Luxury Hotels in Assam
Real luxury hotels and resorts in Assam — every one visited and chosen in person, not picked off a ratings page.
Guwahati, Assam
Radisson Blu Hotel, Guwahati
★★★★★
The Radisson Blu is a modern five-star on the bank of the Brahmaputra, on the edge of Guwahati. The rooms are large and well kept, and the upper floors on the river side look straight out over the water. There is an outdoor pool, a spa, a gym and several restaurants, including one for Assamese food. It is a short drive from the Kamakhya temple, the ferry ghats and the airport road east to Kaziranga. It is the most comfortable base in the city, and the easy choice for a first or last night around a flight.
Jorhat, Assam
Thengal Manor
★★★★☆
Thengal Manor is a country house in the tea gardens outside Jorhat, built in 1880 by the Barooah family, who still own it. The house is little changed. Wide verandas, high ceilings, old furniture, family portraits, a library. The first Assamese-language daily newspaper was printed here. There are only a handful of rooms, so it is quiet, and meals are Assamese home cooking. The gardens run to the tea, and a walk before breakfast is part of the stay. Majuli, the gibbon sanctuary and Sivasagar are all day trips from here. It is the way to stay in the tea country rather than pass through it, and the luxury choice for a Jorhat leg built around heritage and tea.
Kaziranga, Assam
Diphlu River Lodge
★★★★★
Diphlu River Lodge sits on the bank of the Diphlu, a small river that marks the southern edge of Kaziranga, opposite the park. The cottages are built on stilts, in bamboo, cane and thatch, in the local way. Each has a private deck looking over the river or the forest. They are simple and well made, with no televisions, and the sound at night is the water and the birds. It is a small lodge, run on eco-friendly lines, and it is the property the British royal visit chose in 2016. The park's Central Range gate is a short drive, and the lodge arranges every safari, with naturalists who know the animals. It is the best stay at Kaziranga, and it books out well ahead in season.
