The Nilaya

Perched in the Mashobra hills outside Shimla, this 4-star boutique hotel sits amid pine forest and Himalayan foothills. A short drive from Craignano Nature Park and Naldehra Golf Course, and about 16 km from Shimla’s Mall Road. Pet-friendly and ideal for mountain getaways.

Twenty-four individually decorated rooms mix Select Comfort beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, minibars and LED TVs. Bathrooms feature rainfall showers and complimentary toiletries, and many rooms open onto terraces with forest or valley views. The hotel keeps a boutique, relaxed vibe and offers wedding services and wheelchair-accessible facilities.

Take in the views from the terrace, unwind at the bar/lounge or dine at the on-site restaurant. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, concierge service and free valet parking add convenience, while a library, BBQ area and kids’ playroom expand the on-site options. There’s a tour desk, daily housekeeping, 24-hour security and taxi service—so you can wake up to fresh Himalayan air and head straight out to explore.

On-site business center and express check-in, plus complimentary newspapers in the lobby and Wi‑Fi throughout. Free valet parking is available.

The restaurant highlights local cuisine and regional flavors; buffet breakfast is served daily from 8:00–10:30 for a fee. Room service is offered during limited hours and the bar/lounge serves drinks for relaxed evenings.
