Over 100 years old, the Oberoi Cecil is a Grand Heritage

Himalaya. Built in 1884 as a Himalayan hill station, the hotel
has been extensively renovated and reopened in 1997. With fabulous
views across the valley, The Oberoi Cecil is a perfect base from
which to explore the spectacular mountain scenery, cedar forests
and ancient monasteries of this world famous destination. The
Cecil is within walking distance of the famous Vice Regal Lodge,
former summer residence of the Viceroy of India.
The Cecil’s classically elegant interiors
with panelling, pillars and chandeliers recall the
days of the Raj. Many rooms at the Cecil have views
across the valley and snow covered peaks of the Himalaya.
The Hotel is centrally heated in winter, air-conditioned
in summer and features one of the highest located
heated swimming pools in the world. A specially designed
