Willow Banks was established in the year 1871, a landmark estate which spells history and exemplifies an era of gracious living, originally owned by Arthur  James Cradook, "Architect and Builder of Simla". In a fitting ttribute to his memory the building has been redesigned into a Hotel, endowed with all modern amenities and comforts effortlessly blending into the surrounding landscape and enhancing its beauty.

Located at level with the Mall Road, Shimla's main promenade and happening place, the hotel is elegance personified, centrally heated with cozy elegant lobby, atrium and spacious, artistically designed rooms with vibrant yet soothing interiors in an ambience oozing good taste and refinement. A multiplicity of contrasting colours and designs add a unique distinctness to each and every area of the hotel. Italian marble, granite, malaysian rubber wood and teak-wood complement each other to produce a decor which is both visually and aesthetically appealing.
