What this place is
Westend Hotel Matheran is located on R.C. Church Road in Matheran, near the police station, about 500 m from Charlotte Lake. This hotel has six different types of category from a compact deluxe for two up to a heritage family room that sleeps six, plus tented cottages beside the pool.
Westend Hotel Matheran has an outdoor swimming pool on their property, a poolside restaurant that serves both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, Eternia Spa, a conference room, a children's play house, and enough open ground for a campfire.
We are not the largest hotel in Matheran and we do not try to be a resort. What we are is close to the lake, quiet, and staffed by people who answer the phone themselves.
Our story
How Westend came to be here
This section is waiting on the hotel
An "about" page with an invented history is worse than no history at all — guests notice, and it costs the whole site its credibility. So this space is deliberately empty until the real story is available.
Ask the hotel for:
- When the property started, and in which year
- Who runs it — is it family-run, and across how many generations?
- Whether the building has any heritage connection, and what it was before
- The story the team already tells guests at the front desk — that one is usually the best one

How we work
A car-free hill changes how a hotel runs
Most of what looks like unusual policy here is really just logistics.
JJain food, a child's diet, an allergy, a cake, a spa slot. Every ingredient in our kitchen was carried up the hill by horse or hand-cart. A day's notice is almost always enough; an hour's often is not.
Vehicles are stopped three kilometres before the hotel in Matheran. There are porters at the parking area. This is the single most useful thing we do for first-time visitors, and it only can be possible if we know your arrival time.
If your offsite needs stable video calls, if you are booking the monsoon for poolside dinners, if six of you will struggle with one bathroom — we say so before you pay rather than after you arrive.
The whatsapp number on the website is directly connected to hotel reception. That is also how you can tell it is really us — copycat sites list numbers that do not.
Where we are, and why it matters
In a town with cars, a hotel's address is a detail. In Matheran, location is the most important thing that affects your experience. Because everywhere you want to go you have to walk twice, on uneven laterite paths, possibly in the rain.
From R.C. Church Road, Charlotte Lake is above 500 m away and Echo Point under a kilometre. That is the difference between wandering down to the lake after dinner because you feel like it, and deciding at breakfast that you will do it tomorrow instead. that's the reason that makes us the best hotels in Matheran.

Questions
About us
The Westend Hotel in Matheran is on R.C. Church Road, next to the Matheran Police Station. Charlotte Lake is about 500 m away and Echo Point under a kilometre, which in a town with no vehicles is the difference between walking to the viewpoints and planning an expedition to them.
A mid-sized property with six room categories, an outdoor swimming pool, a poolside restaurant serving veg and non-veg, a spa and a conference room. It suits families, couples and corporate groups rather than being built around any one of them.
Bookings, requests and complaints all reach the same front desk rather than a call centre, and that is deliberate. If you message the WhatsApp number on this site, you are talking to the property.
