Clarkes Hotel

The story of Clarkes Hotel dates back to the 1920s, when Mr. Ernest Clarke arrived as Manager of the then Cecil Hotel. Both Mr. Clarke and his wife Gertrude had a keen eye for talent and took a great liking to the honesty and hard work of young Mohan Singh Oberoi, the front desk clerk at that time.Clarkes is one of Shimla’s oldest hotels. The 32 rooms and suites are tastefully appointed and some of them offer spectacular views of the mountains or Shimla.The late 18th century bar, which adjoins the reception area, is a comfortable space for guests to either relax with family and friends, or enjoy some quiet time at the end of a day sightseeing.
