Sterling Holidays launches resort in Chail, Himachal Pradesh

This will be the group’s 40th resort in its portfolio and eighth resort in the Himalayan range

Sterling Shivalik Chail is a charming boutique mountain retreat consisting of 32 rooms, situated 24 kilometers from Shimla.

The rooms, which feature contemporary décor, are crafted from deodar and pine wood to reflect the local architecture and also features seesham and walnut wood for style. The highlight of each room is the private sit-out that provides guests with a stunning vista of the picturesque Shivalik valley, which is home to a lush array of deodar and pine trees.

Guests of the resort can indulge in the unique flavours of ‘Pahari’ and Himachali cuisine at ‘Tibba’, the on-site restaurant.

The hotel also offers unique curated experiences, such as the ‘Pahari Village Tour’ where guests can immerse themselves in Himachali culture by observing traditional village houses, chatting with locals, sampling local cuisine, learning about farming, and even participating in apple harvesting, including the picking of fresh apples with local farmers during the season.

Speaking on the inauguration of the property, Vikram Lalvani, Managing Director and CEO of Sterling Holiday Resorts, said, “Holiday seekers prefer the mountains to beat the heat, and in line with this demand, Sterling has a strong portfolio of 18 mountain resorts in both popular and new-age destinations.”

Speaking on the occasion, Shriram Thakur, owner of the resort, said, “I am sure they will make Chail a prominent destination on the tourism map of the country.”
