Premium Hotels in Assam
Real premium hotels and resorts in Assam — every one visited and chosen in person, not picked off a ratings page.
Guwahati, Assam
Vivanta Guwahati
★★★★★
Vivanta Guwahati is a Taj-group hotel on the eastern side of the city, near Khanapara. The rooms are modern and well finished, with Assamese patterns worked into the design. There is a spa, a bar, an all-day restaurant and a rooftop with city views. Staff know the region and arrange cars and guides. It sits on the road out toward Kaziranga and the Shillong turn-off, which makes onward drives straightforward, and it is a short run to the temples and the river. It is the premium choice for a city-based start to an Assam trip.
Jorhat, Assam
Banyan Grove, Jorhat
★★★☆☆
Banyan Grove is a colonial tea bungalow on the Gatoonga estate, a few kilometres from Jorhat, run as a small heritage hotel. It is a working planter's bungalow: a long low house with a deep veranda, set in a garden among the tea. The rooms are large and plain, in a period style, and the food is Assamese and planter's-club English. The estate around it is still picked and processed, and a walk through the gardens with the manager is easily arranged. It is a short drive to Nimati Ghat for the Majuli ferry and to the gibbon sanctuary. It is the premium option for a Jorhat stay that puts the tea garden first, at a gentler price than the manor.
Kaziranga, Assam
IORA – The Retreat, Kaziranga
★★★★☆
IORA – The Retreat is a resort set in tea gardens at Kohora, just outside Kaziranga's Central Range gate. The rooms are large and modern, in low blocks among lawns and tea. There is an outdoor pool, a spa, a gym and a good restaurant, and space for children to run. It is the closest full-service resort to the main safari gate, so mornings start with the shortest drive. It arranges every jeep and elephant safari, and has its own naturalists. It is the premium choice at Kaziranga for travellers who want a pool and a spa alongside the wildlife, rather than a stilted forest cottage.
