About the Hotel
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.

Reviews for Taj Falaknuma Palace, Hyderabad
Over hyped
1. Kids play area not in playing conditions, no maintenance. 2. We specified that we r celebrating special occasion, but it didn't feel so by the cold response received. Overall we dint feel so great to visit again, given the cost and experience. We had high hopes, I believe it was our mistake.

Pampering at its best.
We had a great weekend stay at the Falaknuma Palace. The location is great and the proximity to the airport was a pleasant surprise. The palace is stunning as one would imagine, but staff is their biggest asset. The ethos trickling down from the GM downwards, is consistent. Extremely courteous from the security to bell staff, naming a few, Wasim at the gate, Meraj for entry and fretted to take pictures. Deepak & jahangir at the entrance to Pyare mohan and Mr. VK Rao for assisting with our bags even while walking h through the property, not just during check in and checkout. The FnB team under Nasar, is the cherry on the top. Santosh and Nasar were kind enough to pack us some condiments as treats to take back which we through enjoyed. Salman, Sudhakar, Sumanth were all exuding the same ethos of hospitality, and making us feel so so special at every meal. Even Imtimenla, who brightened our mornings walking into breakfast, with her wide smile :) Thank you to Latha in reservations for securing our room on such short nice and being so accommodating. We will be back for sure!

Five star care in an historic venue
The hotel is a gem in Hyderabad. All its historic past is part of the experience. Our room was comfortable and well appointed with lovely extra touches. There is a choice of restaurants and the food in all of them is excellent, including a superb breakfast choice. But most of all it is the staff who make the place - all charming and friendly and going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. No chance to explore the pool but we are returning later this week so fingers crossed. It will hopefully be a perfect finale to our Deccan visit.
