Hotel Marina Shimla

HOTEL MARINA, a luxury boutique hotel located amidst the lush green landscape of Shimla, is a unique property with a rich history. This hundred year old property was considered one of the most prestigious hotels during the British regime. In 1941, just before independence, it was bought by the late Ramdas Thakur under the name Hotel Glenarm. In 1941, it was renamed Hotel Marina and accommodated forty lavish rooms, a fine dining restaurant and a billiards room. Until early 2000, the property was managed by Mr. Raghunath Singh Thakur, and so far has boasted a guest list that includes many of India’s topmost politicians, Bollywood actors and world renowned artists.

Recognising the growing needs and challenges of the hospitality industry, and seeking to cater to guests who desired a balance between style and substance in their lives and in the destinations they chose, the management decided that a change was necessary. In 2007, the old structure of the hotel was demolished and restructured. In 2012, Hotel Marina was finally relaunched as a fifty-four rooms, luxury boutique hotel.
All in all, the Marina Hotel promises to deliver a unique experience to guests, making a stay at this hotel memorable and worth every penny spent.

Christ Church

During the British Raj in India, the area around the church was occupied by a huge flock of Britishers and Anglo-Indians. Since they were the followers of Christianity, they asked the government to build a place of worship for them. Hence, in 1844, the construction of the Christ Church started. For conducting the divine services, the church was officially given the license on October 11th, 1846, while it became a pure symbol of devotion on January 10th, 1857.
With its Neo-Gothic style of architecture, the Christ Church redefines the beauty in its own unique way. Although the interior is quite simple and plain, the most interesting feature of this religious place is its five windows that attract tourists from all over the world.

Jakhoo Temple

Nestling atop Jhakhu Hill, the Jhakhu Temple is one of Shimla’s popular places of religious importance. It is situated 2.5 km away from the ridge, at an elevation of 8000 ft above sea level. Tourists either can walk up to the temple from the ridge or can hire a pony or taxi. This ancient shrine was built by a sage named Yaaku and is dedicated to the Hindu deity Hanuman.
There are a number of legends associated with the origin of the temple, one of which states that Lord Hanuman stopped at the Jhakhu Hill when he was looking for Sanjeevani herb. He met sage Yaaku on the hilltop and then moved ahead in his journey.
