This was the first hotel in Mussoorie. Charlieveli Hotel was only hotel in India which was under Queen Mary, who later became Queen of Britain. Since the last century till independence this hotel was very famous both in India and abroad. But, slowly Charlieveli Hotel lost its charm and in 1958 the hotel closed down to be lost in pages of history.

Soon Government of India took over the hotel building and converted it into the national academy for training Indian administrative service officers. This institute is today called the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Administrative Academy. This academy is pride of Mussoorie and is a very important institute in India.
