The Elgin Silver Oaks

Dating back to the 1930s, this former residence of a renowned jute magnate has been transformed into a charming boutique heritage hotel. The property is set amidst vibrant landscaped gardens, offering clean, comfortable, and well-located accommodations with stunning views of the majestic Himalayan peaks. Period furniture, vintage lithographs, and thoughtfully curated bookshelves enhance the old-world charm. With its inviting atmosphere, the hotel serves as an ideal base for exploring the many treasures of Kalimpong.

The rooms at Silver Oaks are spacious, featuring classic wood paneling, pillars, and chandeliers. Vibrant rugs and soft furnishings add a splash of color to the décor. Each bathroom is equipped with both bathtubs and showers, while modern amenities like flat-screen TVs with satellite channels ensure comfort. Though primarily functional, all rooms boast stunning views of the Teesta River valley and the towering mountains beyond. The Silver Room offers a selection of European and Asian set menus, while the Garden Gazebo serves light meals throughout the day. For families, there's an activity center for children, and the Elgin Spa provides a range of treatments for relaxation.
