Accommodation(Corbett Hideaway) :
The burnt red of the cottages forms a restful backdrop to verdant environs. Sloping tiled roofs, cool stone floors with throw rugs, block wood furniture and other details allow maximum comfort while continuing the illusion of being in the wilds. The accent is clearly on nature. The 40 guest rooms have a clever area separation, for sleeping and for living, as in a suite. You get a sense of miles of extra space.
Corbett Hideaway resortDouble roomed suites are available for groups and families. All the rooms are air conditioned with hot water in baths, and a refrigerator fulll of cooling drinks.
Outdoors :
Apart from a hundred and seventy six mango trees, you can |

see at the Hideaway a bountiful jackfruit tree near the reception, variegated bamboo including sacaram, bushes of hibiscus, rainflower, gandharaja, ticoma, raat ki rani and haemilia, azalea aplenty, and guava trees which yield fruit three times a year!
The grounds are meant for meandering, loitering, meditating and playing...
A tennis court on the sprawling lawns gives way to the swimming pool with its languid blue waters, very therapeutic after a rigorous safari.
The poolside bar lets you beer as you float.
Even greater relaxation techniques are available close by - massage therapy by trained masseurs.
By the time you've worked up a wild appetite, your sense of smell will lead you to the Gol Ghar, the thatched outdoor restaurant which lays out magnificent breakfasts, lunches and dinners. (The nights are generally wilder, with bonfires, entertainment and bonhomie.)
Indoors :
The 20 feet high Gurney House named after the house Jim Corbett lived in for many years, gives you the civilised world.
Billiards, where potting the red might come easier than capturing a tiger with a lens.
Listening raptly to the slide show of the Corbett Hideaway Chief Naturalist in the meeting hall.
References about tigers, elephants and birds are available right down the path at the library, a free and easy place where you can sip a cuppa and browse.
The Nature Shop :
Charming souvenirs and memorabilia are for the picking at The Nature Shop which also stocks herbal cosmetics and
fascinating local crafts.
Cuisine :
The resort serves excellent continental food and Indian cuisine. And a great variety of it all! The specialities of the Kumaoni region are a favourite feature on the menu. The emphasis is on freshness of produce.(Remember to ask for minestrone soup, which is a wee bit spicy but lipsmacking. And the chicken kakori kababs that give your palate exciting information on gourmet cooking!)
Confrences :
Conferences and seminars get transformed into extraordinary experiences at the Corbett Hideaway.
You can move from the crisp and efficient environment of the air conditioned conference hall onto grassy lawns, riverside banks, restaurant deck, swimming pool which become informal venues for forming close associations of understanding!
The conference hall can accommodate 125 people in class formation 150 in auditorium formation and 25 in an intimate U-shape boardroom formation.
The hotel equipment supports overhead projection, LCD video projection, slide projection. You can depend on high quality PA systems and music systems for the right sound at presentations.
Professional intimacy and bonding is inevitable in the happy environment of the Corbett Hideaway. Outdoor management conferences help in team building activities through organised sports like trekking, safaris, and white water rafting. All outdoor activites are arranged in totality by the Corbett Hideaway.
The natural preference for outdoor excursions is the highly recommended jungle safari in the Corbett Hideaway Canter bus, with stopover of a day or more in the park.
