Hotel THE OBEROI CECIL, SHIMLA

THE OBEROI CECIL, SHIMLA

During the times of the British Raj, this was an exclusive hotel, known for its fabulous ballroom dances and fashionable clientele. 130 years later, this elegant, restored grand heritage hotel retains much of its colonial charm.

Located at the quieter end of the bustling Mall Road, near the Viceroy Lodge, The Oberoi Cecil is announced by a crisp, white facade and smart, green terrace railings. Inside, a lobby punctuated with marble fireplaces leads guests to a comfortable lounge, which is lit from above by a skylight that spans the length and breadth of the hotel's signature atrium.

Testimonials from our guests

• " We were only planning to stay one night and ended up staying for four! After our long journey walking into the hotel was like stepping into our oasis. Every member of staff has been so kind, polite, helpful and friendly. The housekeeping staff have kept our room so beautifully clean and tidy and have helped us out with lots of little areas. Staff were amazing. And food too. We are sad to leave. "

• " This has been our best hotel experience ever. We planned to stay for three nights, but stayed for five. Now that it's time for checkout we don't want to leave. We will definitely recommend this hotel to everyone we know. "

• " Thank you to all of the staff for a wonderful stay on our honeymoon. We have stayed in many places all over the world but I believe this hotel has offered us the best service. Everyone is friendly and nothing is any trouble to arrange. If we have the chance to come back to Shimla, we would definitely stay here again. Many thanks. "

• " The Oberoi Cecil more than customised our stay and went out of their way to cater to the food requirements for my children. I don't think the hotel or its staff could have done anything more to make our stay enjoyable and memorable. It felt more like home with personalised service. Especially for my young children who enjoyed every bit of their hotel experience. Thank you for a wonderful holiday! "
