Top Shimla Hotel Reviews

Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Tavleen, Chail

Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Tavleen, Chail

10/10 Excellent
"The ITC Tavleen is a beautiful property nestled on a hill overlooking the Himalayas and the Shivalik valley avout 8 kms from Chail. The serenity and pristine beauty leaves you mesmerized. The property's internal road leading to the meditation room makes for a steep climb but can be done unhurriedly. The sunrise from our rooms were magical. The rooms were large and luxurious. The all day restaurant Mongal's deck is a place where you can enjoy your meals and soak in the sunshine. We loved sipping our coffees at the Cafe on the hilltop, as you unwind and let the evening settle itself into the night. I highly recommend vacation destination. The staff were well.informed, helpful and courteous."
