The Wildflower Hall, Shimla

The previous residence of Lord Kitchener, Wildflower Hall stands as one of the most breathtaking colonial hill stations in India, perched with a view of the majestic Himalayas just outside Shimla. Wildflower Hall features opulent rooms and suites, a lounge, a library, and a bridge room that radiate historical elegance, offering stunning vistas of the adjacent pine forest and beyond. 

The most remarkable view may be experienced from the outdoor whirlpool at the spa, which becomes even more enchanting with winter snow, while the indoor swimming pool adorned with chandeliers provides a splendid ambiance. The restaurant, located in a delightful glass conservatory with an outdoor terrace, offers a diverse menu of pan-Indian, Asian, and Continental dishes, while the wood-paneled Cavalry Bar evokes the nostalgia of the Raj era. 

Enjoy your stay at this mountain retreat by blending adventure with relaxation; engage in mountain biking, rafting, and hiking in the nearby mountains, delve into Shimla's rich heritage, or wander along nature trails on the property, meditate, or participate in yoga sessions.
