Willow Banks Hotel

In the heart of Shimla on The Mall Road, a heritage stay steps from the Ridge and Mall Road attractions. Walkable to Christ Church, Gaiety Theater, Lakkar Bazaar and local markets, this spa hotel doubles as a central, family-friendly base for exploring the town.

A landmark estate from 1871 reimagined as a hotel — heritage bones with modern swagger. Surrounded by deodar and pine, rooms are individually decorated and many offer balconies overlooking the valley and the town lights. Rooms include refrigerators/minibars, some kitchenettes, private baths with tubs or rainfall showers, and 24-hour room service.

Spa with massages, body treatments and facials, plus a hot tub, sauna and fitness/health club. Nightclub, arcade/game room and a beauty salon with hairdresser keep things lively. Concierge, babysitting, laundry, valet and airport shuttle add convenience. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, wheelchair access and on-site parking (charges apply) round out the offerings — perfect for waking up to pine-scented mornings before hitting the town.

Business center on site, limo/town car service and complimentary newspapers in the lobby. Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property; self parking available (charges may apply).

Four on-site restaurants, a coffee shop/café and two bars/lounges serve up local and regional flavors. Buffet breakfasts are available daily (fee applies) and 24-hour room service keeps late-night cravings covered.
