Built in 1880 within nine acres of gardens, Taj Usha Kiran Palace carries Gwalior’s Maratha royal history through a carefully restored residence. Rooms, suites, tents and pool villas combine carved stone, filigree details and high ceilings with contemporary comforts; selected accommodation looks towards Gwalior Fort. Silver Saloon draws on recipes associated with Maratha and Nepalese royal kitchens, complemented by a café, bar and private dining. The pool and J Wellness Circle sit within the gardens, alongside ceremonial arrival rituals, heritage walks and evening music in the palace’s courtyards.
