Ownership Battle Over ‘Wildflower Hall’, The 121-Year Old Uber luxury hotel In Shimla

The Himachal Pradesh government on Tuesday told the HP High Court that it wants to take possession of the ‘Wildflower Hall’ – the uber luxury heritage hotel which Oberoi Hotels manages in Kufri. The Court had on Saturday stayed the state government’s orders to take possession of the hotel, and directed that the state not interfere in the hotel’s day-to-day management. The next hearing is fixed for Friday, Nov 24. This row erupted days after death of legendary hotelier Prithvi Raj Singh Oberoi, Chairman Emeritus of the Oberoi Group.
