The Orchid Shimla  

Perched in the hills above Shimla, this 5-star boutique hotel sits about 3 km from the city center. Mall Road, Lakkar Bazar and Indira Tourist Park are a short drive away, making it a smart base for sightseeing.

Elegant, modern architecture meets cozy, nest-like rooms. The property has 96 air-conditioned guestrooms with thoughtful touches like toiletries, hair dryers, safes and desks. Shared spaces include a library and a barbeque area, plus kids’ playrooms and an arcade so families can unwind.

Relax at the full spa with massage, sauna and steam rooms, or stay active in the fitness center. Swim in on-site pool options, sip at the bar, and enjoy free Wi‑Fi across the grounds. Valet parking, concierge and car rental services keep logistics simple. Wake up to hilltop views and a breath of mountain air.

Large events are covered with roughly 5,000 sq ft of conference and meeting space. Complimentary wireless internet, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage make business travel smooth.

On-site restaurant and a coffee shop/cafe serve local cuisine and casual bites. A bar/lounge pours evening drinks, and buffet breakfasts are available daily for a fee.
