ABOUT US
Alpine Rhapsody is a family-run boutique hotel in Ranikhet, Uttarakhand. In the heart of an idyllic Kumaoni village, it rests in splendid seclusion, bordered by ageing cedars and visited by coy cats and whistling magpies.
Set up in 2020, the hotel is an ode to a life where luxury breathes easy amidst nature. Each stone—dug from the earth and passed from hand to hand—speaks of camaraderie. The wood-panelled doors resonate with the rugged life of the Himalayas. The peeping fireplaces inspire warmth and vacation. A handcrafted map of Ranikhet decorates the façade. It calls for you to explore more, to discover territory yet unknown. Homemade paintings colour the walls in happiness. We believe in hiring locally, so that even service is touched by homegrown tradition.
The goal here is to create a home away from home for you, with values of community living accentuated by luxurious retreat.
Built With Love
Every stone in this building was placed with intention — many of them by the family’s own hands. Designed in the tradition of local Kumaoni architecture, the property rises in natural stone and warm wood, built to belong to this landscape rather than sit on top of it. Large windows were built in to marry the Himalayas with the comfort of indoor living.
Designed to Convene
Our common terrace, Wuthering Heights, is our personal sunset point. Imagine your lover’s face glowing in the amber light as you pop the question against the rolling hills. Or your friends from high school rekindling the spirit against a cracking bonfire.
Now add a conference room to the mix. Here, life-size windows and free WiFi deliver your much-awaited workation in Uttarakhand. On the lower floors, a lawn adds depth to our dimensions.
Filled With Memories
A trip feels complete only when you get to take a piece of it home. Find a little something here to transport you back to the Himalayas, even after you leave. Shop for organic tea blends, hand poured candles, natural oils, handmade woollens and more at our in-house souvenir shop.
Flavours That Stay
A trip to the mountains is never complete without lip-smacking food. Wood-fired pizzas reign over The Coffee Cellar, our in-house bistro and pizzeria. A hand tossed base is covered in pilati sauce and mozzarella. Your favourite toppings make their way in. An espresso bar delivers your favourite fresh coffees in minutes. And for those who love to eat local, TCC offers a variety of Kumaoni dishes.
Boundaries melt here, as tourists and locals mingle over freshly brewed coffee and berry cakes.
