Premium Hotels in Kashmir
Real premium hotels and resorts in Kashmir — every one visited and chosen in person, not picked off a ratings page.
Gulmarg, Kashmir
Kolahoi Green Heights, Gulmarg
★★★★☆
Kolahoi Green Heights is a modern four-star hotel in the middle of Gulmarg, about two hundred metres from the Gondola base station. It opened in 2017. The rooms are large and simply done, with wood floors, warm colours and big windows onto the meadow or the pines. There is a restaurant, room service and heating throughout. The location is the strength. The Gondola, the meadow, the church and the golf course are all a short walk, which matters in winter when the snow is deep and cars struggle. It is the premium option in Gulmarg for travellers who want a comfortable, central room rather than a full resort, and it works well for one or two nights in the mountains.
Pahalgam, Kashmir
Pahalgam Hotel
★★★★☆
The Pahalgam Hotel opened in 1931, and it is a Pahalgam institution. It sits in the heart of the main market, on about two acres of lawns and chinar trees, with the Lidder river a short walk away. The rooms are spread across a few blocks, and many look toward the river or the snow line. The style is old-fashioned in a good way: warm, well kept, family-managed. There is a restaurant known for its Kashmiri food, a bar, a garden and a spa. The taxi stand for Betaab, Aru and Chandanwari is close, and so is the riverbank path. It is the premium choice in the centre of Pahalgam, for travellers who want to walk out of the door into the town and the valley.
Srinagar, Kashmir
Taj Dal View, Srinagar
★★★★★
Taj Dal View sits on Kralsangri hill, above the Brein shore of Dal Lake. It opened in 2011 and was refurbished and reflagged as a Taj hotel. The setting is the point. The hotel is built along a clifftop across about six acres, and most rooms and the pool deck look straight down over the lake to the old city, with the Zabarwan range on the far side. Inside there is careful Kashmiri metalwork and woodwork, an outdoor pool, a spa, and three restaurants, including a Pan-Asian room. The airport is about half an hour away, and the Tulip Garden is a five-minute drive. It is the premium choice for a Srinagar stay with a big view, and an easy first or last night around a flight.
