Once the home of the Nizam of Hyderabad, Falaknuma Palace has been thoughtfully leased to the Taj Group of Hotels Resorts and Palaces by the Royal Family of Hyderabad. Members of the Royal Family have personally overseen a portion of the Palace's restoration. Guests can now indulge in the renowned Nizam's hospitality, which was previously reserved exclusively for royalty.

Guests who have immersed themselves in the palace's lavishness have marveled at its grand Venetian chandeliers, unique furniture, majestic marble staircases, soothing fountains, invaluable statues, and exquisite objets d'art. Stained-glass windows, one-of-a-kind sketches and murals encased in ornate frames, and an unparalleled collection of crystals are also part of the palace's allure.

The Nizam personally designed the Mughal, Rajasthani, and Japanese gardens found on the property. The Palace Library, modeled after Windsor Castle's library, houses a prized collection of rare manuscripts, books, and one of the country's most esteemed collections of the Holy Quran, all handpicked by the Nizam himself.

If you're looking for a place to stay in Hyderabad, the hotel boasts 60 rooms and suites, each showcasing traditional art and furnishings. Not only that, but the rooms also offer stunning views of the city and palace courtyard. If you're looking for something extra special, select suites even offer private balconies and separate living rooms.

When it comes to dining, the hotel has a few different options for you to choose from. At Adaa, chefs prepare slow-cooked Indian Hyderabadi fare, taking inspiration from historic royal kitchens. For those in the mood for Italian cuisine, Celeste offers pizza and pasta in an elegant setting. High tea in the Jade Terrace is a must-do, as you'll get to enjoy stunning city views. And if you're in the mood for a specialty cocktail, head over to the mahogany Hookah Lounge.

If you're looking to relax and unwind, the hotel has you covered. Take a dip in the outdoor pool or treat yourself to a spa day at Jiva Spa. The spa specializes in Indian aromatherapies, Ayurvedic treatments, and private instruction in a variety of yoga styles. Plus, there are steam and chill showers, a relaxation room, and even organic spa cuisine to enjoy.
