The Fort Nalagarh

Large and suggestive hotel created from the ancient fort of the city, restored and repainted in white and blue. It's a whole set of spaces, stairs, courtyards and terraces that loom over the nearby town. Panoramic view of the Shivalik hills. Spectacular sunsets from the large crenelated spaces on the roofs of the fortress. Beautiful suites furnished with nineteenth-century furniture, period photos and large, fascinating common areas. Naturally the type of solution is unable to hide the small practical defects connected to old structures of this kind, the dustiness, the somewhat shabby appearance and the poor efficiency of bathrooms and equipment, but the whole is nevertheless very particular and pleasant and makes you accept even what we can define as small flaws without problems. Immense rooms, with balconies overlooking the valley, still acceptable bathrooms and king beds. AC, TV, water and tea/coffee kit, traditional ceiling fans and heaters if necessary, but no fridge and during our stay no wifi, even if declared existing. Large swimming pool available and tennis court. Restaurant with buffet dinners. Double room including breakfast from 40 to 60 € depending on seasonality. In any case, it is a very special stay that I really like for the sensations of times gone by that it manages to give.
