Premium Hotels in Uttarakhand
Real premium hotels and resorts in Uttarakhand — every one visited and chosen in person, not picked off a ratings page.
Corbett, Uttarakhand
Aahana — The Corbett Wilderness
★★★★☆
Aahana sits on the Kosi river a little further from the park gates, on a wooded plot with its own stretch of riverbank and a resident troupe of langurs in the trees. The cottages are simpler and more rustic than the Taj's, in local stone and wood, several with a private plunge pool. There is a large communal pool, a spa, and a riverside deck used for meals and evening bonfires. Safaris into Corbett's Bijrani and Jhirna zones are arranged through the resort's own naturalists. It is a genuine jungle-lodge feel at a lower key and lower price than the riverside luxury resorts nearby.
Mussoorie, Uttarakhand
Kasmanda Palace, Mussoorie
★★★★☆
Kasmanda Palace was built in 1836 and later became the summer residence of the Maharaja of Kasmanda, right on Mall Road in the middle of Mussoorie. It keeps its turrets, wood-panelled halls and a small private chapel, hung with old hunting trophies and portraits, and it has featured as a film location more than once. The garden looks out over the town and, past it, the plains. The rooms are large and old-fashioned rather than modern, and the location, a level walk from Mall Road and the Mussoorie library, is hard to beat for anyone who wants to be in the town rather than above it.
Nainital, Uttarakhand
Manu Maharani, Nainital
★★★★☆
Manu Maharani sits on the lake road in Mallital, at the quieter end of Naini Lake from the main Mall Road bazaar. It now operates as Namah Nainital, a member of Radisson Individuals Retreats, under its long-familiar name. It is a modern hotel rather than a heritage one, built up in tiers so that most rooms get some kind of lake or garden view, with a spa, an indoor games room and a restaurant that opens onto the water. It suits travellers who want to be by the lake without the Mall Road crowds right outside, with an easy walk along the water to the boat jetty and the Naina Devi temple.
Rishikesh, Uttarakhand
Taj Rishikesh Resort & Spa
★★★★★
The Taj sits on a bend of the Ganges at Shivpuri, upstream of central Rishikesh, in the stretch known for white-water rafting. The rooms and cottages step down a forested hillside toward the river, most with a private balcony over the water. There is a spa, an infinity pool, and a rafting base run out of the resort for guests who want the river without arranging it separately. It keeps a quieter, more conventional resort format than Ananda's structured wellness stays — a base for rafting, yoga and the aarti at Triveni Ghat, about twenty minutes downstream.
