Jewel amongst the clouds

An enchanting palace hotel

Perched 2,000 feet above the city of Hyderabad is Taj Falaknuma Palace, a jewel amongst the clouds.

This luxury hotel sits in 32 acres of private grounds with beautiful green manicured lawns.

There are 60 rooms and suites, beautifully refurbished and lovingly restored by Her Highness Princess Esra, the Nizam’s Turkish wife. Each provides marvelous views of the palace courtyard and the 400-year-old city of Hyderabad.

There are two restaurants, a hookah bar, a terrace to enjoy afternoon tea and the Gol bungalow for exclusive dining options. Feel holistically rejuvenated at the Jiva Spa, rooted in the traditional Indian approach to wellness.
