6 Superior Hotels In Leh We Love

Leh receives a maximum inflow of travelers during the peak summers i.e. May, June, and July. Whereas, other hotels do not usually have a green area due to climate conditions, but you can enjoy the shade of the green trees and cold breeze during the scorching hot days in Leh at Eco Poplar. The property is surrounded by Poplar, Apricot and Apple trees. If the owner permits, one can even pluck the apricots from the trees as well. One can order beer and enjoy the cool breeze and enjoy a lazy afternoon. There are many varieties of plants and flowers and comfortable seating spaces across the property. There are 20 cottages in the entire resort, with comfortable and cozy rooms and an attached washroom with clean linen and toiletries. The staff and the owner are courteous and the food served has earned many good reviews.

You can also describe it as an oasis in the desert! If you are the kind of traveler who prefers living closer to nature, you must head to Eco Poplar. It is also ideal for families and couples looking for a peaceful abode.

A contemporary hotel with 24 opulent rooms, comfortable bed, and seating area. The decor of the property is modern so are their services. There is a 24-hour reception to cater to the guests and a manager to host you. The staff is always on toes to serve you. Wooden flooring, central heating, and a quiet location, it’s a pleasurable experience in all. 

The breakfast and dinner spread has a decent number of options, mainly catering to Indians. They make great Indian cuisine and sometimes even add a few Chinese or Italian options. There is a small lawn in front of the main building with flowers and a few trees in the vicinity. 

We suggest you choose rooms on the first floor to get a better view of the mountains. It has a plush feel and offers a holistic experience of staying in Leh in a premium property. The rooms are very spacious and can accommodate an extra bed very easily.

We recommend this property for families and people looking for an ideal hotel experience.

The first impression when you enter Ladakh Retreat is that of a serene setting. One can see the mountain peaks, the waving National flag, a green porch, and a beautifully crafted property. There is a huge garden area where one can just enjoy the view while they sip on mint tea. There is a patch of land with bamboo shoots which makes for a very photographic location and a big enough area in the property for a walk. It has the feel of a hotel to it too and we suggest you opt for the front-facing rooms to enjoy the best views, else, you might be disappointed. They have 18 contemporary styled rooms with an essence of Ladakh in them. One can enjoy the majestic view of snow-capped mountains from their private balcony/ verandah. The washrooms have toiletries and hot water available at all times. 

The breakfast and dinner spread has multiple options to choose from and one can even request the Manager for light meals, in case required. The Manager is accommodating and understanding. 

Please remember, only BSNL is operational in Leh in terms of broadband, at some hotels including Ladakh Retreat you need to come to the Lobby to access the Wifi. 

Overall, Ladakh Retreat is a good option for families as they have spacious rooms and good service.

An appropriate option for pure vegetarians backed by years of service, this property has a guesthouse and a hotel on the same premises. It is recommended to stay on the 2nd or 3rd floor to get the best views of the city. Located just below the Shanti Stupa, everything is a stone’s throw away. Unlike many hotels, Butler’s service is also available here. Though it is a property with many rooms now, it is a calm and peaceful abode. They have a warm common area where one feels at home and a library that is tucked away in a corner. One can read and enjoy a cup of coffee here. An organic farm with many vegetables and flowers adds color to the property. 

Needless to say, good staff is what makes accommodation memorable. Since it is a family-run place, you can feel the warmth and humility emanating from them. 

This is a highly recommended accommodation for people who are vegetarian.

Another great option for pure vegetarians coupled with the local vibe of Ladakh, Chantsa is a brand new 3-star hotel making it a great place to stay. The rooms are excellent, spacious and comfortable with decent furniture and extremely comfortable beds and pillows. Most importantly, they are insulated using local pine wood which keeps them warm. The rooms also offer fabulous views of the snow-capped mountains from large French windows. There is running hot water all day and bathrooms are decently stocked and spacious. The owners and the staff are super prompt and helpful. 

The food is also delightful and purely vegetarian.

As reviews say, people rate this place 5 star and staff 7 star!

Boasting of a natural spring on site, the Jade house may be relatively new but is situated on land with a lot of history. Comprising 7 bedrooms, 5 of which can be booked by guests, there are attached bathrooms in all with glass partitions and running hot water. The first floor has a big balcony with sun loungers and the owners plan on conducting open-air movie nights soon. They follow a farm to table approach and the food is always fresh. Situated just 400 meters from the center, in the most eco-friendly part of town, all attractions and restaurants are close by. 

Stay here for a boutique experience for a splendid vacation!
