Hotel Highlands Park Gulmarg Review
Established in 1966, the Hotel Highlands Park oozes old world tradition and feels like a throwback to the colonial days. It is one of the best places to stay in
Gulmarg, but that does come at a cost.
Where is the Hotel Highlands Park?
Hotel Highlands Park is located in Gulmarg, 10 minutes walk from the gondola base.
Hotel Rooms
The 30 plus rooms are detached from the main lounge/bar/restaurant building. Each room has an ensuite, and, unusually for a Gulmarg hotel, the hot water works all the time.
All rooms are tastefully decorated, have TVs and telephones, and are large enough to include either a couch or armchairs and have the feel of a suite.
Rooms are heated by Bukharis, wood stoves that are maintained by the very professional hotel staff.
Hotel Facilities
The Hotel Highlands Park features the best bar and restaurant in Gulmarg. The bar is fascinating and includes an array of relics from the ‘glorious’ past British rule. The bar area also has huge windows with perfect views of the Pir Panjal Mountain.
Other facilities include:
- Lounge area
- Disco
- Table tennis
- Internet (limited)
- Currency exchange
- Even a barber service!!
- A number of great shops are on site as well – Ladakh Art Palace and Faiz Shawls
Dining
The restaurant at the Highlands Park is top notch. Food is also available in the bar and via room service. As with most Gulmarg hotels, breakfasts and dinners can be included in your tariff. Eating and drinking at the Highlands Park is an absolute pleasure, highlighted by the fact that many people forgo eating at their own hotel restaurant to experience the best Gulmarg has to offer at the Highlands Park.
Why Stay at the Hotel Highlands Park Gulmarg?
Old world charm, well appointed rooms, great staff, awesome bar, top food and facilities.
