Clarkes hotel, A grand heritage hotel since 1898

This is a delightful historic hotel ideal for exploring old town Shimla. As an Oberoi property, it may not be at the luxury level of others in the chain, but that also makes it reasonably priced. (And note this may change as hotel is currently closed for major renovation). I was so very impressed with the service: Hot water bottles are a delightful touch to warm the beds on winter nights there (something I have never been offered at other hotels); when my daughter experienced a racing heartrate from altitude sickness, they brought in a blood pressure test to check; and finally all staff seemed to remember our names flawlessly. The comfort food was delicious. I cannot say enough good things about the staff and the property.
