You can experience hospitality like this only at an Oberoi. Cecil has always been our family's favourite hotel and maintains its spot at the top of our list! They continue to have an excellent staff that goes much beyond what is required of them.

Oberoi’s as they say stand upto the expectations and yes at times go beyond to attend to the comfort of their guests, the very recent three day family visit to Hotel Cecil Shimla from 12th to 14th December was just the experience we were looking forward to celebrate my Son’s 2nd birthday. The staff under the able guidance of their General Manager Ms.Swati Srivastava literally pampered my son who kept them busy with his insatiable demands. It gave us home away from home feel. This British era heritage property situated on Chaura Maidan, on the quieter end of the Mall Road overlooking the Himalayas retains the Colonial ambience and vibes. Breakfast buffet was well taken care of by experienced Chef Rajkumar Bhatia who personally attended us with their specially curated Indian as well as western culinary. One can try there local Himachali cuisines at their extended property across the road to get a glimpse of Himachal culture. I wind up by thanking Shreeja, Rahul, driver and other staff members with the list which is not exhaustive whose names I couldn’t mention because of my limited memory for making this trip a memorable one for each one of us.
