We stayed three nights through the Easter weekend at the Palace in Chail. The ‘Palace’ is a largish mansion modeled on Georgian manor houses complete with trademark chimneys and a sizeable courtyard. There are cottages, log huts and rooms in the main building; we stayed in the last one. Rooms seem quite diverse so do look at a few before... More

Booked the Maharani Suite online for the Good friday extended weekend. The drive to Chail was extremely enchanting & very picturesque. Enjoyed it thoroughly & felt refreshed upon reaching the Hotel. Exterior: The Palace is an extremely wooded property & the drive way leading to the palace is extremely charming & pretty. The Palace building though is a bit of... More

I have stayed in this hotel twice (as my first trip was very short and I had to come back). The second stay was longer. I had to book the room in advance as there are no 'on spot' booking with the Palace. The rooms are very good and well spaced. There are log huts, cottages and double rooms available.... More

Hotel Chail Palace is a HPTDC heritage property. The Chail Palace is converted into a hotel. Located near Shimla but away from the hustle-bustle of Shimla. Beautiful place with varying options to stay - from independent self-contained chalets to standard hotel rooms made more luxurious. Limited food options. Has huge estate to go walking, nicely landscaped and well maintained garden.... More

I was at the Chail palace for lunch in June of 2011, the palace is fine but it doesn't have much to boast about in the decoritives from it's era. There is an old piano(toursits are always monkeying with it) in the lobby and a few priceless paintings, most of the furniture is made of cane and is probabally authentic.... More
