King & Twin Rooms at Hyatt Regency Dharamshala Resort

Immediate next category of rooms come with an external balcony. We stayed in this category of rooms in 4th floor. Balcony is vary spacious even after providing two chairs.

Family with kids can opt for next category of rooms- these are rooms with private garden. Just outside, instead of balcony, there's a small green area suitable for kids to play. These rooms are located on the third floor of the main building and the garden extends over the reception area. Good option to keep an eye on the kids from the room while they play outside.

Regency Suites:
On the fifth floor, Hyatt Regency Dharamshala Resort has a few suites which are almost twice as spacious as a standard room. Regency Suites come with a living area, bath tub and other additional facilities over standard rooms.

2 BR Residence Villas
If you would like some privacy and luxury, you can opt for Residence Villas. A residence villa is an independent building spread over 2 floors- ground floor gets a hall and kitchen, first floor has a master bedroom and second floor gets another bedroom. There is a small additional space where your maid or driver can also sleep. You don't have to share the building with other guests-complete privacy and control. You can cook your own food using the kitchen facilities provided or avail services of a private butler. Villa guests will have a quicker entry and exit into the resort compared to regular guests.

As of now about three 2BR Residence villas are operational at Hyatt Regency Dharamshala. A few more residence villas are under construction and will be available shortly.

5 BR Shanti Villa
Shanti Villa is Hyatt Regency Dharamshala's most luxurious offering. It has a total of 5 bed rooms spread across 3 floors, totaling 390 square meters (13 times the standard rooms). Plus a spacious living room, dining room with massive chandelier and art work, kitchen, space for support staff, a private balcony and so on. Costing around 1.5 lakhs a night, Shanti Villa can accommodate up to 10-12 people, so not a huge expense if you calculate on per person basis. A private butler will be available at your service. Climbing up two floors could be a task but you can plan such that seniors stay in lower floors and younger people stay in upper floors.

A private pool or Jacuzzi would have been great for the 5 BR villa, but that is just my wish list. Book your rooms on Hyatt Regency's official website or on booking.com
