The Oberoi Cecil

The Oberoi Cecil is located on the Mall in Shimla and is ideally located to explore this most characteristic of towns. Combining echoes of the Raj with modern day refinement, the Oberoi Cecil offers impeccable service in a stunning location.

Built in 1884, the Oberoi Cecil was refurbished and restored in 1997 to become the predominant hotel in Shimla. It contains elegant interiors and period furniture and is ideally located for exploring Shimla’s colonial past and experience its Himalayan delights. Most of the 79 rooms and suites at the Oberoi Cecil have valley or mountain views, decorated classically with polished wood and brass and with all modern amenities, expected with a member of the Oberoi portfolio.
