Onora Hospitality, the parent company of boutique hospitality brand jüSTa Hotels & Resorts, has signed a heritage-style retreat in the forested surroundings of Jakhu Hills, the highest point in Shimla.
The development will be the Group’s sixth property in Himachal Pradesh, where it currently operates jüSTa Resorts & Hotels in Mashobra, Dharamshala, Manali and Palampur, along with a Bookmark Resorts property in Manali. The hotel will open in mid-March.
A retreat surrounded by forest trails
“With this signing, jüSTa Hotels & Resorts further strengthens its footprint in high-potential leisure destinations across North India, with a focus on character-rich properties that deliver authentic and memorable guest experiences,” said Ashish Vohra, Founder & CEO, Onora Hospitality.
Design inspired by colonial era architecture
Constructed using deodar wood, the interiors reflect Shimla’s colonial-era architectural vocabulary through extensive woodwork interpreted in a contemporary design language. All rooms are designed to offer forest views and will be available across three room categories differentiated by layout and spatial configuration.
Wellness and leisure experiences
Positioned as a premium boutique retreat, the property will offer a full-service spa, dedicated yoga and indoor recreation areas and guided nature walks. An English-style café overlooking the forest has been planned as an alternative to the commercial activity of the Mall Road.
