HOTEL DETAILS
CHEVRON ROSEMOUNT
City: Ranikhet
Chevron Rosemount is housed in a 110 year old bungalow. Built in traditional Kumaoni
style, it undulates to many levels, has stone walls, the floors are wood and the
ceilings very high. Much of the old furniture and accessories have been retained,
consequently, the hotel has thick, dark wood furniture, coarse golden electric switches
and tall windows with skylights. The walls of the reception are all wood paneled
and large mirrors are put up on the walls. A magazine rack stands in one of the
corners. The bungalow roosts on the edge of a hill, a large garden surrounding it,
and dropping down to unending valleys. During winters, the brilliant vista of snow
peaks Ranikhet is so famous for stare at the guests, stretching in a 180 degrees
arc, covering 300 kms. Chevron Rosemount is charming indeed!
Rooms
The 14 rooms are divided into the categories of Deluxe rooms, Pine View Deluxe rooms,
Nirvana Suite and Independent Cottage Suite. The Pine View Deluxe rooms have a charming
window seat overlooking the vista of the snow peaks. The rooms are incredibly large
and sport the century old furniture. There is a quaint mantle over the fireplace
and an antiquated writing table adorns a corner. Rugs are spread over the creaking
wooden floor and an old-world dressing table adds to the charm of the room. Amenities

Cottages comprise a living room and a bedroom with similar amenities.
