Glenburn Penthouse

Why we like Glenburn Penthouse

Take in the spectacular setting from the Tea Verandah overlooking Victoria Memorial. Perfect for outdoor dining, and where breakfast and afternoon tea is served during good weather.

Facilities

Each of the nine spacious suites has an antique four-poster bed. Shades of celadon green, yellow and white are complemented by collections of art that reflect the historical theme of the hotel. Large ‘white-marble’ bathrooms are equipped with bathtubs and walk-in showers, with lots of natural light and Glenburn Therapy Darjeeling Green Tea bath accessories.

There are four suites that have a private balcony or veranda located on the eighth floor. We advise you to request these at time of booking. The Royal Bengal Suites have a direct view of the Victoria Memorial whereas the Calcutta Suites are facing another panoramic cityscape.

A rooftop terrace leads to an infinity pool with sundeck and loungers. There is a small spa offering treatments, a glass-walled conservatory serving high tea (included in the nightly rate) and a graceful dining room serving Bengali delicacies.

Activities

A key experience is the historical and cultural walks and tours that take you to unique places in the city based on any special interest you may have, or just a curiosity, interacting with local people, dining in their homes, and connecting with the fabric that makes up this vibrant but often misunderstood city. These tours are curated by the owners of Glenburn Penthouse and are thoroughly enjoyed by our clients. Please ask your Travel Consultant to arrange a meeting with the owners and family, prior to your arrival.

There is an excellent concierge service that gains access to the best tables in local restaurants, private boat charters, private tailoring and secret as well as mainstream shopping recommendations.
