“Shimla British Resort occupies a uniquely secluded spot amidst dense forests, setting it apart. While the property's age is evident, and a refresh is needed, the colonial history dating back to 1893 and architectural elements like the 'Secret Attic' remain compelling. I particularly value the dedicated staff and the availability of quality room service.”
