The Belvedere Himalayan Retreat

About The Belvedere Himalayan Retreat

The Belvedere is part of the Leisure Hotels group and occupies a handy spot in McLeod Ganj, roughly 100 metres from Mall Road and about 200 metres from the Dalai Lama temple complex. That puts the main monastery, the Tibetan market and the town's cafes within a few minutes on foot, while the hotel itself feels a little removed from the bustle.

There are several room categories, and it is worth paying attention to the details: the entry-level rooms have no view, while the superior rooms and suites come with balconies facing the Dhauladhar range. A multi-cuisine restaurant mixes international dishes with Himachali specialities, and there is a bar for the evenings. It is a sensible choice for couples and families who want hotel comforts and a central address, and it can also handle small events and meetings.
