite Raj Bhavan
  • Family rooms and a children's play area

Watch out for

It is a resort-style hotel on a slope, so expect steps between blocks, and it feels less intimate than the small heritage houses.

Does Mayfair Darjeeling have a spa
