| Windamere Hotel has two wings:
The Windamere and The Snuggery |
| |
 |
| The Ada Villa |
|
The Windamere wing appeals
to guests who like tradition, who would be comfortable
in a bygone age, and who want a reminder of how people
got on with their lives in old Darjeeling. There are no
TVs and telephones in the main house called Ada Villa;
and only telephones, by request, in the Annexe.
Guests, who choose this wing, prefer to avoid the distractions
of modern life for the duration of their stay. |

Generations of newly-wedded
couples have enjoyed the quiet ease afforded by Tinker
Belle's Cottage (also known as Honeymoon Cottage).
The cottage is set apart from the rest of the hotel,
on a sunny little spur that rises just above Windamere's
Ada Villa. Couples return to the cottage for anniversaries,
to snuggle before the fire in the evenings, only to
remember and to dream of days long ago. |

| Annandale House |
|
The Snuggery
wing appeals to people who need to remain in touch with
modern life, even while they indulge their love of the
past and old things. The residential houses in this
wing, Annandale House, and Observatory House,
are provided with TVs and telephones.
The bathrooms have fittings which were once the property
of the Loreto Convent Girls School. These were donated
to Windamere Hotel when the Convent closed
down its boarding |
school after 130 memorable years. The
Convent is the oldest European school in Darjeeling
District, having been founded in 1846. It counts among
its many famous former pupils, Vivien Leigh, the actress
of "Gone With The Wind" fame.

| Entertainment:
Windamere has its own company of artistes, who perform
"The Songs & Dances of the Hills", in
an outdoor setting; and "Ghazals", in the
intimate setting of the hotel's Bearpark Parlour.

The itati Institutes
Centres for well-being of Mind & Body
'itati'
The name ‘itati’ was inspired by that incomparable
chanteuse Ms. Peggy Lee, who croons ‘Is That All
There IS?’ in a song of ineffable loss and loneliness
that rends our hearts. The goal of Itati is to mend
the wounded human spirit by creating psychic healing
space for fragmented minds and emotions. In touch again
with core human values, people see life in true perspective,
and discover their own personal path to inner harmony
& joy.
‘itati’ is an explanation of what gives
meaning to life; about how human life can be enhanced
and enriched. It is a path to well being, inner contentment,
wisdom and personal fulfillment. |
We take our first
steps on the Itati path to a better Mind and Body
through treatments for inner and outer well-being.
Fundamental to Itati healing is the concept that
matter transforms into energy, and that energy
influences and transforms matter.
By regulating the flow of energy within the human
body, by reconciling and harmonizing conflicting
energy impulses, itati brings the inner being
into equilibrium, and relieves physical and mental
stress. |
