About Hotel Nor Khill

Nor-Khill, the heritage hotel of Gangtok in the Himalayas, known for its traditions, unchanged characteristics and ethnic Sikkimese ambiance. You are welcome as royal guests at Nor-Khill or in Sikkimese, the abode of jewels.

What is now the Kanchan Garden used to be a favourite vantage point of the Chogyal of Sikkim. The panoramic view of the lush green hills dotted by picturesque settlements, with the Kanchenjunga reaching for the skies in the backgrond, inspired him to sit up with a canvas set up on an easel and paint for hours.

Nor-Khill translates to the 'house of jewels'. Jewels, in this beautiful part of the world do not mean the literal 'precious stones', rather the connotation is far wider and more precious, encompassing the gifts of Nature - the mountains and valleys, the flowers and fruits. This house of jewels was built by the King of Sikkim in 1932 as a guest in which he received and entertained Heads of State and dignitaries. Today, the 4800 sq. ft. Function room is the imposing lobby of the best hotel in Gangtok. The heritage building still plays host to all-important visitors to the capital of Sikkim. From the Dalai Lama and the US Ambassador to India, to Union Ministers and movie stars, to you and your family, each and every guest at Nor-Khill is a VIP.

The imposing lobby is resplendent in the bright and bold colours of the folk art that adorn its walls. From the lucky design motifs depicting dragons and flame symbols, to the thanks or wall hangings, the ornate bachu and chocsue, or center and side tables, the regal look of the yesteryears have been proudly preserved. An in-house curio shop sells traditional artifacts and jewellery. Come, indulge yourself to the best Sikkim has to offer. Grace the Nor-Khill.

Hotel Specifications

Accommodation

Nor-Khill is an example of the typical Sikkimese architecture in midst of a serene atmosphere and greenery even in the heart of Gangtok.

This only Heritage hotel in Gangtok has 32 rooms, each of which have been done up to showcase the vivid colours and design elements that surrounded royalty of yore.

You will find Nor-Khill's rooms to be the peaceful haven that everyone looks for at the end of the day. When the day is done, and the memories of the exciting new adventures in this Shangri La is still fresh in your mind, there is nothing like the privacy and comfort offered to you in our spacious rooms.

Designed specially for royal guests and still maintained as they were originally, each room has all the modern amenities that you may need for a pleasurable sojourn at this Himalayan paradise.

Dining

Once the royal guesthouse of the Chogyal dynasty. Traditional decor, excellent cuisine and unique ambiance and with all the comforts of modern day living.

Hospitality is the Nor-Khill's heritage.

The Dragon Bar is a cozy little room in one corner with just the right atmosphere for settling down with your favorite drink. The wooden paneling and ornate Sikkimese motifs on the walls add charm to this quaint rendezvous

Whether it is a hearty meal at midday with sunlight streaming in through the glass windows or the finest traditional cuisine for dinner with the barely discernable aroma of exotic spices in the air, the Shangri La restaurant is the place for eating out in style at Gangtok.

Recreation and Health Center

Just as the royalty had almost everything brought to them, Nor-Khill's guests can buy authentic ethnic ware that are rare to come by today at the Curio shop set up right in the hotel itself. You can take home a rare carving or piece of jewelry instead of going far and wide in endless search of antics. Indeed Nor-Khill itself is furnished with beautiful antics from the land.
