Johnson Hotel & Cafe has been a land mark of Manali. Since 1917 standing there and maintaining its charm. A hotel built in early 1900 by Col. C.R.Johnson. In the starting was built as a family residence for himself but later on after some decades converted in a hotel. Now it comprises of 4 service apartments each having 2 bedrooms separate dining room and kitchen.
I had heard of this place but it was never in my list to visit there. A walk after dinner could turn into an experience, this must have happened with many and it turned into visit to Johnson cafe for me.
I just wanted to know some about this place so stopped there for a cup of coffee. This visit would turn out so good i never expected.
Had the best of hot coffee, perfectly blended with not a single hitch in making. A single sip had made me so happy that i was giggling and had decided that this single sip deserves a blog.
Had been to many pubs and cafe's in Delhi and this place is not at all below standards if i compare to best of i have visited in Delhi. Struck by its location, its Ambience and service, all being 10 on 10.
Its bar had all the brands of liqour you think off. All wooden architecture , well carved designs and a very elegant wood chimney which was the best thing which attracted me most and i am sorry to say something happened to camera that time and i blurred its pic very badly so couldnt post it here, Mishappenings do happen.
As it was night time so i couldnt roam around much and not being a guest also i didnt even bothered to request for a permission as it was too late when i had reached there.
How could i miss this board while entering into the cafe. But for humanity's sake i do had a click of it for others. I know this would attract a lot of you all guys. But something which is not written here that i would tell you all. "There is no VAT " and its not here only infact in whole manali.
Ya this thing happened with me when i asked for bill and i was looking for VAT charges as we Delhites are used too of paying VAT and the first thing we look in our bill. That day i realised What it feels when you ask why No VAT.
So enjoy guys and do visit this Heritage resort if you plan for manali in future. Best of Hotel,Best of Stay & Best of Liquor....No VAT...Johnson Hotel & Cafe.
Though being quite expensive for a stay but for a short visit to its cafe its a sure must place.
Lets tour
Intresting. Will def visit the place next time. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteGood Article Tarun. For a ,moment there, I thought the title says no "VAT 69" commonly called VAT, but later it turned out that what was missing is actually a good thing to miss. How come there was no happy hours for Coffee consumers?
