Taj Falaknuma Palace

Hyderabad, India

Perched 609 meters above sea level, Taj Falaknuma Palace is a jewel among the clouds. In 1894, one of the richest men in the world at that time ordered the construction of a magnificent palace that would tower over Hyderabad, known as the City of Pearls. Currently, there is a luxury hotel inside, to which guests are transported by carriage. During their stay, they are treated by butlers like members of the royal family. The butlers will also be happy to take guests on a walk, during which they will explain the history of this unique place.

The rooms and luxurious apartments have been wonderfully restored by the Princess of Hyderabad, Esra, so you can admire the richly decorated interiors. Each of the rooms and suites offers stunning views of the palace courtyard and the 400-year-old city of Hyderabad. As Hyderabad is known for pearl jewelry, it is worth visiting the best local jewelers and seeing the traditional and modern designs of interesting ornaments. It is also worth visiting the wonderful mausoleum of 7 rulers from the Qutb Shahi dynasty, which consists of 21 tombs with granite domes surrounded by gardens.

What does this best hotel in India offer? First of all, interesting trips, e.g. to the Chowmahalla palace with its historic interiors and to the remains of the Golkonda fort, where the capital of one of the oldest and richest medieval sultanates in India was established. Exquisite hotel restaurants offer dishes of various cuisines, but guests will always feel as if they were at a feast at the Nizam's, i.e. former rulers'. The Celeste restaurant delights with its Renaissance interiors, and Adaa will present the culinary traditions of the Nizams.

An exclusive holiday in India at the Taj Falaknuma Palace hotel also includes a visit to a luxurious spa, which offers a variety of treatments using the best ingredients, including exotic herbs imported from all over the country. Experienced therapists use excellent traditional body cleansing techniques.
