This hotel is the best place to stay to experience Shimla. The views and direct walking access to the forest make it a must. Make sure you allow time time relax and enjoy the resort itself. Shimla was the summer capital for the Britishers for a reason. The common areas, pool, spa, outdoor jacuzzi, dinning and forest are at your finger tips. You need to sample them all and you cannot do that in one day. Don't over schedule your stay with outside tours (book the hotel car and guide for the day out). At a minimum, I would suggest 4 nights. Allow 1 day of touring Shimla and 2 days in the resort. Getting to and from Shimla takes time but well worth it. Book a mountain view room or suite, it is worth it to see the sunrise over the Himalayas each morning. There is a free small guided walk in the morning or afternoon in the forest. I really enjoyed being in the forest. Did this walk multiple times. The staff are all amazing. Some examples, we were looking at the mountains at breakfast and the waiter went and without prompting gave us a set of binoculars. One night we thought we would like to have dinner outside but it was a little chilly. The staff said no problem and started a brazier and gave us blankets. We were the only ones dinning outside on the terrace but the staff are so accommodating and helpful. The general manager is excellent. We had meet Sunit on an Oberio Lombok family holiday and were so impressed that we booked the Oberio Exotic Vacations to explore India. So we were not surprised that this Hotel had excellent service and hospitality. Thank you Sunit and your team for an amazing holiday. Lastly the food was next level good. Thank you to the chef!
