3-star hotels in Lansdowne
This shortlist gathers 3-star hotels in Lansdowne, the quiet hill cantonment town in Uttarakhand's Pauri Garhwal district. It is for travellers who want pine forests, colonial heritage and Himalayan views without giving up a restaurant, parking and a 24-hour front desk.
Staying in Lansdowne
Lansdowne is a small hill station shaped by its colonial past, the Garhwal Rifles Regimental Centre and a setting of pine forests and Himalayan views. St. Mary's Church, St. John's Church, Tip Top Point, the War Memorial and the Garhwal Rifles Museum are the sights most visitors come for, and the town is small enough that most places sit within walking distance of each other. Nature walks, trekking towards points such as Snow View, birdwatching and exploring the colonial heritage fill the days.
The hotels on this shortlist sit at different points around that town. Several cluster close to the centre, on Palkot, Gounu Palkot Road and Jherikhal Marg, between 1.2 and 2.4 kilometres from the middle of Lansdowne. Others sit further out along the Pauri Road side towards Fatehpur, Tushrani and Jadala, or away at Bairagarh and Eeda Malla. That makes the list suit couples and families on a short hill break, and travellers with a car who prefer a resort setting over a market-side address.
