The hotel had a few highlights like a fantastic location within a brisk walk to Shimla's heart and being close to town with scenic views, but it was a bit far from the mall road. The rooms were well laid out with appreciated balcony views; however, they weren't ready upon our arrival despite requesting an early check-in. The service was top-notch, particularly in the bar and restaurant, with staff going that extra mile to make our stay memorable, yet a tad overshadowed by larger tour groups at times. The dining experience was elevated by the fantastic team, though the spread was not extensive. Overall, a lovely spot with a few minor quirks to consider.

I had an incredible stay at this hotel! The rooms were so well-equipped, stylish, and comfortable, with a large bedroom and a small dressing room. The bathroom was the best I've ever had in any hotel, and the magnificent balcony overlooking the valley and the Himalayas beyond was breathtaking. The customer service was truly at its best, making my experience even more special.
