Two thousand feet above Hyderabad, Taj Falaknuma Palace occupies a former royal residence completed in the late nineteenth century, reached by a ceremonial drive through extensive hillside grounds. Sixty rooms and suites sit among stained glass, carved ceilings, Venetian chandeliers and a sweeping marble staircase, preserving the scale of a private palace. Adaa serves Hyderabadi cuisine, while Celeste and the 101 Dining Hall provide contrasting settings for meals. Terraced gardens descend towards the city, with a pool and spa positioned beyond the formal courtyards and columned verandas.
