Redefining Modern Luxury Through Bespoke Hospitality

Excel Hotels & Resorts began with a simple conviction: that luxury in the Himalayan foothills should feel less like a hotel and more like a house that has always known you. Classic grandeur — high ceilings, deep verandahs, long tables laid for family — meets the quiet comforts of contemporary living.

Our properties sit where the landscape is at its most generous: on the banks of the Kosi, at the edge of sal forest, above the still water of Naini and Bhimtal. Each one is designed as a sanctuary of tranquility, where mornings arrive with birdsong and evenings close around a fire.

From an intimate riverside supper to a five-hundred-guest celebration on the lawns, everything we do is made to measure — considered, unhurried and entirely yours.
