One of
the oldest buildings in the hill station of Mussoorie,
the Kasmanda Palace was originally a part of the Christ
Church complex built in 1836 by Captain Rennie Tailour
of the Bengal Engineers. This gleaming white stately
mansion built in the Anglo-French style served as a
sanatorium for the British armed forces and then as a
school (one of the first in Mussoorie) before finally
becoming the summer retreat of the Kasmanda Royal
Family. While it has remained in this family, it is now
run as a Heritage Hotel. The grandeur and stateliness of
this Palace is only matched by its spectacular setting.
Situated 200 metres uphill from the Mall, it has a
magnificent view both of the town of Mussoorie as well
as the Doon Valley and |
|
|
| is
strategically placed in a sprawling estate of 3 acres of pine
forest, terraced gardens and green lawns. |

Accommodation
Decades of
history are unfurled from the grand entry and up
the sweeping staircase that lead to the rooms. The
rooms are furnished with antique Anglo-French
style furniture in keeping with the architecture
of the edifice. The rooms are spacious, the
bathrooms immense, and family portraits, pictures
of tiger hunts and old lithographs recall more
than a century's worth of the Kasmanda royal
family's annals in this immaculate white Palace.
