Sterling Ooty Elk Hill is a small and tranquil set up with incredible views of the surrounding hills and valley. Amid lofty Nilgiri peaks and low passing clouds, the sloping roofs and terracotta tiles of the resort emerge and vanish. As you look out on the Ooty valley from your room’s balcony or sit-out, time seems to stand still.

We stayed at The Sterling Ooty Elk Hill Hotel from 21st Sept 2023 to 26th Sept for 5 days. We has a great time. Though located 3 kms from the base at a hight, it has a great view of the entire valley below. We has a big family room for 4 adults with a nice balcony too.The ambiance, service and entire staff was very good and professional. The inhouse restaurant Cafe Blu serves a variety of Veg and Non Veg dishes but the food rates are very high. A mention should be made specially of the restaurant's serving staff Ms Tulika and Mr.Sadiur who were very nice, very helpful, and courteous in their work. All other staff there viz.Ms Anitha, Mr Rinshad and also the Master Chef were very good, polite to us and everyone. The Front Office desk staff were also very friendly and professional in their work. The entire property is quite big and there are several activities to do within it for all. It has 150 rooms of different categories to choose from. All in all, it was a memorable experience for us.

We stayed here for 4 nights. This is a good destination to unwind oneself as well as for serious tourists. Very good ambience. House keeping very good. Ms. Keerthana & Mr. Shankar attended to our needs very well. The food is great. Ms. Anitha & Ms. Ashwini served us very well. It is not the mere serving. It is the love and care. Great. Last but not the least Mr. Mugilan took care of our needs when we needed it. Great.
