Shillong Hotels

No visit to the North East can be complete without letting Shillong enthrall you. Fondly referred to as "Scotland of the East" by the British, the picturesque hill station is a veritable feast for the senses. Murmuring valleys, whispering waterfalls and the rapturous chirp of birds- just some of the many sounds that make honking cars and city noise a distant thought. Speaking of which, let your thoughts transcend barriers imposed by the rigours of daily life as Shillong envelopes you her welcome arms.

A serpentine road lined with pine trees, bamboo groves and cherry blossoms leads up to the Royal Heritage - Tripura Castle, summer retreat of the Maharajas of the Manikya dynasty of Tripura. The first "heritage" hotel in the north-east, it was opened in 2003 in the Castle's Annexe. The horse-shoe shaped gate, symbolic of good luck and a royal tradition for entrances to residences invites you in.

An air of regal elegance coupled with an old world charm reflects the ambience of the Hotel. The warm tones of wood, cane and brass are the architectural refrain.The blend of European and Oriental influences that is the hallmark of the Castle, has been subtly worked into the Hotel.

At The Rice Court the standard menu is Chinese with a wide choice of vegetarian and non-vegetarian fare. But if you are a guest, a special treat awaits you – authentic Khasi cuisine – 'jadoh' (a rice dish), 'dohkhlieh' (a spicy pork salad), 'tungtap' (dried fish chutney) among other exotic preparations. The dйcor includes interesting lithographs, some dating back to 1857, and an 18th century Chinese bed.

In remodelling the Annexe and guest rooms, local materials have been used to great advantage. Pinus Khasiana, indigenous to Meghalaya, for the woodwork is complemented by the paving in the courtyard, white Cherra Stone from nearby Cherrapunji (once known to have the highest rainfall in the world).

10 spacious and tastefully appointed Guest Rooms retains its old world 'heritage' character – carefully selected pieces of furniture from the Castle, a gleaming brass fire-place, coupled with all the modern amenities – attached bath with running hot and cold water, cable TV and video. On clear, crispy winter mornings, the view of snow-capped peaks is spectacular, while after dark, the lights of Shillong make for a pretty backdrop. The Maharaja Suite strikes a special chord. The ornately carved mahogany bed is the very same one used by India's first Noble Laureate, Rabindranath Tagore – who shared a long and close association with four generations of the Manikya dynasty.

In 1935, Raibahadur Kanaklal Barua, a prominent citizen of Assam who served as a member of the Viceroy's Executive Council, built a lodge in the popular neo-colonial style of the times. The architect was his son, Tapan Lal Barua, but it was after his daughter - Rosa - that the Rosaville lodge was named.

The lodge remains within the family and retains all the flavour of a family home but Rosa now lives in Mumbai and the doors of the lodge were opened to visitors.

Rosaville Lodge was a home, but a prestigious home of an illustrious man.
