Old-world elegance meets modern luxury

The decor at Wildflower Hall is a masterclass in colonial style. Formerly the residence of Lord Kitchener, the former commander-in-chief of the British Army, the interiors evoke the charm of a grand stately home. The rooms — which start at ₹35,000 per night (plus taxes and charges) and go up to ₹90,000 for the most exclusive suites, per Booking.com — feature hand-knotted rugs, Burmese teak wood flooring, and Victorian-style lamps.

Many rooms feature two-poster beds, plush ottomans, and large bay windows framing panoramic views of the Greater Himalayas. The signature suites take luxury a step further with ornate fireplaces at the heart of the living space, paisley-printed sofas, and antique war memorabilia that pay homage to the estate’s history.

Architectural highlights and amenities

Beyond the rooms, the property’s public spaces are designed to offer a nostalgic, warm atmosphere. One of the most striking features of the hotel is its temperature-controlled indoor swimming pool – sparkling crystal chandeliers illuminate it and features classic arches that overlook the peaks.

For those who want to brave the mountain air, the hotel offers an outdoor infinity-edge whirlpool, allowing guests to soak while surrounded by the silence of the cedar woods. Dining at the property is an experience in itself. Whether at the cavalry bar with its leather stools and silk sofas or the glass conservatory at the main restaurant, the decor has a 'heritage style' with white linen tables and fireside seating.
