Mayfair's Gangtok resort is one of the best-known hotels in Sikkim. The architecture borrows from monastery forms, with painted woodwork and tiered roofs, and the buildings step down a forested hillside with lawns and walkways between them. Rooms and suites are among the largest in the state, and many look over the valley.

The resort's facilities give it an edge on rainy afternoons: a spa with a long treatment menu, an indoor heated pool, a gym and several restaurants. The casino is a draw for some guests and easy to ignore for others. Its position below the town means a short drive into central Gangtok, and an easy start for the road west to Pelling or south to Bagdogra.

Questions travellers ask

Good to know

Does Mayfair Gangtok have a pool?

Yes, the resort has an indoor heated pool alongside a spa and gym, which is useful in Sikkim where outdoor pools are rarely practical. Families find it a welcome break between touring days. Opening hours and any maintenance closures are best confirmed at check-in.

How far is Mayfair from MG Marg in Gangtok?

The resort is a short drive below the town centre, typically 15 to 25 minutes to MG Marg depending on traffic. Gangtok's roads are steep and congested at peak times, so we schedule market visits in the early evening and keep your driver on call.

Is Mayfair or Taj Guras Kutir better in Gangtok?

Choose Mayfair for facilities, including the indoor pool, casino and spa, and generous rooms that suit families and groups. Choose Taj Guras Kutir for a newer, quieter resort with Taj service. Both are excellent bases, and we often decide on availability and the exact touring plan.
