Firstly, ranikhet is like heaven on earth. The downside is a back breaking 8 hour drive from Delhi but once you reach the hill station, it is like a picture post card. Pleasant breeze, lots of trees, nice quite walks, a small market and lots of fresh air make the drive worthwhile.
West Vies is a beaitful hotel and made our stay very pleasant. The locale is breathtaking overlooking a pine tree dotted valley. You can take a small walk to a clearing with railing overlooking the valley beyond. The hotel itself is very nicely maintained and has a nice old world charm. If available it would be better to book the room below than the rooms on the first floor which are a little dingy. The staff is very courteous and helpful.
The food at the hotel is awesome. My parent and I fell in love with the food and would insist on being back at the hotel at meal time. We enjoyed only the vegetarian fare and would highly recommend the same.
Room Tip: Rooms on the ground floor are better since they are brighter.
