Wildflower Hall, An Oberoi Resort
Stately luxury at 2,515 metres above sea level.
As the former home of Lord Kitchener, who was once commander-in-chief of the British army, Wildflower Hall has a majestic ambience that pleases the discerning traveller. Luxuriate in this gorgeous hotel, which has rooms and suites offering garden, mountain, or valley views along with teakwood flooring and luxe baths. A nature lover’s haven, it is the perfect abode for families and couples who want to enjoy their time away from the humdrum of city life. Relish quasi al fresco experiences and winter bonfires with multi-cuisine fare at The Restaurant, and enjoy single malts and a variety of inspired drinks at The Cavalry Bar. The Lutyens Room is apt for private parties of up to 20 people. The hotel offers signature experiences like dinners at its private cedar-lined gazebo, a colonial heritage tour of Shimla, mountain biking, and picnics at a British-era bungalow called The Peak. After sightseeing and trekking in the hills of Shimla, taking dips in the property’s indoor temperature-controlled pool and al fresco infinity whirlpool is the perfect way to call it a day.
