About Wildflower Hall
The Wildflower Hall, the erstwhile residence of the British Commander–in-Chief Lord Kitchener, is today a luxury Oberoi resort, built around the wellness of body and mind. The Wildflower Hall is nestled in ‘Himalayan Mystique’ within thick evergreen forests. Located in Mashobra at an altitude of 2500 meters (8250 feet) above mean sea level, Wildflower Hall overlooks breathtaking natural beauty, and it is a picturesque forty-five minutes drive through forested hills from Shimla. The British used the splendor of Mashobra to build their country homes in search of rest and relaxation. Reflecting its gracious past, the interiors of Wildflower Hall are luxurious and inviting, with wood paneling, fire places and original works of art creating an aura of old world charm. It is 15 kms away from the Shimla Town, 35 kms from the Shimla aiport, 90 kms from Kalka, 120 kms from Chandigarh and 375 kms from Delhi.

The Wildflower Hall Story
Going back in time, this fascinating resort is wrapped in the history of Shimla for more than a hundred years. It was for many years the property of Mr. G H M Batten, C S who officiated as the one time Private Secretary of the Earl of Lytton. It was also the favourite retreat of Lord Ripon. Later, it also served as a charming country villa of Lord and Lady Dufferin. However, it is best remembered as the former residence of Lord Kitchener of Khartoum, the Commander in Chief of the British Army, who secured the lease for the house almost as soon as he arrived in Shimla. Immediately after he left India, the Goldstein family sold Wildflower Hall to Mrs. Hotz who converted it into a hotel. The place became a popular residence for visitors and weekend resort for the Shimla public.

Before the formation of the Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation in 1972, the Wildflower Hall was being run as a hotel by the Department of Tourism. In 1972, the property, along with several others, was transferred to the HPTDC. Unfortunately, the building was gutted in a devastating fire in the year 1993.

The Oberoi group took over and began construction the year 1995 and a majestic new building was erected among the sylvan surroundings and sweet smelling pines. The hotel is a perfect base from which to explore the fascinating Himalayas. Out door activities include trekking, mountain biking, picnics, nature walks and riding. The building occupies only five percent of the twenty-two acres of property, allowing guests ample space for privacy and tranquility.

Overlooking the serene ambience of the Himalayas, the Oberoi Spa by Banyan Tree offers non-clinical programmes for relaxation and beauty. Treatments incorporate the use of Ayurvedic principles of holistic health maintenance, herbal treatments and aromatherapy.
