The Xanadu Resort’s old-world feel is refreshing

One of the unspoilt beauties of Uttarakhand, Ranikhet reminds you of the British Raj with its colonial buildings and other paraphernalia. Being a cantonment, no major constructions have been allowed in Ranikhet allowing it to retain its old world charm.

Now Leisure Hotels has come up with a resort in Ranikhet. Called The Xanadu Resort, it is designed as a blend of colonial splendour and modern architecture. The 21-room resort is set on a hillock in the midst of oak, pine and cedar forests, and commands a great view of the snow-capped Himalayan peaks.

It is located away from the hustle and bustle of the town in the village of Majkhali, just outside the cantonment.

The package for a couple for two nights and three days ranges from Rs. 9,999 to Rs. 10,999 (including breakfast and dinner), and is valid till July 4.
