Glenburn Tea Estate & Boutique Hotel

A 1,600 acre private tea estate in the Indian Himalayas.....

Glenburn Tea Estate's Boutique Hotel is a product of the loving restoration of a century old colonial bungalow on our family estate in Darjeeling, high up in the Indian Himalayas, with breathtaking views of Mount Kanchenjunga - 3rd highest peak in the world. Blend this with a thousand acres of verdant private forest, miles of lush green tea-fields and quaint tea-picker villages, myriad bird specie

s, two sparkling rivers teeming with Rainbow Trout and Golden Mahseer, and you can imagine why Conde Nast Traveller describes Glenburn as, “a little corner of heaven…..and almost as remote”. The only hotel of its kind in the region, Glenburn is a destination where you can do as little, or as much as you desire, and is one of the few places in India where you can walk through stunning countryside all day, and return to sumptuous luxury, delectable cuisine and gracious hospitality at night. Darjeeling and Kalimpong towns are just a day trip away, and with half-a-dozen, full-day activities offered as part of an all-inclusive package, a typical stay ranges from 3 nights, up to a week. After a decade of inspired guest experiences and great feedback, the Glenburn brand of tea-and-hospitality is now world famous, and our latest exciting project is a stylish penthouse boutique hotel in Calcutta, from where Glenburn's expert guides conduct historical and academic tours of this most fascinating, but often-forgotten city. Limited to 8 spacious and well-appointed panorama suites, where your every need is anticipated, our philosophy is to create intimate havens of luxury where visitors can deepen their understanding of local culture, history and cuisine as we indulge you; our special guests.

Thank you for this beautiful coverage.

Afternoon Tea is indeed a luxury, and a chance to slow down and enjoy moments of calm, joy and camaraderie - amidst the antique china cups - all hand carried over to Glenburn with love - the delicious treats you describe - all prepared by our local community staff.

It’s crisp and cool right now during Christmas week - the poinsettias are blooming, the mountains are clear and the Burra Bungalow is brimming with guests.

Come visit! Merry Christmas 🎄

Thank you for this lovely write up on the Spring Tea Trail. We loved hosting you and exploring the remarkable synergies between tea, gin, foraged ingredients, gourmet food and of course the greatest company!

Thank you Team Rare for honouring and celebrating Glenburn at Bridges 2024. This gathering of our special tribe of boutique hoteliers is so important and this year we ‘bridged’ important conversations, exchanged ideas, took home inspiration, boosted morale, and celebrated this emotion we all share - That small is Rare, small is Special - but together we represent a force to be reckoned within the world of hospitality.

Our backbone, our strength, our pride and joy - celebrating our Glenburn ladies - today and everyday!

Our Glenburn Estate Foundation has sponsored the education of many of our estate children over the past 18 years and in 2023 we had 55 children in full time private education ranging from Grade 4 right up to the final year of University!

Every Christmas, our students get together for a little tea party at the Glenburn Hotel, where they write letters to their sponsors, and enjoy some hot chocolate, cake and biscuits from our bakery. Here is a little reel we made so that you can enjoy these lovely smiles and sweet faces - as well as some fun and festive artwork!

Our Scholarship Programme currently has 7 children in University studying courses ranging from Mass Communications, Hotel Management, Commerce & Business Management and Cybersecurity. All of them started with us when they were in Kindergarten, and we are so proud of where they are today.

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated over the years to support these incredible kids.

For any Christmas donations or further information about our Charity, please email us at [email protected]

Welcome baby Sita to the Glenburn family! Our Glenburn cow Pangri just gave birth to a baby calf!

One of our resolutions for 2024 is to source and grow as much as we can within the estate - our Glenburn hens are thriving and soon we will have fresh local milk from Andrew’s recently acquired dairy cows. He has also worked tirelessly with our gardening team to grow batches of ginger, garlic, potatoes and a host of other seasonal vegetables that have been enjoyed by all our guests as part of our menus.

DJ1 is the first official invoice of tea that we pack for the new season! This one is marked as grade FTGFOP1-CL-SPL which could be cheekily be referred to as Far Too Good For Ordinary People - but jokes aside this excellent tea is technically referred to as Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe - with an extra CL as it’s from our prized AV2 Clonal bushes and an extra SPL because it’s just ……Special!
