We weren't staying here but decided to go for a meal. Whilst the hotel is very clean and the staff are immaculate, the menu was very disappointing and we didn't eat there. The views are good but the views from our hotel (The Landmark) were much better. I would have been very disappointed if I had paid over £100 per... More

Amazing luxury and class. Well designed swimming indoor swimming pool and sumptuous cakes. The hotel is located little away from the Mall, on the other side of the Raj Bhawan, far from the maddening crowds.

Fabulous food on offer at every meal.Loved their homemade muesli with yogurt and honey too. They even do the occasional English dish, we got Shepherd`s pie one night, and it was made with lamb too and very tasty.

What a treat to sit and tuck into a typically Indian Style Cold Coffee and small cocktail samosas, served with a smile. the ambience at the Cecil was understated and unobtrusive, which is a rare thing in India where the service culture can be a bit overpowering!

Had a masala chai at this very posh hotel (didn't brave the restaurant prices). A pot for two was 260Rs. The chai was nice and you could see the herbs and spices used. It came with complimentary chocolate cookies which were excellent with a soft centre. Service was polite and efficient as you'd expect, and the surroundings were lovely with... More

One of the classy places in Shimla to dine.Though I had some snacks and pizza with hot chocolate. I was impressed with the quantity and the quality of the food. Little pricey but worth spending your money. It is a fabulous place to try fine dining in Shimla.
