Sterling Holiday Resorts Expands in Sikkim with Launch of Sterling Mount Olive Gangtok

Sterling Holiday Resorts has unveiled Sterling Mount Olive Gangtok, a contemporary city hotel located in the heart of Gangtok. Designed for travellers who prioritise ease of access, connectivity, and proximity to the city’s commercial and cultural pulse, the new property offers a refined and efficient stay experience set against the backdrop of the Eastern Himalayas.

Strengthening Sterling’s Presence in Gangtok

The launch of Sterling Mount Olive Gangtok marks the brand’s second property in the city, further strengthening its footprint in Sikkim. It complements Sterling Gangtok Orange Village, the brand’s existing leisure resort located amid tranquil surroundings outside the city centre.

Together, the two properties allow Sterling to cater to both leisure-focused travellers seeking serene hill retreats and urban explorers looking for centrally located accommodations.

Prime Central Location with Elevated City Views

Situated in Development Area, Gangtok’s key business and administrative hub, Sterling Mount Olive Gangtok enjoys an elevated setting that offers sweeping views of the city skyline from its rooms and balconies.

Its strategic location places guests within walking distance of:

• Government offices and business centres
• MG Marg, Gangtok’s vibrant shopping and cultural promenade

This makes the hotel an ideal choice for business travellers, professionals on short stays, and leisure travellers who prefer to stay close to the city’s action.

Designed for the Modern, Multi-Dimensional Traveller

As travel to the Eastern Himalayas becomes increasingly multi-dimensional, with visitors combining work trips, short city breaks, and onward leisure journeys to destinations such as Darjeeling and Kalimpong, Sterling Mount Olive Gangtok introduces a distinctly urban dimension to the brand’s regional portfolio.

The hotel serves as a convenient base for travellers looking to maximise their time in Gangtok—whether for meetings, sightseeing, shopping, or brief exploratory visits.

Leadership Perspective on the Launch

Commenting on the opening, Vikram Lalvani, Managing Director & CEO, Sterling Holiday Resorts, said: “The launch of Sterling Mount Olive Gangtok strengthens our presence in the North East with a hotel that is purposefully designed around location and accessibility. Gangtok attracts both business and leisure travellers throughout the year, and this property addresses the need for a centrally located, high-quality stay that allows guests to engage closely with the city while enjoying Sterling’s signature comfort and service.”

Warm Contemporary Interiors for Flexible Stays

Sterling Mount Olive Gangtok features thoughtfully designed rooms with private balconies, offering calming views of the hills or the city. The interiors follow a warm, contemporary design language with soft lighting and functional layouts.

The hotel is well suited for:

• Short business trips
• Extended stays
• Small families seeking a convenient urban base

Latitude 27: Dining Inspired by the Himalayas

Dining at the hotel is led by Latitude 27, an all-day restaurant inspired by the Himalayan latitude that runs through the region. The restaurant presents a blend of global comfort cuisine and regional specialities, including:

• Masyang ko Dal
• Baans ko Tusa
• Thentuk

With a focus on seasonal ingredients and relaxed, unhurried dining, Latitude 27 also serves as a natural social hub for both resident guests and local visitors.

Gateway to Gangtok’s Cultural and Natural Attractions

The hotel’s central location allows easy access to Gangtok’s key attractions, including:

• Tashi View Point
• Do Drul Chorten
• Banjhakri Falls

Longer excursions to Tsomgo Lake and Baba Mandir can also be conveniently planned as day trips, positioning Sterling Mount Olive Gangtok as a practical and well-connected base for exploring the city and its surroundings.
