Heritage Hotels in Shimla, a Symbol of a Bygone Era

by Amala P. Consultant

Shimla, once the summer capital of the British Raj, still retains its charm, reminiscent of a bygone era. If you are looking at hotels in Shimla India, you will be pleasantly surprised to see a heritage hotel that dates back to 1898.

A heritage hotel is the appropriate place to stay if you are visiting the city of colonial architecture, i.e, Shimla. When you stay in one of the oldest hotels in the city built in 1898 and given the ‘heritage’ tag, you can’t help but notice the wonderful architecture and decor. One of the main features of the hotel, typical of colonial style buildings, is its series of gabled roofs, barge-boarding, white facade and pretty windows looking out into the street.

Back to another era!

When you are looking at staying in one of the hotels in Shimla India, you should stay in a heritage hotel on Mall Road, a key thoroughfare of the city. Mall Road is also home to some of the most charming buildings like the Vice Regal Lodge, Gaiety Theatre, Rothney Castle, Museum and Groton Castle, among others. Walking on the Mall, amidst beautiful buildings and green spaces, with snow peaks and hills peeking through is a wonderful experience.
