Hotel Padmini Nivas

Mussoorie


Built by the British in the 1820s is this former house that's been converted into a sprawling heritage hotel with plenty of old-fashioned charm. Large rooms with quaint sunrooms are beautifully furnished; those in the 'heritage wing' are significantly nicer than those in the side building which feel institutional. The dining room, with antique furniture, is an outstanding feature.

The whole place is set on 2 hectares of landscaped gardens. Genteel management are courteous and professional.
