HOTEL MARINA, a luxury boutique hotel located amidst the lush green landscape of Shimla, is a unique property with a rich history. This hundred year old property was considered one of the most prestigious hotels during the British regime. In 1941, just before independence, it was bought by the late Ramdas Thakur under the name Hotel Glenarm. In 1941, it was renamed Hotel Marina and accommodated forty lavish rooms, a fine dining restaurant and a billiards room. Until early 2000, the property was managed by Mr. Raghunath Singh Thakur, and so far has boasted a guest list that includes many of India’s topmost politicians, Bollywood actors and world renowned artists.
Recognising the growing needs and challenges of the hospitality industry, and seeking to cater to guests who desired a balance between style and substance in their lives and in the destinations they chose, the management decided that a change was necessary. In 2007, the old structure of the hotel was demolished and restructured. In 2012, Hotel Marina was finally relaunched as a fifty-four rooms, luxury boutique hotel.
The new Marina balances its distinctive past with a strikingly modern approach of design that is as refreshing, accessible and comfortable as one’s own living space, with an emphasis on comfort, attentive service and exceptional amenities.
A one-of-its-kind property in the region – the epitome of true luxury, hospitality and services!
