		New Elgin Hotel As you enter The New Elgin, warmth greets you. A silken Khada is drapped around your neck in a traditional North-East welcome, as sparkling cherry liquer spreads a Warm glow within.The phrase 'old world charm' is a palpable feeling of being sung and cosy in this quaint and charming 120 year old residence reminiscent of the heydays of the Raj.There is a lived-in look about the oldest hotel in Darjeeling. It is justified, considering that royalty and distinguished Heads of State have spent many moments here, appreciating the lithographs by Daniell and etchings by G.Douglass that adorn its walls. Dominique Lapierre and Mark Tully have found inspiration to write in its relaxed interiors. New Elgin has hosted the Crown Prince of Sikkim Tenzing Namgyal, the royal family of Bhutan, US Ambassador Galbraith and many more renowned personalities. Living in New Elgin can be an unforgettable vacationing experience by itself. Set aside a day from the tours to the beautiful spots in and around the town and enjoy the company of family and friends in an atmosphere of relaxation and enjoyment. You can immerse yourself in books from our well-stocked library. There is something about settling down with a good book surrounded by old pictures, paintings and reproductions on the walls and antic furniture that is such a special experience. The period Burma teak furniture, wooden floor boards and paneling, the crackling log fireplaces, the candle-lit dinning tables and the soft strains of the melodies wafting from the piano… each has a story to tell. Stories of the stylish life-style of its first owner, the Maharaja of Cooch Bihar, of John William Pavion and his lady wife Edith Agnes Pavion, who took the building on rent from the Maharaja and ran it as The New Elgin hotel from 1911-1930. Stories of Mrs. Margaret Walker and her legacy of the lavish Christmas parties which is continued even today. After being run by Mrs. Walker from 1930-47, the charge of the hotel passed on to Mrs. Nancy.
