The specially curated Himalayan Vacations offer with Oberoi Hotels & Resorts allows you to choose between two of their exquisite luxury resorts in the Shimla region.
The Oberoi Cecil is a Grand Heritage Hotel in Shimla near Mall Road’s main hustle and bustle, yet, being situated at the quieter end, it also allows you to escape deeper into the peace and tranquillity of the mountains.
Wildflower Hall, an Oberoi Resort near Shimla town centre is around 45 minutes by car from The Oberoi Cecil. Wildflower Hall sits at 2,515 metres above sea level. Due to its high altitude, stays are recommended for guests above 12 years old. The roads here from central Shimla are windy, well-maintained and offer great views of the Shimla valley blanketed in apple and cherry trees.
Should you be thinking of taking a trip to Shimla this summer, Oberoi Hotels & Resorts has some great Shimla hotel offers. Turn your holiday into a road trip to Shimla and make happy memories with your loved ones along the way. A Delhi to Shimla road trip takes around 7 hours. Set off early and you could reach your destination in time for lunch. Or add a stopover in Chandigarh at The Oberoi Sukhvilas Spa Resort, for an extra Oberoi experience.
