Perched 2,000 feet above the city of Hyderabad is Taj Falaknuma Palace, a jewel amongst the clouds. Built in 1894, it is the former palace of the Nizam, rumoured to be the richest man in the world at one time. Overlooking the twinkling City of Pearls, this enchanting palace hotel in Hyderabad exudes romance and grandeur that take one back to when the Nizam ruled Hyderabad. From the moment you arrive at Taj Falaknuma Palace in a horse-drawn carriage, our palace butlers treat you like royalty. Walk the walk of kings through the Grand Staircase to retrace the steps of Nizams, European royalty, enchanting Begums and distinguished Heads of State. The five-star luxury hotel, spread over 32 acres, allows you to journey to the gilded ages, where opulence and excess is celebrated and savoured in equal measure.

Amazing experience right from the get go! The palace is amazing as it is but the way the Nizams lived is whole another thing. Food was delicious! Staff is always attentive and very well receptive of everything. Sudhakar has been very helpful explaining everything in detail. Kudos!

The Gol Gumbaz experience at Taj Falaknuma Palace was truly exceptional. Dining beneath the majestic dome felt both intimate and regal, as if the palace itself was hosting us. The soft lighting, intricate detailing, and old-world charm created an atmosphere that was calm, immersive, and unforgettable. A special mention to Pydibabu and Salman, whose warmth, attentiveness, and effortless grace elevated the evening. Their service felt genuine and personal—never scripted, always thoughtful. The cuisine was outstanding. Chef Kaushal Kishore delivered a beautifully balanced culinary journey—deeply rooted in tradition yet refined in execution. Every dish was intentional, elegant, and worthy of the setting. The Gol Gumbaz isn’t just a dining venue; it’s an experience that stays with you. Easily one of the most memorable and refined dining experiences in Hyderabad.
