Sterling Holiday Resorts has expanded its footprint in North-East India with the launch of Sterling Mount Olive Gangtok, a contemporary city hotel located in the heart of Gangtok. The new property marks Sterling’s second hotel in Sikkim and its fourth across the North-East region.
Situated in Development Area, Gangtok’s key business and administrative hub, the hotel is designed to cater to business travellers, professionals on short stays, and leisure visitors seeking proximity to the city’s commercial and cultural centres. Guests will have easy access to government offices, business districts and the popular MG Marg promenade. The hotel also complements Sterling’s existing leisure resort, Sterling Gangtok Orange Village, located outside the city. As travel to the Eastern Himalayas increasingly blends work, short city breaks and onward leisure trips to destinations such as Darjeeling and Kalimpong, the new hotel adds an urban dimension to Sterling’s regional portfolio.
In Gangtok, hospitality stakeholders note growing demand for centrally located, business-friendly hotels as footfall rises across MG Marg and surrounding commercial zones. Improved connectivity and steady tourist inflow are boosting retail activity, dining outlets and service sectors, making city-based accommodation a key driver of local economic momentum. The hotel features rooms with private balconies, an all-day restaurant offering regional specialities, and convenient access to major attractions. It is well connected via Bagdogra Airport and NJP railway station, strengthening Gangtok’s appeal as a year-round destination.
