Over time, it transformed into a favourite retreat of British elite and Indian royalty seeking a pleasant country sojourn. The property has six buildings, lovingly restored to retain their colonial charm. The interiors are lavishly appointed with antique furniture. It is a Heritage property, the pride of Kumaon.

Our Room was We had an amazing experience in the Hotel and the courtesy Mr. Rajesh Ji General Manager of the hotel. He is amazing host and is a wonderful person in itself. He started our memorable joourney at Hotel with grand tour and elaborated history with welcome drinks and an evening High tea. The location of the hotel is the best part of the trip. We had booked 2 rooms in the Old wing on First Floor in the main building as suggested by Mr. Rajesh and we were absolutely happy and satisfied. It would be good to speak to Mr. Rajesh before booking the property. The rooms in the new wings have AC and Old wing doesnt have but you will not need it for around 10 months of the year at least. The hotel has a good restaurant and most importantly the staff is very very cooperative and helpful. The staff gives too much of importance to guest and takes care of the requirements. Mr. Rajesh is available round the clock at the hotel and gives personalised attention to every guest. The hotel has a very good housekeeping and in room dining. The decor is amazing and ample parking space is availeble.

We, three couples decided to bring in the new year at Ranikhet and booked at Windsor Lodge Ranikhet. After a 10 hour drive, encountering some tyre issues enroute, reached the property at around 6.30 in the evening. It was COLD and we were treated with steaming tea and some hot Pakoras. Rooms were warm with heaters kept on by the Staff. After dinner, we retired early, being tired from a long drive. Got up to a panaromic view of the Himalayan range with snow covered peaks in the background. How the three days flew away, didn't realise. It was a great trip and the staff at the property were extremely courteous and polite under the guidance of Mr Sharma, a smart, young, enthusiastic manager. Would recommend to anyone willing to spend some time in the hills but without the madness of hillstations.

Shocking to see a reputed group like ITC Hotels lending its name to such horrible property. Someone needs to educate the hotel operator the difference between heritage and dilapidated! The condition of the property is pathetic and service doesn't exist. Torn hand towels, no floor towel, plastic shower head, yellowed toilet seats, plastic dustbins with black black garbage bags, unclean painted walls....name sake heritage. The manager thinks broken means heritage. ITC should start a "WelcomDelipidated" brand for such properties. Water is served in used mineral water bottle, obviously unsealed! Shocking state of affairs. Does ITC has a surprise visit to such franchise operators to ensure that the brand name and customer experience is not spoiled.

We had stayed at some other WelcomHeritage properties, so the expectation was high here. Sadly, we were wrong. The rooms we got were not just colonial, it seemed the carpets, upholstery, mattress, bed linen and the bathrooms had also not been updated since the days of the Raj. Staff was nice, but poor upkeep of the set of rooms our group got, made some of us actually wanting to check out and look for alternatives!

We thought this was an ITC property hence decided to stay for a couple of days , but we discovered that ITC just markets it . The place and amenities were much below standards . The rooms were dark and dingy , the sheets and towels were dirty and worn out and the bathroom had cockroaches and dirt . Though the manager Rajesh Sharma was kind enough to give us alternate room, but I’m sorry to say the place is ill maintained . There was no lounge to relax in and we couldn’t sit out in the balcony as there were monkeys around . They started running on the tin roof from 6 am creating quite a racket . The staff are all very helpful . We moved out after one night stay only .

Well placed heritage property with leisure amenities. We Stayed in grand suite with fireplace and a decent guest g room that accommodated 8 family members in covid times. We choose time when caseload were light and ranikhet was almost covid free. Food was good and property is huge with almost all amenities. Ned a little better maintenance but can be discounted with pandemic situation. Nearest place to golf course and have a clear icy mountain view from rooms 🏔

This is the best place to stay in ranikhet. Old building is just like old british bunglow. Everything here is clean neat and as beautiful as ranikhet itself. Balcony views are serene and you can spot mountain peaks if weather is right. Staff here is extremely polite and ready to help with anything. Me and my family have a lovely one night stay here and we would definitely come back for more. Thank you !
