Grand View Hotel
Dalhousie
Nestled
in the Himalayas, Dalhousie was the chosen getaway of the English top brass.
Grand View Hotel is just five minutes away from the town centre. It’s a simple
space, and we recommend you choose the old wing—wood paneled and decidedly
colonial—to live in. Tiffins, the in-house restaurant, spreads out lavish
buffets, while the Garden Party Coffee Shop, serves up some lovely views and
some nice, strong coffee.
Chevron Rosemount
Ranikhet
If
you’re interested in time travel, check in at the Chevron Rosemount. The
colonial-styled heritage rooms weigh heavy with a deep and comforting silence
that only hill stations can allow. The hotel was built in the year 1900, and
the solid stone façade and wrought-iron grills charm in no small measure. The
rooms overlook the Himalayas and we recommend a leisurely walk around the
property through the pine forests.
Wildflower Hall
Shimla
Two
heated swimming pools, an award-winning spa, and a menu of adventure sports
make Wildflower Hall the perfect option for a romantic weekend. It’s set in a
dense cedar forest and surrounded by snow-covered peaks. The travel desk
arranges activities, there is 24-hour butler service, and you can tuck into
some of the best pan-Asian fare at the restaurant. With children below 10 not
allowed, you can be assured of a quiet dinner.
Neemrana Fort Palace
Neemrana
Head
to Neemrana village when all you want is quiet time with your partner. At the
Neemrana Fort Palace, the seven wings are tiered on a hill. Hanging gardens and
pools complete your playpen and the only distractions are the Ayurvedic
massages and a vintage car tour of the village. Sansha, the spa, is a haven of
pampering, complete with yoga and meditation. We recommend the body scrubs,
prepared with fresh seasonal fruit, to get rid of the urban stress.
