Mussoorie, a mountain resort town, was developed by the British to escape from the heat of the plains. Situated among lush Himalayan forests, Mussoorie commands a spectacular view of the Himalayas to the North and the Doon Valley to the South.
Amidst this beauty, ideally located on a ridge and a few minutes walk from The Mall, shopping areas and the ropeway is Hotel Padmini Nivas.
As soon as you step into the hotel, you will feel the perfect blend of nature and heritage. Padmini Nivas is among the oldest buildings in Mussoorie. Originally named Rushbrooke Estate, it passed on to the Maharaja of Rajpipla who gifted this property to his wife, Maharani Padmini.
Adding to its charms is the nostalgia associated with the Raj and the princely estates. Carved fireplaces, antique furniture, hunting trophies and grand chandeliers are poignant reminders of the estate’s rich history.
Lying amidst majestic deodar, cypress and oak trees, the hotel wears different colours of nature in every season. Landscaped gardens and terraces, with sit-outs in nooks & corners, make it an ideal place for a quiet holiday, whatever time of year you choose to visit.
Eating is a pleasure at ‘Suruchi’, our multi-cuisine vegetarian restaurant, serving its famous Gujarati thali along with Punjabi, South Indian, Chinese and Continental food.
In the evenings, you can enjoy the ambience of our ‘Season Garden’, the outdoor fast food restaurant open in the summer. With a spectacular view, surrounded by flowering chestnut trees and roses, there is no better place to watch the twinkling lights of the Doon valley.
Maintained with care, this 150 year old heritage property offers well-appointed, spacious rooms, luxuriously furnished suites and cozy cottages overlooking the Doon valley. All the rooms have channel entertainment, intercom and other modern facilities, backed by a friendly and efficient room service.
