Padmini
Nivas is a heritage
hotel just a few steps from the Mall in Mussoorie (Uttaranchal,
India) and is among the oldest buildings in Mussoorie. It was
originally named Rushbrooke Estate and was summer residence of
Maharani Padmini.
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.
Padmini
Nivas retains the charm and nostalgia associated with the Raj
and the princely estates. Its 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.
