What a wonderful place - initially I was slightly disappointed with the room which was a Valley view room on the upper levels, supposed to be the best unless you are taking the villas. The room seemed rather basic, but the view down to the Ganges from the bathroom and terrace was just astounding. And then I realized that a... More

The grounds and gardens were gorgeous and the spa area and spa treatments were absolutely amazing. The restaurant was fantastic as well, and my husband and I really enjoyed participating in all...

An impromptu visit to the heritage resort, famous for it's spa and majestic grandeur, found us driving up the picturesque climb of about 30 km from Narendra Nagar... Eager to see for ourselves what this much talked - about hotel was like! As we drove up the private road towards the resort, the first glimpse I saw was breathtaking. Driving... More

We stayed at the Ananda Spa in the first week of April for 2 nights. Based on some of the reviews we read and the fact that we had just spent a fantastic weekend at the WildFlower Hall in Shimla we were prepared to be a little disappointed. The drive from Delhi was not very good due to the congested... More

We first stayed at the Ananda Spa over the Christmas period in 2007 and had the most wonderful time. A 10 day stay, including both Christmas Day and New Year, was wonderful. We decided to go back and make this the focal point of a 6 week tour of India in December/January 2012/2013 and were so disappointed. Standards have seriously... More

Stayed here fir two nights for a business conference. Not overly impressed by the property. Firstly you don't stay in a heritage building but in a concrete building some distance from the heritage building. The rooms are large and spacious with a nice balcony.
