Wildflower Hall, An Oberoi Resort, Shimla
The former residence of Lord Kitchener, erstwhile commander in chief of the British army, Wildflower Hall, an Oberoi Resort, still exudes the ambience of a grand stately home; with a welcoming lounge, opulent accommodation, a snooker and billiards room, and a well-stocked library. The open air whirlpool is an unforgettable setting for Champagne beside Himalayan views.
