Perched at approximately 7,000 feet, The Oberoi Cecil is a landmark blend of colonial grace and luxury set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Himalayas. Originally opened in 1884, this heritage grand hotel was rejuvenated by the Oberoi team and reopened in 1997, rediscovering its original charm with a modern touch.
Inside, you’ll discover 79 beautifully styled rooms and suites, adorned with teakwood floors, vintage chandeliers, and polished wooden paneling. Many rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows that frame sweeping valley views and snow-dusted peaks. Period details, such as Persian carpets and antique brass fixtures, blend seamlessly with modern comforts—including 24-hour butler service, LCD TVs, and luxurious bathtubs stocked with Ayurvedic toiletries.
The hotel’s ballroom-turned-restaurant serves fine pan-Indian, international, and Himachali cuisine, surrounding guests with elegance and history. Leisure amenities include an indoor temperature-controlled pool with valley views, a spa with Ayurvedic and signature therapies, plus fitness, sauna, and steam facilities. Families are warmly welcomed, with a children’s activity centre offering games, a library, and indoor fun.
True to the Oberoi brand, service is attentive and gracious—many guests laud the staff for their warmth, care, and flawless hospitality.
The hotel’s idyllic location at the quieter end of Shimla’s Mall Road puts you within easy walking distance of Shimla’s cultural pulse. You can stroll to The Ridge, Scandal Point, the Indian Institute of Advanced Study, and sample local life at Lakkar Bazaar and Christ Church.
Further afield, natural and spiritual attractions like Jakhoo Temple (~2.8 km), Tara Devi Temple (~11 km), and serene spots such as Mashobra and its nearby forests await exploration.
