Lalitha Mahal Palace Hotel

In Mysore, you can indeed live like king at the Lalitha Mahal palace Hotel. An erstwhile royal building of the Mysore Maharaja, built in 1921 and used as a guest house for his royal visitors, it has since been converted into heritage hotel. It has exquisite marble work, ornate pillars, spacious halls and beautiful rooms. Royal artefacts lie scattered around and huge paintings adorn the walls. Guests are even given a royal welcome, complete with a shower of rose petals, and crowned with a royal peta (turban) when you’re ready to step out do visit the Amba Villas palace or the Mysore palace in the centre of town to gaze at some of the royal treasures of Mysore, including stunning stained glass work in the central hall.

Stay at a shimmering white palace on a hill; grap a chance to experience the royal life, and do it all just a few kilometres from Mysore’s famous landmarks, including the Mysore Palace, and Brindavan Gardens. Don’t skip the intricately carved amba Vilas Durbar Hall, Chamrajendra Art Gallery, St. Philomena’s Church, and the zoological gardens. Built in 1931, on the slope of Chamundi Hill, Lalitha Mahal resembles an Italian palazzo, with its columns and domes, terraces andmeticulously landscaped gardens. Built by the Maharaja of Mysore to host the Viceroy of India, the palace hotel is a majestic reminder of the princely state’s not-so-distant past.
