Summit Hotels & Resorts launches resort in Lamahatta
Summit Enigma Resort & Spa
Strategically located just 22 kilometres from Darjeeling town and within easy reach of Tiger Hill and the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, Summit Enigma Resort & Spa offers16 elegant rooms, among other amenities.
Summit Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of Summit Enigma Resort & Spa in Lamahatta, a luxury mountain retreat set to redefine high-altitude hospitality. Strategically located just 22 kilometres from Darjeeling town and within easy reach of Tiger Hill and the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, the resort offers a rare combination of accessibility and tranquillity.
The property set near the Kanchenjunga range, features 16 elegant rooms designed to showcase nature’s grandeur, including intimate Premium Rooms and spacious Balcony Rooms.
The resort emphasises wellness and sustainability as cornerstones of its philosophy. The signature Metta Spa introduces therapies inspired by the region, complemented by steam and sauna facilities, and a Kanchenjunga-facing Jacuzzi that blends luxury with natural immersion. Dining at the in-house CloudSong Restaurant celebrates the bounty of the mountains with farm-to-table menus, locally sourced produce, and delicacies such as the much-talked-about Desi Kukkad Curry.
Guests can walk to nearby farms, experience sustainable mountain agriculture, and interact with local communities where traditions continue in harmony with nature. Wildlife, too, plays a role in the experience, with deer sightings on the property.
The resort’s strategic location enhances its appeal. While Darjeeling offers the bustle of a celebrated hill station, Lamahatta provides a peaceful alternative, close enough to access iconic attractions yet far removed from the challenges of overtourism.
“Enigma is more than just a property launch; it is Summit’s boldest interpretation of mountain hospitality to date. We have created a retreat where every moment, every view, and every detail reflects the mystery and beauty of the Himalayas,” Sumit Mitruka, CEO and founder, said.
With this launch, Summit Hotels & Resorts strengthens its position as a serious player in India’s premium hospitality landscape.
Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Siliguri, West Bengal, Summit Hotels & Resorts is East India’s leading hospitality chain and India’s largest leased hotel operator. With over 30 hotels and resorts across 17+ destinations, Summit has built a strong presence in the region’s hill stations and leisure markets. It is now expanding into high-potential temple towns as well as lesser-known hill towns.
