A drive of 12 km from the Shimla tourist rush takes you to peaceful Mashobra, and to your final destination, Hotel Gables. Built by Sir Gilbert Campbell in 1866, the hotel has been a retreat to many a celebrity, and it is not difficult for you to feel one yourself, with the courtesy you enjoy. Front
office, May we help you ... Hotel Gables played host to Lord Lytton and Lady Curzon at one point of time. The regular traveller too finds himself steeped in an ambience of regality, with Hotel Gables colonial architecture, and the attentive service. The Front Office is a perfect example, with its century - old architecture and modern facilities - 12 noon check in, travel desk, car bookings, organised sight seeing trips and almost anything else you would ask for. Rooms with a view
You holiday because you want a break from your working routine. And that is what you find here. Indulgence carried to its extreme. Each of the 30 softly, subtly furnished rooms has channel music, central heating and hot water. We would understand perfectly if you wished to spend your entire holiday indoors. Graceful Dining
And back to business
Mixing business with pleasure takes on a new meaning with a conference at The Gables. A state of art conference hall with a 45 pax U-shaped seating capacity, and a 150 pax theatre style seating capacity, set 7000 feet above rest of humanity, and you understand why the highest of business connections are made here.
Fun and games
In and around Shimla Tucked away so far from the demands of daily life, it seems appropriate to indulge in a bit quite introspection. So you may want to trek up to Jakhu temple, a Hanuman temple and catch the sunrise, or stop for a while at the beautiful stained glass window adorned Christ Church, which was built in the 1850's. Other interesting walks are to Scandal Corner, a place which found its way into Rudyard Kipling's writings, Prospect Hill, a favoured picnic spot, Annandale, once famous for its racecourse, but which hosts games of cricket and polo till today, and to Chadwick Falls, an impressive sight, especially in its post-monsoon fury.
