Sterling Holiday Resorts has strengthened its presence in North-East India with the launch of Sterling Mount Olive Gangtok, a contemporary city hotel located in the heart of Gangtok. The new opening marks Sterling’s second property in Sikkim and its fourth in the North-East, reinforcing the brand’s growing regional portfolio.

Designed for travellers seeking connectivity and central access, Sterling Mount Olive Gangtok caters to business travellers, professionals on short stays, and leisure guests who prefer to stay close to the city’s commercial and cultural hubs. The property complements Sterling’s existing leisure resort in the destination, Sterling Gangtok Orange Village, which is located in a quieter setting outside the city.

Situated in Development Area, Gangtok’s business and administrative district, the hotel occupies an elevated location offering views of the city skyline. Its proximity to government offices, business centres, and the popular MG Marg shopping promenade makes it a convenient base for work trips as well as short urban getaways.

As travel to the Eastern Himalayas increasingly blends business, leisure, and onward journeys to destinations such as Darjeeling and Kalimpong, the hotel adds an urban dimension to Sterling’s regional presence. It is positioned for travellers looking to maximise their time in Gangtok for meetings, sightseeing, shopping, or brief exploratory stays.

Commenting on the launch, 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.”

The hotel features well-appointed rooms with private balconies and warm, contemporary interiors, suited for short business trips, extended stays, and small families.

Dining is led by Latitude 27, the hotel’s all-day restaurant inspired by the Himalayan latitude running through the region. The menu blends global comfort food with regional specialities such as Masyang ko Dal, Baans ko Tusa, and Thentuk, emphasising seasonal ingredients and relaxed dining.

The property also offers convenient access to attractions including Tashi View Point, Do Drul Chorten, and Banjhakri Falls, with longer excursions to Tsomgo Lake and Baba Mandir easily planned as day trips. Well connected via Bagdogra Airport and New Jalpaiguri railway station, the hotel ensures smooth access for travellers.

With this launch, Sterling continues to expand its portfolio of experience-led properties, offering guests a choice between serene resort destinations and centrally located city hotels while strengthening its footprint across Sikkim and the wider North-East region.
