On a recent visit to Gangtok, I was fortunate to stay for two nights at the Denzong Regency. This Welcome Group property owned by Thinlay Densapa of Bermiok is perched on a ridge above the Densapa house, Cherry Bank. Commanding possibly one of the best view points in Gangtok it is only 1 km from the town but quiet and secluded. This mountain retreat has 25 well appointed rooms all facing Kanchenjunga. Personal care and attention is a hall mark of this property. Very often the owner Mr Densapa makes his rounds of the hotel interacting with the guests and ensuring that they are comfortable and looked after. The young and dynamic Operations Manager, Bikash Ghemraj spares no effort to ensure high standards of hospitality and service. To contact the hotel please do visit www.denzongregency.com.
