Oberoi Cecil

Over 100 years old, the Oberoi Cecil is a Grand Heritage Hotel. It is situated at Chaura Maidan, Shimla, 7000 feet up in the Himalaya.

Built in 1884 as a Himalayan hill station, the hotel has been extensively renovated and reopened in 1997.

With fabulous views across the valley, The Oberoi Cecil is a perfect base from which to explore the spectacular mountain scenery, cedar forests and ancient monasteries of this world famous destination.

The Cecil is within walking distance of the famous Vice Regal Lodge, former summer residence of the Viceroy of India.

The Cecil’s classically elegant interiors with panelling, pillars and chandeliers recall the days of the Raj. Many rooms at the Cecil have views across the valley and snow covered peaks of the Himalaya.
