The hotel is beautiful and the staff are excellent. It is an absolutely lovely place to stay in Shimla. The main atrium is set up as a relaxing place to sit with the bar at one end, proving a stunning view of the inside of the hotel. The staff were extremely helpful, taking care of all our requests and arranging additional transport when our train was cancelled.
