The
estate on which Woodville palace has been built was
first occupied in 1865 by Sir William Mansfield,
Commander in Chief of the Imperial Army. The palace was
reconstructed in 1938 by the Rana of Jubbal, who brought
in hundreds of expert artisans from far and wide to
ensure the highest quality of craftsmanship. Raj Kumar
Udai Singh of Jubbal, his grandson, opened a part of the mansion as a
guest house in 1977.
Shimla, at 7000 ft, straddling several hills and
surrounded by pine forests and apple orchards, was once
the summer capital of the British Imperial Government.
It is, to date, one of North India's most popular hill
stations and has burgeoned far beyond the days when it
was a little hill town with just a Mall and a scattering
of summer residences. |

Palace Hotel is still a throwback to the heyday of the Raj and
sheltered from the bustle of the hordes within its four acre
