When a guest chooses a destination like Sikkim or the Eastern Himalayas, the experience is defined not only by the mountains, monasteries and valleys but by where they return every evening.
Among all luxury hospitality brands operating in Eastern India, Mayfair Hotels & Resorts holds a very distinctive place. It is one of the few Indian luxury hotel groups that combines heritage architecture, landscaped estates, and destination-based hospitality. A stay here is not simply accommodation; it becomes part of the journey itself.
Royal Brothers Destination Management Company carefully recommends Mayfair properties to travellers who prefer comfort, privacy, safety and reliability along with a culturally rich stay experience.
Most hotels in hill stations are either:
• small boutique lodges
• modern business hotels
• or standard tourist accommodations
Mayfair belongs to a different category – Destination Resorts.
These properties are built like estates rather than buildings. They typically include:
• Large landscaped gardens and courtyards
• Monastery-style or heritage architecture
• Multiple dining venues
• Spa & wellness centres
• Activity areas for families and children
• Valley or forest facing rooms
• In-house cultural ambience
This is the reason Mayfair is often preferred by:
honeymoon couples
senior travellers
premium family travellers
NRI and foreign guests
guests visiting Sikkim for relaxation rather than only sightseeing

Royal Brothers does not randomly list hotels. We recommend based on operational reliability.
Mayfair properties are preferred because:
Consistent service standards
Reliable check-in policies (important in hill stations)
Proper heating arrangements (critical in Sikkim winters)
Hygiene and safety standards
Professional kitchen and dining operations
Strong management support for travel agents and tour operators
Standard Timing:
• Check-in: 2:00 PM
• Check-out: 12:00 Noon
Early check-in and late check-out:
Subject strictly to availability and hotel occupancy.
In Sikkim this is very important because guests often arrive early morning from NJP/Bagdogra. Rooms may not be immediately available.
Royal Brothers always tries to coordinate early room readiness, but it cannot be guaranteed by any hotel.
All guests must carry:
• Original Government ID (Aadhar / Passport / Voter ID / Driving License)
For Foreign Nationals:
Passport and Visa copy mandatory.
Without valid ID, hotel legally cannot allow check-in.
Generally:
• Below 5 years – Complimentary stay without extra bed
• 6 to 11 years – Child charges applicable
• 12 years and above – Considered adult
Exact policy may vary by property and season.
In winter (Nov–March):
Room heating in hill stations is not centralized like metro cities.
Mayfair usually provides:
• Room heaters or centralized temperature control depending on category
However, excessive heating demand during peak winter nights may have limited availability.
Guests may book:
• CP – Room + Breakfast
• MAP – Room + Breakfast + Dinner
• AP – All Meals Included
Important Advice:
In Gangtok and hill stations, MAP Plan is highly recommended because:
Night travel to restaurants becomes difficult in cold and steep terrain.
• Carry warm clothing throughout the year (Sikkim weather changes quickly)
• Keep buffer time for sightseeing departures
• Inform reception if checking out early morning
• Do not rely on walking distance to markets (Gangtok terrain is steep)
• Do not plan late night arrival without informing hotel
• Do not assume early check-in is guaranteed
• Avoid loud music inside rooms after 10 PM (hotel quiet hours policy)
