Stay 

Taj Falaknuma Palace has 46 royal rooms and 14 suites. Built in a baroque style, the hotel blends old world style with modern sophistication and comfort. Inside there's a vestibule, its walls and ceilings adorned with frescoes, Greek urns and alabaster nymphs. Luxury Rooms are adorned with colonial-era polished wood furniture, splendid valance curtains, and Italian marble floors. Palace Rooms have regal canopied bed, with oak wood floors and hand-painted wall motifs. 

Located at the pincers of this scorpion-shaped Falaknuma Palace, are two Historical Suites. These grand high ceilings suites have delicate Edwardian artwork, antique furniture and luscious fabrics personally hand-picked by Her Highness Princess Esra. The Royal Suites are completed with stunning 120-year-old Burma teak rafters, polished to perfection, its own private swimming pool, and a private Jacuzzi.

ChildCare 

Children are welcome to stay at the Taj Falaknuma Palace but there are no specific facilities available for them. Babysitting can be arranged upon request. However, items like toiletries for children and some game items are provided. There are also some children friendly activities conducted at the hotel to keep them busy.

Dine 

Falaknuma Palace has two accomplished restaurants: Celeste, specialises in Mediterranean cuisine; and Adá, whose forte is highly refined Hyderabadi specialties, prepared in the slow-cooking style. Above, on a terrace under the coloured-glass canopy, guests take cocktails as the sun sets, appreciating the subtly shifting colours of the palace and sky; slowly understand the meaning of Falaknuma or "mirror of the sky".

Breakfast is at Jade Verandah where the ‘Charminar breakfast’ recreates the same experience previously offered by the Nizams at Falaknuma to visiting dignitaries. At lunchtime, opt for a simple salad in the Rotunda next to the swimming pool. The Jade Room, once used for royal gatherings is the ideal place for afternoon tea.

Relax 

The pool provides a tranquil setting in which to relax with a book or to recover from the rigors of the morning’s sightseeing. It meanders through a tropical garden and is better for cooling off than for swimming laps. The Falaknuma Palace’s Royal Jiva Spa transports you to a time when relaxation was both a finely-honed art and a practised science. The experiences are masterminded by well-trained experts armed with exclusive natural products and a gentle approach to all round healing. 

Experience 

For royal experiences, take a history & architecture tour of this Nizam’s former residence that has undergone a loving restoration under the supervision of Princess Esra. Take heritage walk through the former home of the Nizam, the world’s richest man. You can also request for a spectacular arrival and begin your experience like the Nizam and his entourage from yesteryears with a special welcome. In the evening, request for private dining in fairy tale settings.
