WOODVILLE PALACE SHIMLA
 Woodville
Palace has a history dating back to 1865 when Sir William Mansfield,
Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army became the first resident of
this charming estate. The building was reconstructed in 1938 by Raja
Rana of Jubbal State when hundreds of expert artisans were brought from
as far as China to ensure the highest quality of craftsmanship. Kanwar
Uday Singh the grandson of the Raja of Jubbal, opened the mansion as a
heritage hotel in 1977. Today, the Palace is one of the finest places to
stay in Shimla. Woodville Palace is located in four acres of peace
solitude and half a mile away from the mall.
 Shimla
Situated at an altitude of 7000 feet, far from the sweltering plains,
Shimla was once a nondescript village. It become popular with the
British in the 1830s and later became the Summer capital of the imperial
government. Enticed by its salubrious character, the British ended-up
spending more time at this 'hill station', than at the real capital at
Calcutta. Today, it is the capital of state of Himachal Pradesh and
holds the lingering echoes of the bygone era.
