Top 10 Places to Stay in Mussoorie (With Reviews)

Mussoorie, the “Queen of Hills,” has long been a dream destination for couples, honeymooners, and travellers who crave the perfect mix of nature, nostalgia, and luxury. With breathtaking mountain views and charming colonial lanes, it’s also a favourite for destination weddings and pre-wedding shoots — moments where makeup, mood, and magic come together seamlessly.

As a bridal makeup artist Sohni Juneja, who has glammed up countless brides for Mussoorie weddings, I’ve explored some of the finest stays the hill station has to offer. Here’s my curated list of the Top 10 Places to Stay in Mussoorie, where comfort meets beauty — led by the luxurious Chalet by The Manor House.

1. Chalet by The Manor House – Where Elegance Meets the Hills
