Learn more about Shimla

Ascend to this former British summer capital on the narrow-gauge toy train, winding through misty pine forests with views that explain why the Raj fled here each summer. The Mall Road offers colonial architecture and modern shops, while Christ Church stands as a Gothic reminder of imperial days. Jakhu Temple rewards hikers with panoramic Himalayan vistas and an enormous orange monkey god statue. The Ridge provides the perfect spot for people-watching beneath neo-Gothic spires. History buffs shouldn't miss the Vice-regal Lodge, where the partition of India was planned. When winter arrives, locals glide across South Asia's largest natural ice skating rink, a rare treat in a country known for its heat.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Shimla

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly times to visit Shimla are February, September, and November, when hotel prices are generally lower. For a fulfilling experience that includes key landmarks and cultural sites, it is advisable to stay for at least 2 to 3 days. During your visit, you can explore historical temples, picturesque forests, and the scenic views from the golf course. Additionally, don’t miss the chance to enjoy horseback riding, ice skating, and roller skating, all of which offer great value for money while immersing you in the natural beauty and cultural richness of Shimla.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals for Shimla, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted hotel rates close to your travel date. Additionally, enabling email alerts or push notifications can keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you take advantage of potential savings. The Smart Shopping tool available in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re more likely to see the best options. By staying updated on availability and price drops, you’ll be well-positioned to book that spontaneous escape.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay at a hotel in Shimla. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may sometimes offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we may suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you to secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Staying closer to key attractions or city centres can offer convenience, but it often comes at a premium. For more affordable options, you might consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and accessibility to the sites you wish to visit. Independent hotels located further out are usually more likely to be affordable and can provide a more authentic experience.
