Keepsa Residency

Gangtok


If you're looking for international-style luxury with quality service and elements of local atmosphere, Keepsa is a great choice – raised above the centre with fine views, carved wooden furniture, green-marble surfaces and lift access to most floors. Walk-in rates can offer 50% discounts.

The lobby has a certain 1940s retro feel with lots of photos of the former Sikkimese royals.
