“Oberoi Cecil's Shimla heritage”
The Oberoi Cecil, Shimla is a well-maintained heritage hotel — excellent comfortable good-sized rooms, some with balconies overlooking Shimla's downtown and early sunrises, a lovely pool, jacuzzi and spa, an exceptional breakfast spanning cooked western and Indian options, nice local-speciality dinners, a perfect fifteen-minute walk to Mall Road, and extremely courteous attentive staff — Abhranil's hospitality makes dinners special on repeat visits. One small nit: the toasted bread quality. Otherwise a five-star stay leaving good memories.
