The former residence of Lord Kitchener, erstwhile commander in chief of the British army, Wildflower Hall is a 5 star resort in Shimla that exudes the ambience of a grand stately home; with a welcoming lounge, opulent accommodation, a snooker and billiards room, and a well stocked library.

Wildflower Hall provides a unique opportunity for you to lose yourself in the romance of nature. Indoor and al fresco dining areas with mountain views, personalised spa experiences in wooded locations, energising outdoor sports and private dining. All complemented by our sincere attention to your every need, at the best resort in Shimla.

100% of the electricity needs of Wildflower Hall are met by clean hydro-electric power. The hotel is equipped with Electric Vehicle charging stations as well.
