About Hotel Woodville Palace

Woodville Palace has a history dating back to 1865 when Sir William Mansfield, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army became the first resident of this charming estate. The Raja Rana of Jubbal State reconstructed the building in 1938 when hundreds of expert artisans were brought from as far as China to ensure the highest quality of craftsmanship. Kanwar Uday Singh the grandson of the Raj of Jubbal, opened the mansion as a heritage hotel in 1977. Today, the palace is one of the finest places to stay in Shimla.
