Notable public rooms include The Parlour, Refectory dining room, and Conservatory, each reflecting distinguished craftsmanship.
Guest Chambers
The hotel offers eight spacious guest chambers, each equipped with an antique four-poster bed, a fireplace, and stunning views. Every room features en-suite marble bathrooms with shower cubicles, bathtubs, and vanity mirrors for added convenience. These chambers harmoniously blend conservative Victorian design with contemporary comfort.
Cottages
Eight individual cottages surround the swimming pool and orchard garden, providing magnificent views of the Manali landscape. Each cottage contains two bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms, a drawing room, dining area, and kitchenette. Hardwood floors, fireplaces, and restored Victorian roll-top baths contribute to an atmosphere of luxury.
Location and Accessibility
The Himalayan is located near the picturesque Kullu Valley, offering access to various natural attractions and cultural sites. It is accessible by a short flight from Delhi to Kullu, followed by a brief drive to the hotel. The surrounding area provides opportunities for outdoor activities and exploration potential.
Dining Options
Guests can enjoy dining experiences at the Refectory, which emphasizes craftsmanship and tasteful decor. Room service is also available for those seeking comfort in their chambers. The picturesque setting enhances the culinary offerings, allowing guests to enjoy their meals amidst stunning surroundings.
Highlights
Architecture: Striking Gothic façade with battlements
Rooms: Antique four-poster beds in spacious chambers
Cottages: Eight individual cottages with kitchenette
Dining: Emphasis on craftsmanship in the Refectory
Location: Near Kullu Valley with outdoor activity access
“Here's my take: the Victorian Gothic architecture sets this place apart, a visual treat amidst the mountain scenery. Cottages with private balconies nestled among orchards offer families a blend of seclusion and access. It's a serene base, seemingly removed from the bustle yet positioned for reaching local attractions with ease.”
