Hotel Mount View

Top choice in Dalhousie


This 1895 heritage property, in the same family since the 1930s, has been renovated to give top-class comfort while retaining oodles of charm. There's a games room, a gym, billiards, an enticing spa and truly lovely lawns that spread towards a magnificent view.

The hotel's Kettle House restaurant (mains ₹190 to ₹455) is a veritable museum of teapots and antique water-boiling devices.
