History

Created as a summer capital by Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala in 1891, the Chail Palace is a grand mansion and a heritage hotel located at a distance of 45 km from Shimla. Set in about 75 acres of land, the Chail Palace has a grandiose setting with spectacular views. A wide variety of cottages, suites and rooms can accommodate every visitor who wishes to delight in this regal palace.

The story goes that Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala had eloped with the daughter of the British Viceroy, which led to the restriction of his entry into the summer capital, Shimla. Owing to this, the Maharaja vowed to build a new summer capital for himself, Chail, which he built as per his requirements.

The Chail Palace is a palace in true sense of the word as every visitor here is treated with royalty. The suites, rooms and cottages are extravagantly furnished with antique furniture and wall to wall carpeting. Also, the architecture here is quite striking. The accommodation ranges from reasonable cottages to the top of the line Maharaja and Maharani Suites. The Chail Palace is surrounded by charming cottages, dense forests, and a 'lover’s hill'. For recreation there is a Children's Park, lush green lawns for leisurely walks, badminton, lawn tennis, and billiards.

The Chail Palace is a true reflection of the Maharaja's flashy personality. Each majestic suite, each beautiful cottage and every warm log hut offers an unforgettable holiday. The palace stands on a hilltop and appears to float in the clouds. Surrounded by pine and deodar trees, the picturesque beauty of Chail is an added adornment to the Chail Palace. This magnificent palace is truly worth a visit. For all you know it'll bring out the Maharaja in you!
