Taj Chia Kutir Resort & Spa Darjeeling

A lovely property in the midst of the tea gardens. We had the pleasure of staying at this resort with our family and like all our previous experiences at a Taj property, the service is outstanding. I have stayed at multiple Taj Hotels over the years and I have always received service that goes above and beyond. The Taj Chia Kutir was a very relaxing stay. We had a combination of villas, suites and the luxury mountain facing room - and they were all extremely well appointed and comfortable. The welcome tea was delicious! The breakfast buffet was extensive and the chef made excellent dosas for us! Thank you! The fresh orange juice is not to be missed! The musicians at the bar every evening made the bar lively! They sing very well and we looked forward to listening to them every evening. This is a lovely hotel with exceptional service. We had a very enjoyable stay.

We had a Family wedding in Jan 2025 and we had the most amazing and memorable experience! Special thanks to all the amazing people at the Hotel who went out of their way to take care of us and comfort us. Special mention and Gratitude to Head Chef Mr. Tilak for taking care of all the requirements and serving us with so much positive energy and Mr. Saushit the F&B head, Abhijeet and Anshuman and all others at the restraunt. We also had wonderful mornings at the Yoga deck and Ms. Manisha the yoga instructor was very helpful. Overall it was a great experience and I recommend everyone to visit this place.

Our stay over New Year was truly memorable. The location in an organic tea estate couldn't be better for the Darjeeling region. We enjoyed two self-guided walks through the beautiful tea gardens. The morning yoga sessions with Manisha were another highlight - sunrise views from the yoga terrace. Pool and steam room facilities were also well managed by Prosonjeet. The breakfasts were excellent and included salad greens from the hotel's own vegetable garden, which you can visit. The afternoon chanting sessions by the ******* monks from a nearby monastery added a special touch to our stay, as did the tea tasting session. All in all, this is a very special property and will be appreciated by nature lovers.

Warm welcome, comfortable stay, good food and experienced work force. Enjoyed many in-house and outdoor activities. Tea testing session (forgot name of Mr blender very knowledgeable person) he explained everything about tea very well. Morning yoga sessions, mantra chanting by monks, daily tambola with jingles by MR.APIL and MR PRAJU during evening high-tea. We won in tambola and got makaibari green tea as a memory. Tea garden trail with APIL AND PRAJU’s songs was also a unique experience. Both are very prompt at their work with smiley face.kids enjoyed temperature controlled pool. We also visited tea factory.The chef MR SOUMYA PRASAD is also very much concerned about guest’s requirements.on last day of our stay we went to sonar gaon fine dine to have dinner and specially to taste special cuisines of NE and BENGAL. but all tables were reserved. We were returning with little bit disappointment. By chance on stairs the chef Mr Soumya prasad met us and he asked about our dinner. I told him the story. He took action and had a conversation with manager at restaurant. Then both of them said sir tables are fully reserved but you order with sonar gaon menu we will serve the same at verandah the another restaurant. We ordered and enjoyed the food served by Mr ROHAN DARJEE. Rohan served well with smiley face and explained many things about the NE and Bengal cuisines.The chef and Rohan so nice.The only disappointment was from our room side. We were given room on 4th floor in 2nd block which is almost last corner of the property.we booked valley view. But our room was not actually valley view. There were many bushes and trees in front of our balcony and because of the corner room was not proper valley view. We asked to change our room in same category but at better view point. We were told that we have rooms of same category in 1st block also but totally sold so we can’t give you today. We will change the same on 2nd day of your stay. Next day they also denied. Basically they didn’t tried. On check out also they don’t have knowledge about your package. 20% discount was applied in every bill of F&B and spa as per package but 2000 daily hotel credit was not applied initially but when I asked for the same they applied this. I think this should have been done suo moto.even after check out there are some memories for guests. A lady member came to us at car landing area to see off and also asked us about stay and comfort and finally said good bye with a gift pack of makaibari green tea. Overall experience was wow. I can say Taj is committed to serve. Thanks to team taj chia. Praveen jain, ranchi

We planned our stay for 2 days at Taj Chia Kutir Darjeeling. This was our one of the best stays in terms of hospitality and comfort level. The property is very lavish, neat and cleanly maintained by Taj Group. The hotel provides luxurious rooms with big size washrooms, high-quality dining options, farming tour, and stunning views of the tea gardens and mountains Each and every staff is very trained and always ready to fulfill your needs. I would like to mention few names also who helped us in making our stay a memorable one. Souvik is the guy who helped us a lot in making our stay a memorable one. He helped us with each and everything we demanded anytime in the property. He has provided unmatched level of hospitality and taken special care of child special food needs also. He arranged special birthday arrangements for us. Nitu Prajapati - She helped us a lot in terms of managing our all request related to bookings and pricing ***** with room allotments and decoration requests. She was very much responsible in making our stay at Taj Chia Kutir. Lokesh and Kaustav helped us in performing the room decoration and arranging other request in restaurant on priority in timely manner for us. Overall, it was very good and luxurious experience, thanks to Taj for making our trip memorable . Looking forward to visiting again in future. Thanks, Rahul Kumar

Terrible service and got double charged, even after refund, lost most due to exchange rates. Staff felt laboured when asked to prepare breakfast a certain way. They kept running out of things like almonds or cookies at chai time. Oberoi does a 10 time better job for similar pricing. They have a monopoly in the area but service is severely lacking.
