Nor-khill has long been regarded as the most coveted place to stay at Gangtok. Now operated by the Elgin group, this hotel was originally built as a royal guesthouse. It is situated on a narrow ledge and commands an excellent view of Mount Kangchendzonga. The interiors are exquisitely furnished with antique furniture, traditional carpets and rich thangkas. The maintenance is... More

The Nor-Khill is a true gem for travellers here in the eastern Himalayas.

Elgin Nor Khill lives up to expectations of the royal heritage hotel it claims to be. To point out the USP is its superb service - be it the airport transfer, room service, restaurant service, check in / out. I would specially like to mention the impeccable service of the restaurant.

Elgin Nor-khill is the most comfortable place to stay in Gangtok. Infact when we planned our trip we stayed at all elgin properties @ Darjeeling, Pelling, Kalimpong, Gangtok. When in Gangtok, for travel you must contact this taxi driver directly - Tenzing @ 09775815767. Very honest and great guy !

I seem to be a minority here as I see a lot of reviews praising the glory of Nor Khill. However, my experience was very different. There are a very few things I liked at Nor Khill. The hospitality. And the proximity from the market. That's about it. It was all downhill from there. We stayed at Nor Khill in... More

Attention ! This is a false fake review by a hotel competitor associate aimed at defaming the hotel. The hotel holds no records of this guest stay. Also the general history of guest reviews on the hotel is also standing proof that this review is false. More

This beautiful old residence was the former guest house of the King of Sikkim and has been maintained to a very high standard. More expensive than you need to pay in Gangtok, but worth a splurge. Great service, though much of the experience has been geared to higher-end tourists and tour groups, which definitely takes away much of the spice... More
