The summer retreat of the erstwhile Raja of Sheikhupura, Hotel Springfields in Shimla is a quaint, heritage property that is a perfect combination of old world charm, privacy and comfort. The hotel encompasses a main house and three outhouses—all of which feature cosy rooms with high ceilings, wooden flooring and roaring fireplaces. Every room opens up to breathtaking views of the valley and the hotel also provides barbeque facilities in its gardens. Hotel Springfields is situated in the peaceful and lush green surroundings of Chotta Shimla, a short 15 minute walk from the Mall. You can also head to the hotel’s restaurant to enjoy a traditional and hearty Indian meal.
