ELGIN HALL,

Himachal Pradesh

Nestled in Dalhousie, Himachal Pradesh, Elgin Hall is a re-stored retreat spilling tales of the bygone British era mixed with refined needs of today’s modern travelers. Originally a summer escape for British royals, the property was built in 1857 and named after a British diplomat - Lord Elgin. Today owned by Kavish Khurana, the Hall houses seven lavish suites alongside a formal living room and bar, a classic tea lounge, a library, kids play area, a game room, and a courtyard spelling comfort and luxury.

In light of the pandemic, Elgin Hall has launched a safety initiative called ‘We.care’ that ensures proper and increased sanitization measures that are being undertaken around the property like disinfected spaces, use of masks and gloves by the staff, providing disposable gloves and N95 masks to every guest upon arrival, placing hand sanitizers in every corner, and maintaining social distancing measures.

With each suite doused in a pastel palette and decorated with crisp-white furniture, every corner of this property accentuates the rich Victorian heritage of the region. Furthermore, the hotel surrounds majestic deodar trees, lush private lawns, and panoramic views of the hills soothing to the eyes. If a slice of history and someplace ideal for a family outing is what you’re looking for, Elgin Hall is a utopian vintage escape perfect for it all. www.elginhall.com
