Taj Falaknuma Palace, Hyderabad
A lavish welcome that sets the bar high
Once the former residence of the Nizam of Hyderabad, Taj Falaknuma Palace is a beautifully restored historic building perched high above the city.
When a horse-drawn chariot meets you at the gate and carries you through gardens scattered with peacocks roaming the lawns and you are showered with rose petals as you walk up the marble stairs, you know you are in for a stay fit for royalty. As you walk into the marble lobby you will take a step back into history. It took ten years of sensitive restoration to preserve the palace’s Venetian chandeliers, French tapestries and hand-painted ceilings. A guided tour of the property will reveal its rich history and unique features. After exploring the city’s sights, take a dip in the heated outdoor pool or visit the J Wellness Centre where you can indulge in a range of pampering therapies including Nawab-e-Khas, a signature treatment created for royals.
