Woodville
Palace has an impressive history dating right back to 1866 when
Sir William Mansfield, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army
became the first resident
of this charming and picturesque estate. It was later acquired
by His Highness Maharaja Bhagvat Sinh of Gondal State in Western
Indian as a gift for his daughter, Rani Leila Ba of Jubbal State.
Her husband, Raja Rana Sir Bhagat Chand tore down the old structure
and constructed a new building in 1938. Hundreds of expert artisans
were commissioned to ensure the highest quality of craftsmanship.
Rajkumar Uday Singh, grandson of the Raja Sahib opened a part
of the mansion as a small hotel in April, 1977. Today, the palace
is one of the classiest places to stay in Shimla.

Located
at 7000 feet near the heart of Shimla, the ‘Queen of The
Hills ', Woodville Palace is the Kohinoor on this queen’s
crown. Stepping into the impeccable Woodville Palace of the Royal
family of Jubbal is like stepping into a time machine where one
is transported to the British Raj of the 1930’s. The palace
is adorned with multi level rose gardens and lawns. It is also
considered a gateway to lesser-known and equally spectacular hill
stations of Kufri and Chail.
