Hotels Own Introduction
a legacy in the clouds
Shimla, with its temperate summers and crisp mountain air, became the summer capital of British India in 1863. While snow often graces its winters, it’s the refreshing climate and forested hills that have long drawn visitors for trekking, mountain biking, and heritage walks.
a grand home in the himalayas
Once the residence of Lord Kitchener, commander-in-chief of the British army, Wildflower Hall is now a five-star resort that channels the charm of a stately colonial retreat. Set high in the Himalayan ranges, it features richly appointed rooms, a warm and elegant lounge, a classic billiards room, and a library filled with quiet corners and captivating reads.
immersed in nature’s romance
Whether dining in the glass conservatory, under the stars on the mountain-view terrace, or enjoying an open-air spa ritual deep in the forest, Wildflower Hall offers rare moments of stillness and connection with nature. Every experience is delivered with thoughtful, personal care—hallmarks of the finest resort in Shimla.
adventure and elegance at altitude
Just a short drive from the hotel lies Naldehra, a hill station beloved by Viceroy Lord Curzon, who named his daughter after it and designed India’s first 9-hole golf course there. Set at 2,195 meters, today it ranks among the country’s most scenic and challenging. Trekkers, too, are drawn to nearby Shali Peak, whose steep 8-kilometre trail rewards with panoramic views at the summit.
