The Cecil is an amazing property- which is an oasis only ten- fifteen minutes away from Mall Road. Everyone from check - in, restaurant and check out was excellent! The lounge was absolutely our favorite place to hang out. We will most definitely return.

Amazing hospitality at Cecil Oberoi Shimla
Stay was amazing, specially the hospitality of Ms Ankita on arrival and then Shri Rajkumar, the Chef and his team members Ujjawal, Abhi, Thakur , also the Pianist Mr Ravish. It will be incomplete if I don’t mention the name of Akshay and FD Manager Deepika. All worked tirelessly to make their guests comfortable. Hats off to all members in Cecil including Sukhvinder who helped in parking the vehicle properly and safely. I really thank the Cecil team for their dedication.
